• Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

  Hello

  I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
  Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
  would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
  A reboot cold was the only solution.
  I was told to replace the HD I did but the
  problem persisted with the new HD.

  I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
  At this point, the warranty period has increased.
  Frost started happening more regularly, and
  now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
  It starts and then try to boot from the network,
  because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

  At this point, I think I need a new system board.
  Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
  before?

  Thank you
  Ray

• ESX 3.5 machines comments can't see more than one disk virtual iSCSI

  Hello

  In our environment, we currently have two guest computers (running Windows server 2003) on a single host ESX 3.5 (dell PowerEdge 2950). Virtual machines are stored on our SAN (Dell PowerVault MD3000i). There are other mounting virtual disks on the San that we want to connect directly via an inititator iSCSI on each of the host machines. However, when you try to do this, we see that the a disk LUN at a time. Physical servers can access all LUNS without no problem, these two cannot.

  We prefer not to make use of RDM, as told me he is not slender and outdated (please tell me if is is not the case). The SAN has the last firmware update. The esx itself host can see all LUNS. On the SAN 'host type' for both virtual computers is configured as windows Server 2003/2008 in clusters.

  Is that all that I'm missing/maybe badly configured?

  Kind regards

  Marc

  I'm not sure I understand.

  You have your MD3000i certain VMFS LUNS and other 'firsts' (to be used with NTFS). Is this ok?

  If you go to a 'gross' LUN using iSCSI initiator of sw inside a virtual machine you can see as a single logical unit number?

  Your goal is to create a Microsoft Cluster? 2003 or 2008?

  You want to use a cluster 2008 install the MD3000i tools in virtual machines.

• Could not restore Windows 7 after Windows 8 Preview - TM2 version have restore DVD, always fails.

  Hello!  I'm about out of ideas on how to resolve this, so I'll do a summary of what I changed with the machine and then further troubleshooting details on.  The hp touchsmart PC portable individual I is a TM2-1079 cl, product number: WA812UA #ABA.  I got it for the length of 2012, I bought it used another person about 1 year ago now specifically to play with Windows 8, before his release.  Regarding materials real age, I can tell from the warranty information that it was made at the end of 2009, he stated the warranty period was from January 2010 to January 2011.

  Okay, so my story with the OS change goes:
  -> Bought this TM2 in early 2012, ran the recovery partition to wipe it clean from the previous use of owners and he went perfectly well, then a Windows 7 clean installation as if it were new.  I had also made use of an Acronis True Image 2010 boot disk to a hard disk image of the three than other recovery partitions (although I do not understand the freshly installed windows partition 7, thought it wouldn't matter if the recovery could do it's thing right?)
  -> A few days later, I loaded the second of the three Preview versions for Windows 8 above (Customer Preview build I think).   Everything worked well and it doubles starting between the two without problem, as far as I know, the only real made amounted to convert the main partition that Windows 7 was installed on an extended partition and splitting of existing Windows 7 partition everything also 50-50 indoor and extended partition.  She had also replaced the Boot Manager / bootloader which was there before, but once again not surprised.
  -> When the build of the Preview version was released over the summer I did an update from inside windows 8 and all seemed well again.  Change between builds two preview has developed a problem where I could not stop windows 8 without a handful of error boxes poping up to the top, but I'm pretty sure that was unrelated.
  --> More recently about time thanksgiving, I decided to give the laptop to a family member with an archiac office who has had problems and updated factor of old general who in fact does not.   This person is quite unfavorable for change so that everything "Win8-vs-what people are used" comes into play.   I decided to erase the TM2 clean to the BONE it comes with.    Here's where I'm stuck now:

  => Before doing anything I did a just incase, glad I did another true picture of the HARD drive.
  => I have tried F11 to load the recovery partition to see that, because of the bootloader be tampered with by Windows 8 it is really not to the HP recovery partition more while it is still on the hard drive.
  => Captures the image of hard drive since the beginning of the year with the partition recovery on it until windows 8 hit the machine, cleaned the hard drive completely, restored the disk image.   I could now enter HP recovery fine but...
  => I got a dialogue mistake right off the bat, saying that the recovery partition could not install and insert me CD 1 of recovery of education software.  Well I never did the dvd myself with the single use burning star when it worked so that is out and I did not buy the disks on the HP support site.   At this point I'm stumped, but why the recovery partition cannot install despite the computer load up in recovering very well.  For example, command prompt in the Windows PE environment is functional and all files seem to be present.   Maybe some checks as the recovery partition is not pirated could have been triggered by hard drive imaging, I'm really not sure?
  => I did then used the image of HARD drive, I had just created before trying it and restored the other copy of the reader (bootloader altered Win8, Win8 version preview, win7, the inaccessible and all recovery partition).   Windows 7 and 8 - RP can still start.   Google a bit on the recovery partition key (F11) is dirtied by Windows 8 and came to find that I had to only salvage value as the partition "Active" so he can start.  Sure, I have to start but I'm running into the same issue, where the real recovery partition loads but now refuses to start the process of restoring without HP dvd.  Because I know that for some it worked months ago I guess that once more, because I ended up restoring this version of the recovery partition it may also declared himself tampered with... great.
  -Online planned what to do a little and then finally just ordered the DVD from HP in December, I had specifically recovery DVD for my model and they weren't from HP directly, not second hand on ebay or another person.  Wasn't really that bad, $16, very reasonable price.  Should be just, legit OEM DVD to use?  Nope...
  => Came the DVD.  Two main recovery disks and a third for applications and drivers.   Start with disk one and he says is formatting the drive how he wants (good, I love it so far), copy all the content of the three disks on the hard drive and starts his reboot and install cycle.    Restarts a handful of times, you can tell that well after the copy of the content of the any disk and installing windows.  You see the logo Windows 7 boot a few times and even the standard background 'prepare your things' which is similar to the Windows 7 login screen.  The screen becomes certainly as far as the driver proper (and others I guess at that time here) such as changes in native resolution for LCD of the TM2 towards the end.
  -Online all of a sudden on the 3rd or 4th (I think) reboot of windows setup begins for a while then said stop, it restarts and it is back in Windows PE installation of recovery again (this time from the hard drive, not the DVD) and says that it has failed to restore and offers to start over from the beginning.

  This is where I am stuck.  The recovery Partition died on me post-Windows 8 and the official HP recovery DVD fail to me (and curiously they you apparently miss you in all stages of restoration windows 7, well after the DVD themselves are are most read from).

  > Question 1: is the "self-destruct" HP recovery partition if he gets imaged hard drive imaging software and restored?  I can confirm mine worked fine and then died after after crossing Acronis True Image.  Another possibility is that perhaps there is a certain ID or the tattoo of the hard disk or specific partitions that was lost when Windows 8 put his recent bootloader into the machine or lost of Acronis?  It's always the hdd oem supplied with the computer, it has not been turned out.
  > Question 2: are there known issues with the official recovery of Windows 7 DVD s for an end TM2 2009 1079 cl?  I also know the recovery of Cyberlink software fix / preinstall disc and tried this with results that were not different in without it.  That said, my machine has the version of the recovery software Cyberlink, I read something as software from 3 different companies for recovery depending on the period of time the laptop was manufactured and sold.
  Reference: [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-80183-1 ]
  > Question 3: clearly asked, what now?  Another thing to try or I have to go find a disc of windows 7 RTM and snatch all the zippers of all pilot?  (Quite hoping to avoid this, I'm actually curious enough to really understand what happened here and that will work he answered nothing.)  hehe).

  Perhaps of things this way: some research led me to believe have the WLAN switch off at the beginning of the recovery causes the driver to flip out (and win7 seems indeed dropping dead during the last steps of the installation of the driver) however it is not possible it seems to activate the wireless card 'on' before that point.  Switch do even when active state.   As I have already mentioned the recovery of Cyberlink software patch has no effect on things.   No parts have never been amended in this machine, the original hard drive, the wireless network card, modules, ram ect.   I doubt that the motherboard bios / firmware has never been States machinery, update is revision F.02.

  I have at my disposal:
  Much time, in fact, hense why I really want to know what has happened and do not use the disc of Win7 RTM.
  * disk hard recovery HP before addressed Win8 image machine.

  * disk hard recovery image after Win8 and a little bug, but still bootable Win8-RP.
  * The correct recovery DVD for my laptop HP-directed, ordered recently (December 2012).
  * Enough confidence to play with score editing tools would it be a suggestion, never really used much outside of gparted on discs live linux however.  In view of the current state of the machine there is nothing to lose much more than to risk.

  Sorry for the wall of text!  I love being very detailed!

  I actually had, pretty much on a whim of 'eh, might as well try it' too!

  So I told him earlier that it seemed obvious that most of the recovery completed well, something just kept arye until reset all cycles of the overall configuration process.   Seemed as if drivers were causing a problem because the display driver had obviously just finished installing a few moments before the final restart dead-end.  There was a lot of forum discussions there on different models of HP laptops, who need the wireless card to be placed in 'market' or restore might fail completely, I tried but the TM2 does not really allow you to change the WLAN State of 'off' when the operating system has already recognized (as in bios menus and windows install ", it stays just off even if you hit the switch).

  I decided to try pulling the mini-pcie card out of the machine completely and from configuration on and... It worked!  I had throughout a fresh Windows 7 and he even recreated my recovery partition correctly!

  Check in the C:\SwSetup\ directory after the installation was made, I found all the other drivers and a folder called 'WLAN', which was empty.   I guess that means if recovery is not material, then they choose even not copy the data to a certain device driver.   Because it was not present, everything that's wrong with installing drivers during recovery wireless cards never crashed the recovery all!

  I wonder if there isn't something wrong with the wireless card in my TM2 in all honesty.  I had a problem with it along since I got a year ago in this radius of reception was terrible and if I went that areas of the room of the wifi point he was likely to win.   Having said that it worked then I ignored it before.   Maybe the card is gone belly up and install recovery is not just installation to recognize errors in nonlethal pilot since the WIFI network?  He would fit with other peoples problems when WLAN is turned off as well at least.

  ---

  As a separate note, since the new year I've updated my personal machine (a HP DV6T) for one SSD and (without erasing my old HDD), I decided to try acronis imagery on this cover of machines and other partitions under Windows 7 itself for the SSD.   Of course, the same question appeared, recovery would not launch without the DVD.   Apparently Acronis True Image just cannot successfully restore HP to an image of partition recovery.   I don't pretend to know why but while the real partiton returns through restoration and environmental WinPE is running the effective recovery certainly does not aftering through an image .tib in the case of two separate HP machines.

  ---

  (For googlers who think so), these are two of the three questions, which I came across while doing this resolved and everything that I'm going to worry.

  > Windows 8 Preview mess with bootloaders, breaks recovery, I didn't figure out how to restore it.
  > Do not rely on an image of hard disk from the recovery partition, even if you can restore the partition and it opens to black recovery menu window it can still fail and ask the recovery dvd.  The recovery partition disk imaging is risky!

  > If your HP recovery (partition or dvd, or another) dies near the end of all this and turning on/off WLAN is not helping, try ripping off the mini-pcie for the restore time card and then reinsert once you return to an operating system clean, everything worked for me!  For reference, I don't know what model of wlan card that is exactly, but it's a Broadcom 802.11n adapter (HP alternative number? Not sure) SPS: 593837-001.  The driver will not be C:\SwSetup\ after the installation as the dvd won't copy out but plug in ethernet, windows update finds it easy.

• Tecra M10 - 11U - DVD + cannot read & disk partitions

  Hi all

  I just got my new Tecra M10 - 11U and noticed 2 things troubling
  (1) my DVD cannot read DVD + R - Vista recognized the DVD and its type, but cannot open it. Ideas?
  (2) my drive letters are C and E, where is my D drive, is the hidden recovery drive?
  Is it safe to change the E to D drive

  Nirko

  Hello

  1. it is not easy to provide a response to this. The question is rather general and who knows what kind of things is on this DVD + R media.
  2 D drive probably doesn t exist. You can check if the D drive letter is available for free. If so this means that this player is not available. You can check in computer management > disk management. Choose the second partition and click with the right mouse button > choose the option change the drive letter or path. You will see that D is available here.

  Recovery disk doesn t exist and it is not hidden. Toshiba recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.
  * You can change the drive letters, but before you do anything whatsoever, please create recovery DVD.*

• DVD problem - all disks blank display

  WIN XP SP3 plus all updates.

  It is a follow-up to discussion groups.

  In December 2009, I bought a new LiteOn IHAP322-22 x DVD.

  I recently used my drive OEM XP SP2 or it to start my computer I get intermittent BSOD so I have been using a disk iso boot if necessary.

  A few weeks later he land at the stop, it is up to the provider.

  Have been able to start the computer without the need of the boot disk, I took the opportunity to make a backup with the new dvd.
  After having done that, I checked to see that everything was safely on disk only to find it's blank - nothing show.  I put the disk in a laptop and all backup files were there.

  I tried different types of discs, DVD video, music video,
  other backup discs and discs of recorded and all text are empty.
  I also checked in the hardware Manager - device working properly - no warning - tried to update driver [Microsoft 5.1.2535.0] but the one I have is - this - no driver for restore.  Tried the troubleshooting and not help.  Uninstall/install any help.  Lite we confirmed, I got the correct driver.

  I returned the object under warranty to the supplier - I have been informed that the dvd was defective - new one sent.

  This has had the same problem as that returned.  NO2 has been collected and even once has been tested and found to be defective - new one sent - same problems - No3 collected and have the same problem as the others.  [Has been said that the next [4]] would be tested before shipping.  No. 4 did not operate either. The box has been opened so presumed it had been tested.

  Upon receipt of each new article I did the following -

  Ckecked in device - no display problem - tried the "convenience store" - negative management.  Uninstall/install driver - negative.

  I tried run/regedit entry-
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  But there is no superior or showing lower filters, so couldn't edit/change etc as per-

  Hello

  You can Google DVD decoders and find several good ones. One is usually supplied with the system
  or the CD/DVD drive.

  You are right that sometimes it's easier to re - install Windows however most of these CD/DVD problems
  can be fixed in a step or two. Sometimes, nothing works except a re-installation.

  Only you as the person who initially started the thread or a moderater can mark this thread as
  responded. Even if I could score I don't know that if all answers must be marked.

  Hi missmliss90,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  The drive shows in Windows Explorer?  Hold down the Windows key and press the letter E.  It shows properly in Windows Explorer?  Can you download the latest driver from the manufacturer's website and install on the system?

  Click on StartORB/Control Panel/Classic View/Manager device - remove the CD/DVD-Rom from here then install the driver from the manufacturer's website.

  Let us know if this helps solve the problem or if assistance is needed.
