After doing so he says that my drive would be encrypted after the reboot, so I restarted the mac mini and now I have an error, login screen ar, just says error there is an error, log on to ar this time try again later?

• Connect a NTFS HARD drive directly to the virtual system without format (ESXi 5.0)

  Hi, I am fairly new with ESXi and everything, so this may be a very stupid question. I installed ESXi 5.0 without any problem and it converted my old win Server 2008 without problem. Windows worked also as a data store and he had pretty much full 1 TB HARD drive connected to itself. Now, I would like to know how this HDD to NTFS to directly connect to this virtual machine. I can see the disk devices, but I could not find a way to connect to this computer. I wanted to make data store or something like that, but that in fact the data store is not possible without formatting the drive.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion. Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  Although not supported (I suppose that the system is in any way a Whitebox) you could try to attach the drive as a ROW for the virtual machine. For how this can be done, take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx40i/SATA_RDMs.php

• How to connect two external HARD drive satellite and the same printer?

  Hello

  I have now two laptop Toshiba Equium.
  What is the best way to connect them so that they can access the same external hard drive and the same printer?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I guess the two laptops are in the same network; Home LAN or WLan. Right?
  I this case I recommend you connect HARD drive and printer to one of the portable satellite.

  Then you can share the HARD drive and the printer with other cell phones on the LAN.

  You could add the network permission to others, and in this case the other participants of the network would be able to share the printer and HARD drive.

• HP Envy dv6 7247 cl: what is the cable that connects my laptop HARD drive?

  There is a small cable about an inch of that long, it connects a SATA 300 HD to something else, I can't not recognize inside my laptop, my hard drive is dead and along my warranty gone, is it possible to replace the snack cable replace my HARD drive does not work?
  
  Here's a Visual.
  
  Thank you.

  Hello andrew8blue,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I saw your picture and read your thread. The cable is not a replaceable part. You might have to replace the whole motherboard if the HARD drive does not work.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

• No satellite P770-111 no SATA cable to connect the 2nd HARD drive

  Hello!

  I bought by Satellite P770-111 3 days and was hoping to insert another HARD drive that I had in my old laptop.
  OK, I opened the plastic cover on the bottom side of the laptop and there are 2 slots of HDD (2.5 ") but a single HARD disk.
  A HARD disk that is currenty in the laptop's big 500 GB. I would like to install another, but there is a problem:
  There is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.

  Basically, there are 2 slots hard drive but only a connection interface. Could you please tell me how could I install a 2nd HARD drive?

  Thank you in advance!

  Damjan

  > there is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.
  The fact is that not all laptops of the same series of notebook models are equipped with the same motherboard and controllers of same.
  This means that even if there is a second HARD-drive Bay, you will not be able to use a 2nd HARD drive. You know

  The chassis is the same in all models of laptops but there are different motherboards and not all supported 2nd controller.

• No internet connection after replacing HARD drive

  Toshiba A665-S5170

  I kept getting an error telling me to fix or replace the hard drive, so I had a WD caviar blue 1 TB replacement drive. I reinstalled windows 7 but I can't connect to the internet, even with an Ethernet cable. The convenience store said that I have no network card drivers so I downloaded several other different of toshibas site on my other computer and transfer via USB stick, but they do not seem to have changed anything. What can I do to fix this?

  Hi NickStodola,

  A network card driver is a software used by your computer to communicate with your wireless network card. Obsolete, corrupt or incompatible network adapter drivers may prohibit the network connections or cause intermittent disconnects.

  If you recently upgraded from one Windows operating system to another, it is possible that the current network adapter driver was designed for the previous Windows operating system. If you have had recent power outages, viruses, or other computer problems, it is possible that the driver is corrupted. Download and install the latest network card driver may solve these problems.

  See the link below and check if that helps.
