• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Unable to see the rate of disk on the VMS using NFS

  I think I know the root of the problem... it's because in vCenter, it isn't follow rates disk VMDK on NFS with the metric of the standard rate of disk.  vCenter actually uses the 'rate of virtual disk' instead.  But it seems that all default counters for vFoglight aren't looking 'Rate of virtual disk' but 'Rate of disc' so that all my virtual machines with no available data trying to determine their rate of disk.

  Is there anyway to change this behavior?

  There are some conditions in order to obtain metrics NFS:

  • vSphere 4.1 and later versions
  • vFoglight 6.6 and FGLAM base VMware agent
  • Metric NFS does not appear on the dashboard by default, only exposed in the dashboard customized by drag / move.
    • This will change in a future release.

  I Don t have any NFS data warehouses in my lab so I can´t show you a dashboard example with action of NFS. If I get my hands on a laboratory with NFS I'll post back a few screenshots here.

• W7 Upgrade activation key is no longer valid after the second boot disk failures.

  My computer, purchased in 2009, had Vista pre-installed (no disk). AprΦs dΘmarrage player shows errors last year I bought an update to W7 (this time as a virtual drive). The upgrade went without problems. Now, a year later, my boot drive has yet again, this time a complete crash. I had to replace the drive and install W7 from scratch - and now I get the error message that the activation key is valid for an upgrade, not for a new installation.

  I tried to restore from an Image backup, but it turned out that the image was also corrupted. I have nothing more than the 'User', no file system folder. The old boot drive is totally inaccessible (blue screen just at the moment where I try to reconnect it), the first disc of starting (with Vista on it) is gone (and there were gaps, in any case).

  I understand why this (activation key invalid) happens, but I also believe I am justified in using this version of W7 and should get it activated. Someone has any suggestions how to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You can complete the installation of upgrade by following the instructions here...

• looking for the BIOS boot disk

  Anyone know where I can get a BIOS file for a Pavilion a225c (DF281A) that creates a bootable floppy/CD? The only BIOS file, I have found you have to install Windows, but my problem is preventing me to start Windows.

  I could also use a diagnostic boot disk, available on-site diagnostic tests require also Windows installation. If someone is able to point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Test your memory before the flash.

  Your hard drive may or may not be at fault. Error code 7 could mean just corrupted hard disk controllers. This could also be the reason for the bsod.

  2. expand the section "readers".

  3. go in "SATA Operation."

  Hello

  Here's another suggestion that may help.

  Start Notepad and let Windows load completely.  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  For the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER.  In the System Configuration window, click the Startup tab, uncheck the box next to each startup item and then click on apply to apply the change.  Restart the computer and see if you can now get 3 disc to burn and check - as I suggested earlier, if it creates all the other disks before starting the window System Configuration and re - allows objects of start - stop and try again.

• Unable to connect the existing thick disks in VM

  I am trying to establish a connection between a series of existing virtual disks and some virtual machine. So far, I was able to connect to all my discs thin-set in service without any problem with the following line:

  However, it seems that this command does not always work when it comes to thick-set disks in service, resulting in the following error message:

• How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

  I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

  Again, I have no drive cd/dvd on a netbook... IM assuming that im going to have to return a key USB with windows boot info to load the Manu F2 at startup... But I do not know... Help, please. Thank you

• Apple tv 4th gen unable to buy the movies if to never ask for the password and code value of active access

  Hello

  I noticed that since a few weeks I'm not able to buy a movie more if:

  -Set store account never ask for password

  -Activate restrictions (set a password) and all buy "limited."

  It works with the same configuration perfectly on my Apple TV 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation, where clicking on the buy button you are prompted to enter the password instead of having to enter your iTunes account password every time.

  But on the Apple TV 4th gen, once I click the button to buy, I get the circle of rotation and it keeps just there, never ask the password so that the operation never happens.

  If I disable the restrictions for the purchase of movies, I can buy the movie (do not ask for an access code and password)

  If I put the password on all your purchases, I am also able to buy the film.

  But still, if I set the password to "ask always", then enable password, set 'focused' purchases (so I'm in the best situation: should I get the password dialog box when I'm about to buy anything, rather than the full itunes password) it simply doesn't.

  I tried: record / stop all accounts (not just the store, but also iCloud, gamecenter, home sharing, etc) - nothing

  Also tried to restore the device and set up from scratch: nothing.

  Apple TV 4th gen updated to the latest version of the software (tried to update, said: I'm updating)

  And again, if I try to do the same thing on Apple TV 1st generation, 2nd generation, 3rd generation, they have all THE work. (Click on buy, get the guest password, enter my 4 digits, in fact)

  The thing is that I am convinced that it worked before this nonsense.

  I'm in Spain, and my account is linked to the Spanish bank

  Any ideas?

  I'm afraid that you'll just have to disable restrictions until the problem is resolved.
