Using the Flash drive and external HD

I have an external hard drive and flash drive I try to use it on one of our virtual machines of Windows. Is there something I should do for the virtual machine to recognize that something is plugged the USB? I plugged it in but it does not appear.

Thank you.

Hello

ESXi 4.1 supports USB and all what you need to do is add a USB controller to the virtual machine that will allow USB devices get detected. Follow the article below

http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1022290

A simple USB key can be detected on VM 1 only and not multiple virtual machines at the same time.

Hope the information is useful.

  • Use the flash drive for the paging file

    Hello. I would like to use a USB flash drive for the file rather than the HARD disk to increase performance on an older system. I've set up to use the flash player and the system restarts. But whenever I check, it uses the HARD drive. Why doesn't the setting?

    Hello. OK, well I got what I was doing wrong. I never put the c: for not having a swap file.

    @greenestguy

    Swap file cannot be larger than 4 GB, so no need for a 8 GB flash drive. Save some $$.

    Don't know why it would be a bad idea because MS have programmed it in Vista and Win 7 as ReadyBoost. I suppose there is always the chance that I don't see any difference on the old hardware, but I do not see how it would break anything.

  • Problems with the flash drive and ReadyBoost

    I just bought a fairly expensive 32 GB SanDisc Extreme 3.0 USB Flash Drive for use with my Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit...

    After formatting the new flash drive and tried to assign to ReadyBoost, a dialog box pop on the screen informing me that "this device cannot be used for ReadyBoost.  The unit doesn't have the performance characteristics required.

    If Windows 7 does not have a top of the range flash drive as a device for ReadyBoost, what "performance" requires

    Not an answer to your question, but let me point out the following:
    unless you have very little RAM on your computer, ReadyBoost is
    useless and will do nothing to improve your performance. Use of the
    drive for something else.

  • Using the Flash drive when you use the Mac book Pro?

    I am currently trying to determine whether it would be useful to add an extra cost of £400 for the other half TB of Flash Drive when buying top spec Mac book Pro?

    Depends on your storage needs. You're OK with unloading of LARGE files on an external USB 3 drive? If so, you can save the $$$ and get the 256 GB.

    I have 256GB flash on my retina of MBP 2015 and that's a lot for me. If I start running out of space, I'll spend LARGE files my server or an external USB drive to free up space on my MBP of retina.

  • Using the function tablet and external monitor at the same time

    Hello

    I was hoping with the docking station and the external monitor, I can work as with an ordinary computer and at the same time to use the computer screen Tablet laptop to take notes with Journal (extended desktop display).

    Unfortunately, when I touch the screen with the stylus, it is still planned for the external monitor - no matter what I set as main display it seems just really stupid.

    Does anyone have an idea how to prevent this?

  • Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

    Hello

    I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  • I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter t

    Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • How long will take to perform a backup in Vista? And if I use a flash drive?

    I'm doing a back up on my laptop for the first time. I want to know how long does take to make it complete? and can I use a flash drive to put it on the back

    * original title - I need help *.

    I'm doing a back up on my laptop for the first time. I want to know how long does take to make it complete? and can I use a flash drive to put it on the back

    Yes, you can use a flash drive.

    It is conventional to use an external hard drive. Mine has a capacity of 1 TB of sub Canandian $100.

    As for how long, it varies. Depends on the amount of files to back up.

    I think that the first time I did it was an hour.

    The next backup would be shorter because he'll be increment backup... just save those who are new.

  • Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

    I am a first time user to windows 7 Professional and need to learn how to access files that are connected to the computer by an external flash drive or an external hard drive.

    External or external flash drives hard drives can be connected to windows 8 computers or windows xp to view the files, but when then identical external or external flash drives hard drives are connected to two computers with windows 7 Professional there are settings automatically don ot all access to the external hard drive or flash drive external files.

    When the computer display, it displays the external hard drive.

    When I left click top produces a pop up with the title bar: location is not available

    Content: H: | is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    When I right click on the hard drive and then click the Security tab, it displays:

    Name of the object: H: |

    To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.

    Do you want to continue?

    Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

    Owner

    You do not have permission to view this object's security properties.  To view its security properties, you can try to take possession of the object.  As owner, you can also control who gets the permissions on the object.  Please note that once you take possession, the previous owner may not have access to the object.

    To try to take possession of the object, select an account from the list, and then click OK.

    Name of the object: H: |

    Current owner: unable to display current owner.

    Change in ownership to:

    the two choices are my name or administrators

    I then chose an and apply and ok and it did not work.

    I then chose the other and apply and ok and it did not work.

    Then I clicked on other users or groups and entered everyone and that no longer works.

    I am the only user of this computer brand new.

    When I click on accounts Panel then user control and security for the family and then user accounts, it displays my name as administrator password.

    What are the steps that I can buy an external hard drive or buy a flash drive or use the ones I already have and use them with this computer which has windows 7 Professional?

    How is the switch of the property did not work?

    I went back to safety again and this time stayed at the bottom for special permissions or advanced settings.

    And yet when I kept getting location is not available

    H:\ is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    How do change you windows 7 Professional so that you can have access to your own files on an external hard drive or an external flash drive.

    Please list the steps.

    Thank you

    This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

    Steps:

    (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

    (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

    When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

    Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

    This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

    The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

    Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

  • Using the HARD drive of a Tecra A4 as a for another laptop external HARD drive.

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. I want to use the HARD drive as a second hard drive to another laptop, but it seemed to me that the HDD in Tecra A4 has a special bond that does not fit in a standard externel HDD-Bay. Anyone know how I can use the HARD Tecra A4 drive as an external HARD drive?

    Subquestion: is it not possible to use a 2.5 "HARD drive normal in a Toshiba Tecra A4?

    Hello

    AFAIK Tecra A4 has 2.5 inch HDD inside. But the HARD drive has another connector HARD drive that you can remove. The HARD drive is placed in the HARD drive chassis and fixed with four screws. Remove the screw and the connector. Be very carefully and take it easy.

    After that you can use in other laptops.

  • Documents transferred from the old to new using a flash drive. Here, the documents but scrambled - help

    I was on this site before and learned the file transfer Wizard.  Did not work.  So we went to the flash player.  The documents are there, but when you try to open them, they are truncated.  How can I get these documents readable.

    Both are windows XP, old is Service pack 2, Service Pack 3 is new, and I have Microsoft works.

    I gather from your rather terse comments that you copied the files to a computer on a flash drive and then copied to another computer.  Did you use backup software to copy the files to the flash drive, or did you just use Windows Explorer (or select--> copy--> paste or drag and drop)?

    What application (including version) has been used to create the files and what application (including version) are you using to try to open the files?

    What is the file extension of the files (3 or 4 characters after the point)?
