VIPerlToolkit: How to create a disk image

Hello

I was wondering how to create a new floppyimage in a data store using the viperltoolkit as if it was possible in the dialog box editing a virtual machine (see the screenshot).

I think there must be two steps (hidden):

1. create the *.flp file in the specified storage (but how?)

2 use this file as a support for the floppy device (I'm able to do this )

Can someone help me with the first? I couldn't find any method that could be the one.

Thanks, Chris

When you create the disk, make sure you that choose 'create' in the VirtualDeviceSpec.FileOperation

  • How to create a disk Image in Windows 8

    I want to do something real Basic.  I think I know how, but the confirmation of the need.  I want a disk Image full of my hard drives so that if my hard next week C drive crashes I can quickly return to normal (normal, the way which was when I made the image).  I do not view the files in the Image or anything else.  I just want to avoid the week it would completely re - install everything.  With regard to data (not the files system etc, but my personal data), I have another solution for this.  I think that the option of recovering files in Windows 7 in Windows 8 will do what I want in what concerns the creation of an image, but I want to be sure.  I think everything I do is as follows:
    In Windows 7 File Recovery select "create a System Image" and the backup on external media.  I think I also need to create a System Image repair disc.  Once this is done, if my C disk fails tomorrow I think that all I have to do, is as follows:
    Put the recovery disk in my hard drive.  Start the computer to the reader and follow the instructions to copy the stuff on my external hard drive through my C drive.
    Is the above, real or not?

    You guessed it... The system image is an image of the reserved system & windows partitions.

    With any Microsoft windows 8 install or update of the same bits of DVD or the same bits win8 system repair disc, put on cd, dvd or USB stick bootable... you can use it to boot from and there are simply in your sysem image and any hard drive of equal or greater size.    Will probably work.  Can never say for sure 100%.    its good to have a 2nd source of images and program to run it.  EaseUS ToDo Macrium or something.    Reads the command RecImg & what he does.

    External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

    How to make a disk image of work for my windows 98se boot (original is long dead).  I have a copy of Windows 98SE bought new off the years of the plateau.  I now have a 64-bit system, so I can't run it natively, but I discovered that I can't even run at all, because I don't have a working bootable floppy!  I thought that the CD is bootable, when I used it a long time ago, but now it does not start if I have used the disk? Anyway, can I get a driver Microsoft w/CD install/bootable disk, or do I have another decent resource?

  • How to create a rotating image with links

    Hello, I am a novice when it comes to Web design. I created this site for my business...

    www.gomvpsport.com

    I was told to create an image of rotation on the home page that performs a cycle 5 images that each have a unique integrated link. I know how to create a rotating image in Flash and publish it in SWF, but it does not work on an iPhone, etc.

    I would avoid using Flash, unless there is a new way to export and also if there are unique links for each image (5).

    I use Dreamweaver CS6 on a PC.

    In the attached photo, I want that the area within the pink to rotate every five seconds in a loop. And I want that every picture is linked to another url. I have need of before arrows and back or buttons.

  • How to create a disk to reboot

    I need to create a disk to reboot, how do I do this?

    Hi Ian,

    What do you mean by ' reboot disc? I think "Repair disk" for the windows operating system, but I don't know if I'm on the right track. If I am, then click the Start button, followed by all programs. Scroll to the maintenance option and click on it. The menu will grow and you should see an option called "create a system repair disc". Click it to start the process. Do not forget to insert a blank disc into your CD/DVD drive, and then click the option 'create disc '.

    If this is not what you are looking for then please provide more information, and we can try and help you.

    You might not be able to save the original backup, but make a backup of the current system option is possible. Just save to the USB key. And it takes about 15 to 30 GB for it.

  • How to create an HDR image when tutorial procedures do not work?

    I want to create an HDR image, but nothing happens when I followed the steps in the tutorial. Am I suppose to select three identical images in the library each with different exposures. The tutorial shows the images that is clicked to turn on highlight, but after clicking on the three photos, only the last remnant highlighted. The tutorial also said click on the PHOTO and then MERGE of PHOTOS then HDR. However nothing happens at all. The tutorial also indicated that this procedure is very easy. No it's not! What is the CORRECT procedure to create a HDR photo?

    Are you hold down the CTRL key as you select the three images?  Or click on the 'First' and then SHIFT-click on the 'last '.

    How to browse and compare photos in Lightroom

    The three images (or even two!) must be identical to the object and be taken at different exposures in the camera. (Create three different exposures of an image does not work!)

    So the procedure is-

    1. Select photos that two (or three) to merge to HDR

    2. press CTRL + H (command + H on a Mac)

    3. choose options in the dialog

    4. click on [fusion]

    5. open the image in the develop module and visually adjust as needed.

  • How to create multiple thumbnail images while creating the Image assets

    Hi all!


    I have a requirement to create several thumbnail images (of different sizes), while creating new assets of image. These vignettes must be associated with different attributes after the recording of assets. I thought you used miniature filter, but I read that it uses a library of swing, it's very very inefficient memory-wise and we can experience the memory leak and crashes with only a very limited number of images... Another solution is to set up the filter citing ImageMagick with a system exec: it's fast, it does not have the memory and it also generates a much greater quality of thumbnail image resizer that comes with swing.


    What do you think, and how can I implement this?


    Thank you very much!

    Hello Elena,

    We noticed some performance issues in our current client, so we changed the miniature filter by default:

    A temporary file is no longer used for the input image. The source image is used directly, because it is not changed by the thumbnail generator.

    This avoids some performance issues, we have detected. First of all, because of the way the image has been copied (a byte is read and written each time), and second, because of some file systems environments run badly.

    In addition, it relies on "deleteOnExit", which can produce an impact on the performance of the application server, as the JAVA virtual machine must maintain a list of files to delete when leaving, and which consumes memory. It is even more problematic on servers that are not restarted very often.  And if at the end the application server is not normally off, these files would not be removed.

    On the other hand it seems that the thumbnail generator is not necessary that the image source file ends with the extension of the right.

    Now we use the provided source image directly, it's a ".tmp" instead of a file (for example) the file ".gif".

    It will be useful,

  • How to create a preview image of a widget?

    Thanks for reading... Some widgets show a preview of the image when you click (select) in the library panel, as the Meta widget + Lite (http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/meta-43-lite). How to do this? I cann't find anything on how to create a preview of the image in the MuCow Documentation (http://adobe-muse.github.io/MuCowDocs/).

    preview.JPG

    It's a little tricky, but if you follow these steps, you should be ok, first download and install 7zip as you need. Then proceed as follows:

    1 export your file as a mulib (muse library file) mucow. If you don't know how to do read this pastebin.

    2. Once exported outside, you must delete the folder you just made.

    3. right click on the exported file mulib on your hard drive and choose from the pop-up menu: 7-zip/Open Archive.

    4A inside, you should see 3 files as follows (in this case I named my mucow 'demo'):

    • Manifest.Xml
    • Demo.Muse
    • Demo.PNG

    You will notice that you have a PNG file in your archives, BUT it is empty. So what you need to do is to leave it open 7 - zip and create your PNG in photoshop or any program you use. Be sure to name the exact name in the archive (in my case demo.png)... a good size is 210 x 98 px. Save on your PNG and drag it over than the PNG in your archives and it will be saved. You can then close 7 - zip.

    You can then import your mulib file in the library of muse Panel and you should see that your widget has now that PNG you created as a thumbnail image.

    -hope this helps!

  • How to create a CAPTCHA image?

    I have a grown content management system that allows users to integrate their own source code. A customer integrated FORM, are the target of spammers, so they wanted me to add CAPTCHA functionality.  It was a little difficult because it displays inside a TEXTAREA field, but I'm 99% of the way.

    What made me blocked is the captcha image.  I can create the image, write it on the server with a dedicated name and it can display well inside their shape. However, the initial call to create the captcha image leave a broken image area.  I don't want any box, I want to just write the image to a file and move.

    Here's how I make this initial call:

    cfimage action = "captcha" fontsize = "24" font = "Times New Roman" width = "250" height = "50".

    "text =" "#rndString #" difficulty = "low" destination = "#fileDest #" overwrite = "yes".

    Any ideas?


    RLS

    I think you have met a serious shortcoming in the implementation of how CF implements the captcha image generation.  Here are the problems with the implementation as I see it:

    * There should be three - each - other "destinations" for the image:

    -file system (what you want)

    -screen (it does a little now, except really leadenly)

    -variable (as - apparently - every other picture operation with CFIMAGE)

    * The CAPTCHA functionality is exposed via a tag only: there is no functional equivalent.

    I don't think that there is something that is not obvious here, and could not be expected in a v1.0 of this implementation.  Well.

    I had a mess around with your situation and on a whim, put CFSILENT tags around the CFIMAGE call.  Prevent from enjoying the IMG tag unsolicited down to the browser, while it is still written the file in the file system.  It's what you want, Yes?

  • Cannot create a disk image. Error: 0x80780002a and 0x8007045d.

    I just got a wd passport ultra. When I try to make a disk image of my hard drive I get the error messages

    ox80780002a and ox8007045d. What can I do? do I need to format the external drive.

    Thank you very much for your help

    If the new HARD drive is formatted using 4 096 bytes per sector that poses problem.

    Microsoft has not started taking charge of system images on hard drives with 4096 bytes per sector up to what Windows 8.

    To see what you have, follow these steps:

    Click on the round starting and in the type box:

    order

    Click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator to open a command prompt window and enter the following command to the drive letter of your new (I use D drive so you put in your drive letter):

    fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo d:

    Watch them bytes per value of industry and whether it is 4096 that is the problem.  Windows 7 supports only 512 bytes per sector as in this example from my D drive which contains 512 bytes per sector (this will not work):

    In this example the Bytes per sector is 512 MB then it will work well for the Image of the system.

    What is the Bytes per sector on your new HARD drive?

    If the bytes per sector on your new drive is of 4096 you will reformat to 512 bps, use a different HARD drive or a program that takes in charge 4096 bps third.
