Virtual Disk Manager "the device is not ready".

I don't know about the format from outside, possibly MAC OS EXTENDED. He was not ejected a Mac and will not mount on an operating system MAC or PC (Windows 7 Professional) using Firewire (800 to 800 and 800 to 400), eSATA and USB 2.0. When I use disk management, disk will appear as not initialized and next to the "disk 33", there is a red arrow pointing down. Whenever I open the Disk Manager, the window to initialize the disk appears, but once I chose a style of partition and press OK, the virtual disk manager pops up saying "the device is not ready". I also tried to wipe the drive using CMD, (disc of DiskPart/list / select disk 33/clean), CMD said the drive was clean, but when I went to disk management, without change.

I'm looking for a way to clean the drive so that it can be reformatted and reused.

  • Error "the device is not ready" to the Windows command prompt when you access a key USB from VMware

    The host and guest are running Win 7.  Version of VMware is 11.1.3.

    The guest computer, Windows Explorer displays the USB and I can open its files, etc.

    However, when I use the Windows command prompt to access the USB of the client, I get error "the device is not ready".

    In order to get the guest system memory image, the application must be run from the USB as an administrator.

    Help, please!  Thank you!!

    I already found the answer.  Win 7 had not installed USB 3.0 controllers.  I downloaded several executables from Intel and Lenovo sites, but they does not work because the system only has not meet the specifications, etc..  Then I discovered that a USB 2.0 stick had any problems.  So, I use 2.0 for this virtual machine.  Thank you!

  • Error when trying to create a collection of Solr (java.io.IOException: the device is not ready)

    Hello, everyone.

    I am trying to create a .cfm document which delete and then re-create a specific collection of Solr, index and optimize it.

    The removal works perfectly.

    Unfortunately, creation it doesn't, at all.  I get the following message:

    Cannot create the collection publicsearch - an error occurred during the creation of the collection: java.io.IOException: the device is not ready.

    This is a server of Windows 7 under Apache and CFServer 9.0.1 (the version before Verity was cut).  I get no more detail than an error message.  Any idea what could be the cause?  I googled this and I see a lot of similar questions, but not quite what I have going on.

    Thank you

    ^_^

    So much worse... someone didn't bother to inform the proponent that the access to the collection AND the path to the directory that contains the collection for are different on this other server.

    Fixed.

  • Could not load the virtual disk manager

    I am operating Windows 7 SP1. At one point, I lost the ability to use the virtual disk manager. I've scoured the web and many forums to find answers and none worked. I tried to repair windows, run sfc/scannow, etc stopping before you reinstall windows, which some people have suggested that I have many software loaded and am not sure that this will not happen again once I loaded the software again.

    It is a "backdoor" way to force launch disk management? My need is to change disks on some of the hardware devices, such as DVD players and card readers.

    Would appreciate any advice or suggestions... Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to connect to the virtual disk Service, Virtual Disk Manager Interface not registered

    I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on this laptop as a new installation about six months ago.  Since then, I don't think I ever ran diskmgmt.  Today, I joined a new external hard drive usb, it reported the drivers installed fine, but then the installation bombed at the beginning.  I went to verity, what had happened and has run diskmgmt.msc (as an administrator), but she came back with the message "Unable to connect to the virtual disk Service" and also a small OK msgbox appeared with the title "Virtual Disk Manager" and the "Interface not registered" message

    I disconnected the USB hard drive and tried again diskmgmt, but no change.

    I restarted in safe mode, tried diskmgmt, but no change.

    I ran sfc/scannow, but it has reported that it found no errors.

    I checked that the virtual disk service has been configured as a textbook in services.msc, and event viewer showed that when I ran diskmgmt he started VDS and then stopped VDS.

    I tried again, but still not like before.

    Is there some dll I can't regsrv32?

  • The operation did not complete because the disk management console view is not updated.

    Disk title management error: Windows 7 original by adding a drive letter
    Well, I don't know why this is happening, but if I try to add a disk to my windows system, it will not automatically add a drive letter, but it will add a drive letter to my USB and USB external drives without problem. It's just when I plug it in sata he's going all wobbly. I see the HARD internal disk in disk as a disk, but windows disk management Refuses anyway shape to add a drive letter, even with diskpart automount enabled. This is the error I get when I try:

    "The operation failed to complete because the disk management console view is not updated. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the disk management console, then restart disk management or restart the computer. »

    Absolutely nothing works. I tried Diskpart, acronis, AOMEI, EausUS, chkdsk, sfc/scannow, Microsoft fixit. Nothing works to get the drive Manager to add a drive letter to an internal HARD disk. Like I said, sticks and USB drives are no problem. I looked all over Google and I have not seen one solution to this problem short of a total erase and start again, and at this point, I'm not be done with everything I installed and might have to reinstall.

    I have other systems that do not have this problem. Just this one windows 7 install x 64. Can anyone shed some light on why this happens and how to fix it or if there is even a fix for it.

    Thank you

    Just to follow and finish this, the old MAIN drive has had some problems and was

    continues to worsen, it ends up by crashed.  scannow revealed some Windows system

    Files were corrupted and could not be repaired.  After the crash, I used the blank hard disc 500 gig

    and did a restore of the system since the disks created with the purchase and restored the system to

    "DAY 1".   Yes all the data and installed programs are missing, but I reinstalled my software.

    Adding external or internal disks worked without any problem now.

    I created a Windows 7/64 system repair disc.

    I created an Image of the system.

    I have a backup plan.

    I do the scheduled backup.

  • The virtual disk is either corrupt or not a format supported.

    We have a 2008 R2 SP1 VM Datacenter we cannot snapshot.

    A manual snapshot of in the Client vSphere indicates the following in the tasks and events:

    The virtual disk is either corrupt or not a format supported.

    Our NetBackup software is automatic snapshots for VM backups and generates these three errors in the tasks and events:

    Cannot run a snapshot operation

    Operation timed out

    A general error occurred: VMX protocol error.

    The virtual machine has two virtual disks:

    [vmds-standard: (1) default] outhostname/ourhostname - 000001.vmdk

    [vmds-standard: (1) default] outhostname/outhostname_1 - 000001.vmdk

    Virtual disk files seem to be the usual file names. Instead, they resemble snapshot files or something similar.

    I don't know what is happening. Can anyone help?

    The file names are correct, since there is an active snapshot on the virtual computer. I found a few entries in the log file that we/you can see:

    08:01:25.543 Mar 23: vmx | DICT scsi0:2.deviceType = scsi-disk hard
    08:01:25.543 Mar 23: vmx | DICT scsi0:3.deviceType = scsi-disk hard

    There are some entries of old/orphaned for already deleted virtual disks! However, it should ask the question.

    21:13:06.212 25 March: vmx | In SUMMARY: SnapshotBranch failed: changes, followed by target file already exists (5).

    That's what I think is related to the question. For me, it looks like a problem once with block change tracking, which may have left orphans. What I would do, is first of all to delete all the .ctk files in the folder of the virtual machine on the data store (they will be recreated, only the next incremental/differential backup will take more time). If this is not enough, you can try to disable - at least temporarily - CBT for the virtual machine or remove the virtual machine to inventory, delete the .ctk files and then add it to the inventory...

    Hello

    What is the number and the model of the computer?

    You have the computer floppy drive?

    Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

    Follow the steps:

    Method 1:

    Remove all external devices connected to the computer such as printers, scanners and external USB hard drive and check if the problem persists.

    Method 2:

    Check the BIOS setting and also, I suggest you to update the BIOS. To update the BIOS, contact the manufacturer or the manufacturer of the access Web site.

    Note: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    So I'm working on a LT desire that has been upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10 recently and it is this message on the login screen "the device is not connected to the computer. Insert the authentication device. We can't identify what it means or what needs to be done to clear the screen. The user States that the fingerprints of impression of BIO sensor doesn't seem to work either. I looked in the Device Manager, and I see a Synaptics PS sensors (WBF) listed here and is properly installed. I even updated the driver of sensor ep on the support site of the desire, and we still see on the login screen.

    Y at - it no information or help to clear this message?

    We also note that the number on the keypad lock seems to be disabled during startup of windows 10 upwards. Before on windows 8.1 has been activated. Is there any setting to 10 to keep the active number lock.

    The user says if 10 can be made to work well, then we can go back to 7 or 8.

    Thank you for your time.

    Seems to have been resolved in re - install the software HP Simple pass then go and reconfigure the settings. Message no longer appears on 10. User LT installed with 7 however. Best decision.

  • How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

    Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

    How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

    I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

    Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

    Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

    There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
    http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

    The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.
