• VMware Workstation 10 bug: DVD SATA drive does not start if we disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS

  Hello

  I use VMware Workstation 10, and I found a bug:

  With the all-new virtual machine (for example with Windows 8 x 64), if I choose a hard SATA and SATA DVD drive in VMware and I have to disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS, Windows 8 (or Windows 7) ISO does not start.

  If I come back in the BIOS to enable the floppy drive once again, my ISO boot.

  If I use the DVD IDE drive in VMware options, no problem if I disable the floppy drive.

  With "EFI mode", no bugs.

  Please, can you solve this problem? Thank you

  Hi freebeing,

  Thank you for reporting this issue.  We have reproduced it is internal and work on it.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  See you soon,.

• What is the best way to move the node for virtual device to an IDE SCSI hard drive?

  I used PowerCLI on vSphere 5.0 5.5.

  I'm deploying VMDK that were created with a switch in Ghost from Symantec, which by default is the HDD to IDE interface.  How can I change the HD of IDE, SCSI using PowerCLI?

  We also seek to regenerate the VMDK with the correct setting in Ghost, but maybe it's not feasible.

  I looked at the post below, which seems close, but don't tell me how to change the Type as the disk ID number.

  Sort of put the virtual device node / drive SCSI ID?

  When I look at the vmdk on the host for the virtual machine, I can see that the ddb.adapterType field is set to "ide" and KB 1016192 - conversion of an IDE virtual disk to a virtual SCSI disk

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016192

  I need to have the value of "free", but I can't manually change the vmdk file.

  In addition, the hard drive has the VM operating system already installed on it, so I don't want to just remove it.

  Another related problem is that I can not put the type of SCSi LSI Logic SAS controller LSI Logic parallel (Windows VMs does not start if it has the value LSI Logic SAS). I just get an error "inconsistent backup specified for device 0.

  Appreciate any ideas.

  I thought that I would come back and update this post.  I got it works by changing a setting when I create the VMDK.

  I changed the way I created the VMDK via the Symantec ghost32.exe (version 11.5?) application by adding the following switch:

  -vmdkAdapter = free

  Ghost32-clone, mode = restoration, src = 'SRC %', dst = "% DEST" - vmdkAdapter free course =

  It worked for my Windows 2008 VMDK, don't know what he'll do for any other type.

  At the end of the day, I have never able to edit the VMX of PowerCLI file, although I got close enough.

  Regarding PowerCLI, I think I have corrupted files on the ESXi server and could never get around it. The steps were roughly as follows

  1. the Copy-DatastoreItem cmdlet to copy the file vm.vmx on the desktop of the local computer

  "2 use Get-Content to read file and change ddb.adapterType ="ide"with ddb.adapterType. =" free ".

  3. copy a ConvertTo-LinuxLineEnding cmdlet from the internet and remove CR/LF characters to the BYTE level; because nothing else has worked.  I still don't think it worked 100%.

  4 copy-DatastoreItem to copy the vmx file to the directory of the virtual machine.

  The vmx file has the correct setting and looks ok, but I think something is broken here, because when I use the VI Client to look at the data store, there are only 2 files in the directory. I don't know which more.

  5 remove-hard drive

  6 New-hard drive - vm $vmObj - diskpath "[datastoreName] vm/vm.vmdk", at this point, I get "the path of the specified disc is inaccessible or does not exist.  It is probably because I have damaged the structure of files on the data store.

  When I delete the virtual computer in the VI Client, I can remove it with success, but I have to manually delete the directory on the data store using skip
  Control data store.

• Newly converted Virtual Machine Windows 2003 contains no hard drive

  I'm looking on the advice of this problem.

  I used vConverter 4.0 to transform the four physical servers to virtual machines.  Two of my attempts ended in failure.  One was a standard Server Windows 2000 running as a web server. He just cut to 3% or 4%. Let this old trash server at the moment.

  The second is a Windows 2003 Web Edition Server.  The P2V process actually all the way!   But I can't start. I discovered that the physical server C drive was not there?  When you change the properties I see only one hard drive (it would have taken to 10 GB and 20 GB) it seemed to me that if the configuration in the setup of P2V has been misinterpreted?...

  Initially, I made it clear that the 51 GB drive C and 74 GB - D drive should become a 10 (only use 4.8) and a 20 GB (only 11.5 GB used).  Instead, I found myself with a huge 72GO disk in the virtual machine

  In this fourth attempt, trying now not to tamper with disk sizes and rely solely on provisioning.  And there is room for the 51 + 74 GB of disks on the ESXi host expected they exploit the full potential.

  But it really intrigues me I get a different result that I opted for in the configuration of the P2V.

  No explanation?

  The server in question is from the disks IDE and a legacy mainboard with an old Pentium 4 processor - not really a server.  On the other hand I have converted two physical successfully servers, just until I came across this problem. It was 12 to 14 years old Compaq DL380 G1 servers with SCSI disks.

  I think part of the problem is that you cannot change the type of IDE SCSI controller (it's in step 3). You can try the following steps, but if it was me I would just start the conversion, resizing disks you want and ensure are using a SCSI controller

• Question about the recovery of HARD drive partition

  Hello

  I have 2 partitions: C: and d:
  I wanted to save video data on D: and was surprised to find some hdd files and folders reverie about it
  Yet, I have a small partition hidden and thought that waas of hard drive recovery.
  What do you think of this? Can I delete these files on D:?
  When restart us the computer after pressed F8, is associated with the files to D: or hidden partition recovery option.

  Thanks in advance

  Boulbar

  Hello

  I'll try to provide answers.
  > I wanted to record video data on D: and was surprised to find some hdd files and folders reverie about it.
  The same situation is on all laptops come with HARD drive recovery image. Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery. It is recommended to create recovery DVDs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. When the recovery DVD is created, you can delete these files and use of recovery DVDs for the operating system installation.
  Otherwise the partitions are large enough, and you should leave this file here. Just define it as hidden and you won't.
  > Again, I have a small partition hidden and thought that hard drive recovery waas on that.
  This small partition has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image. Recovery image Toshiba is large enough and cannot be saved on small partition.
  > When restart us computer after pressing F8, is associated with the files to D: or hidden partition recovery option.
  They are related to the folder HDDRecovery and recovery stored image. When you delete drive recovery option HARD is no longer available.

• Satellite L305 - recovery after HARD drive installation

  The hard drive on my L305 Satellite is out and had to replace it. Ordered the Toshiba recovery disks and have spent the last two hours Exchange back and forth every minute or so when you are prompted. Is this normal or should I try something different?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello

  I m confused about your ad normally, you can install the recovery image of Toshiba Recovery on each HARD disk drive. Just boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be installed automatically.

  What exactly happens if you start from the recovery disk?

• Equium P300-16 t: I lose the option of using Recovery DVD HARD drive recovery?

  Hi sorry to post again but I need some help please.

  I posted on September 11, as well, but could someone please tell me if I lose the ability to restore my computer laptop back to factory default, when you press F8, if I do the recovery with the Toshiba Software DVD.

  As I said before I can get into safe mode but you cannot start my Vista.

  I can't use recovery discs as my laptop came with any disks at all?

  So the only option seems to be is it restore to the factory default.

  I am writing again, as I need some help please...

  Abbi

  Hi abbi

  I can help you
  You know that your recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings.
  This means that the whole HARD disk should be formatted and everything should be reinstalled.
  The recovery disk also creates the HARD drive recovery partition that allows to recover the laptop from the HARD drive.

  You said you didn t get the recovery disks?
  Well buddy, I think you didn't read the manual you would find an info that the recovery disk must be created using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator software that is preinstalled on your laptop.

• Satellite 2450-101: can I run recovery external HARD drive or USB key using

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite 2450-101, on which the DVD player seems to have failed (could be engine, laser; uncertain).

  I want to perform a full restore of the product, using both disks that came with the computer.
  Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.

  Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?

  Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. See you soon.

  > Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.
  > Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?
  Hmmm I doubt that this can be possible because it is not possible to boot from a USB flash or external HARD disk drive.

  What you could do is to copy the folder the original Microsoft CD i386 on the HARD drive and then you can run setup.exe from this folder.
  It would begin installing the XP installation program.

  But Toshiba Recovery disk contains only image files and there is no i386 folder and therefore, you need the CD of XP Ms.

• Recovery of HARD drive taking half of my hard drive space?

  My computer has two separate drives. C: drive with 74.3 GB of space and E: drive that was 73.2 GB of space.

  I did not burn the recovery disk but who is on this drive e. when I burn it will free up space on this drive and I'll have the 140 GB that I thought that I get when I bought the laptop?

  Or will I have save other things on there if I m download, if so? I put t know how to do this.

  Hello!

  If you burn the disc of recovery with the Toshiba recovery disc creator, the folder will not be deleted and you have no free room yet.

  If you burned the recovery disk, you can remove the hard drive, but when you restore a windows you need the recovery disc. If you n t remove the image on the HARD drive, you can also use it to recover.

  You can download t the creator of recovery disk or something else. It s all preinstalled on your laptop and if you have any other questions in the user manual are lots of information about recovery.

  Good bye

• Recovery and hard drive failure

  System information:

  HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx

  HARD drive: Seagate series ATA Disc Drive (7200 RPM) 320

  OS: Windows 7

  After diagnosis that my hard drive has failed (the original supplied with the notebook), I bought a WD Scorpio 250 GB (5400 RPM) SATA to replace. I ran a diagnostic system on the HP splash screen and it found the new HDD very well. Because my old hard drive contained all the partitioned system recovery, I can't get it back using the player because it no longer works.

  I was hoping to do a recovery of the system with the DVD, I did when I got the computer on the new drive hard, but during the process it has detected that the drive was much smaller than the original and would not allow me to proceed. I don't know what I can do now.

  Do I need another HARD drive with the same requirements as that of the restoration of the system with the DVD, I made? Or am I just bad luck?

  Hello

  It is a problem with the recovery discs do not like a drive smaller than the original.

  However, it is an easy work around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the retail version accurate, you would need.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop when requested and when installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

• HP Recovery, causing hard drive problem

  OK... Earlier I messed up my hard drive on my laptop. So I got the HP recovery discs, used... I thought that it fixed the problem... but now I look in the properties of my C: / drive & it says that my hard drive is only 25GB. Which is weird, because he used to say that he was of 250 GB. So now, he continues to tell me that I'm running out of space on my drive... Anyone has an idea as to why it is now only show my 25 GB hard drive instead of the real 250 GB is it? Can I completely format my hard drive and then use the recovery discs to fix? IM thinking that maybe that could be the problem... I don't know how to format, either... I have a HP Pavilion with Vista dv6653cl, any help is appreciated... because I was so excited I thought I fixed the drive then see this problem... knew it was too good to be true...
  
  Can I get a new hard drive, & use the recovery on a new hard drive disk? Or that won't work?
  
  I can't do a lot with just 25 GB of space. So, if I can't get the hard drive to its original 250 GB, then other what choice have I?

  Finally, I have fixed everything. Thank you very much for your help!

• HP Pavilion dv3-4310eo: recovery after HARD drive failure

  Hard drive crashed. Replaced with a new drive that is the same size as the old one (500 GB). Start the computer with the recovery DVD. When I open the Recovery Manager all the dining options are grayed out?

  Why is this? What should I do?

  

  I followed this guide, but the options are still grayed out. Recovery disk is not working without landing was on the backup partition (I restored it once before without problem).

  No way I pay HP for a new set of recovery discs...

  My solution is to download an iso of clean windows 7 that triggers very well with my key

  Guess I won't again have this problem and I do not have as an asset deal with all HP software crap that accompanies the last of them.

• Pravilion dv7 series replaced after the recovery disk hard drive failure

  I tried to use the portion of my drive recovery hard when my laptop Pavilion dv7-4173 US could not operate.  After trying the hard drive recovery part several times I got an error message saying that the bootmgr is missing. I tried using the recovery discs I got to the store, I bought the computer before taking it home, and they failed. They worked up to 32% and then stopped.  I took the laptop and recovery (6 discs) disks to the tech Department of another retail store. After several days, I learned the recovery disc where no good/damaged. When I contacted the store bought told me that I had to bring in the laptop and recovery disks. They replaced the hard drive, saying: that was the problem, but do not partition. They decided to classified until the system OS of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit., but did not try the recovery disks. Can I use the recovery disk, they made me, if are good restore the laptop back to factory new?  I know he will place the operating system Windows 7 Home back on the computer, but I want that all return provided with computer programs. I'll be able to upgrade the Professional operating system? I have the disc of Windows 7 Professional.  If my restore disk will not work, can I use the recovery disc, only 2 discs instead of 6, I can buy from HP and then move on to professional?

  Thank you.  Computer to factory fresh.  Just update software and then go to Windows 7 Professional
