• Mounting USB dynamic disk under Windows 7

  Hello, I have a computer that is running windows 7, 32 bit.

  I have an older hard drive of a computer windows XP I want to retrieve some files of.

  The old hard drive is a dynamic disk in windows xp.

  I have connected the dynamic disk to my computer windows 7 via a USB cable.

  Problem: Windows 7 won't let me up the dynamic disk unless I convert it to a basic disk? If I convert it to a basic disk I will lose you all data.

  Question?  How can I mount the dynamic drive USB on a windows 7 without losing any data on the dynamic disk? Do I need special software?

• Error "the dynamic disks are not supported by this operating system." what configuration Raid 0 (striped) readers.

  I have my operating system installed on a single disc, and I bought two additional discs I want to implement in a Raid 0 configuration. I'm going to administrative tools > computer management > disk management > right-click on a single disc and select the new striped volume > add the second drive and fill the dialog box until I get to the part where the formatting is supposed to start. Then I am stopped by an error that says "the dynamic disks are not supported on this operating system."

  Who says that hard drives, I bought are not compatible with vista interlacing or it says that vista can not the striped disks. What is the problem?

  You need to configure raid 0 before installation of win, you cannot "convert" s simple drive to the part of a matrix of blocks.

  In general this is not a good idea to use software raid, too a overload the CPU. If you want to raid, invest in a dedicated hardware raid card, which for a decent cost probably more than your motherboard

• How to install the dynamic disk volume and base set

  I have 500 GB of HARD drive.

  How can I convert a 1 and 2 in basic and volume 3 in Dynamics.

  Please tell me something that is free of cost, and I don't want to use a software to do this.

  Hi Lynda,

  I'll be happy to help you with the problem you have with the computer.

  To create a dynamic disk volume, you must convert basic dynamic first of all disks. How to convert the basic dynamic disk?

  1. connect you as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.

  2. right click on my computer > manage > storage > disk management.

  3. in the lower pane, right-click the basic disk you want to convert, and then click on convert to dynamic disk. You must right-click the gray area that contains the title of the disk on the left side of the details pane.

  Warning: After you convert a disk from a dynamic disk basic, local access to the dynamic disk is limited to editions of Windows Windows 2000 at the latest. In addition, after you convert a disk from basic to dynamic disk, the dynamic volumes cannot be changed to partitions. You must first delete all dynamic volumes on the disk and then convert the dynamic disk to Basic.

  Thank you.

• By aligning the dynamic disks

  Anyone know if this version offers the possibility of an alignment of the dynamic disks on Windows 2003?

  / SB

  Well, the dynamic disks are not preserved during the function clone (unlike LVM) volume and partition alignment is possible only in the volume based on cloning, so unfortunately, the answer is 'no '.

  Kind regards

• VMware tools changes the Windows disk time-out value

  Does anyone know if the VMware tools installation modifies the windows disk timeout value registry key

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/disc/TimeoutValue should be set to 3 c (60 seconds)

  as it appears my VM have this, but my medical examinations only and is by default 10 dry?

  Yes the VMware Tools changes the value to 60 seconds. Apparently, it was introduced in 3.0.2. I have it has not noticed only a few months before.

• VMWare backup for the large disks (over 2 TB)?

  Hi all

  I have an environment that have a large disks (> 2 to) Guest VM with a requirement to perform the backup.

  As I understand it, VDP (Data Protection) has a limit of disk backup less than 2 TB. Any backup solution for this?

  Help, please!

  Limiting reference: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vmware-data-protection-administration-guide-555.pdf

  Thank you

  James

  Hi, James, you should switch to vSphere 5.5 first, because it introduced management of disks in virtual machine (vmdk) more than 2 TB. Once upgraded, you will be able to use the latest version of Veeam Backup and replication (v7 R2) which fully supports vSphere 5.5.

  See you soon.

• OpenManage for VMWare ESXi has no possibility of tasks of virtual disk

  OMSA v 7.1 and 7.2 for Windows (and earlier versions) allow the user to perform many tasks on virtual disks, including reconfiguring - expand a RAID array with a new drive.

  This is not true for managing open for VMWare ESXi - although you can monitor the status of the RAID and disks with the browser of the OMSA interface type, you cannot perform tasks - can not even make a high beam Flash.

  It is a huge problem, because the PERC controllers (H700 and H800, for example) don't allow you to develop virtual using hard drives not Dell disks when you try this during startup in the bios.  (These controllers only allows you to create new virtual disks using drives not Dell).

  This test was conducted using the latest firmware (12.10.4 - 0001 A10) and drivers for the H700 and H800 and multi-server r610 ESXi 5.1.

  Other people with VMWare have been affected by the present?  The only solution is to have two player networks connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the table using OMSA for Windows.

  I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

  Yes.  It came through a discussion in the Dell | Servers | Discussion of the RAID community.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20263442.aspx

  There is a CD bootable linux called OMSA Live that you download from PowerEdge (linux OS) systems management.

  This OMSA PERC H700 and H800 control and allows you to do everything.  When you reconfigure the RAID and the PERC card starts the reconstruction, although it seems risky, you can restart under VMware and the reconstruction of the RAID continues on.  And you can analyze with OMSA for VMware.

• cannot reformat the drive which has the OS on it

  I have full vista on my comp. with several hard drives. Hard disks are dynamic disks, but I need to change back to the source, so I can use both vista and xp. I know I need to reformat them to convert back, but when I try, it tells me that I can't reformat the disk to the operating system on it. I tried with my installation disk and disk management. What should I do? I really need to use the two OS because of some programs that I use. Cannot afford to upgrade compatible vista on all programs! Help!

  Hello

  Follow the suggestions and see if it helps.

  a.Back to the top of all volumes on the disk you want to convert from dynamic to the base.

  b.Open (Local) computer management.

  c.In the console tree, click computer (Local) management, click storage, and then click Disk Management.

  d.Right - click on each volume on the dynamic disk you want to convert to basic and then click on Delete Volume for each volume on the disk.

  e all volumes on the disk have been deleted, right-click the disk and then click on convert to basic disk.

• VMware Workstation failed to mount the physical disk 10TB

  VMware workstation or any other product vmware does support more than 2 TB of physical disks?

  The official version said that WS allows only virtual up to 8 TB of disk.

  According to my own tests, it only limits the size of the VMDK for 'New - VM' Assistant.
  Once you have a greater vmdk - just tried a vmdk 10TB - WS won't complain about the size.
  I don't expect that WS will prevent the physical disks to use inside a virtual machine that is already configured.
  So in your case I think you started WS with a normal user account.
  Try to start as administrator WS - maybe even using the administrator account.
  I think that then it will work.
  Unfortunately, the error messages produced by vmware.exe are not really accurate-, so there is no way to know if you really have a bad super block.
  To test if this is really the problem and not just an error message - poor try to mount the drive directly.
  Please post the vmdk - want to know if there is something unusual about 5.5 TB in the disk.

• Where the command vmware-mount?

• Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I get this error message:

  VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

  I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

  My OS:
  Tumbleweed OpenSUSE x 64

  Thanks in advance

  On more creative, my home and root file systems were not extended to my full disk space :^)
