  Thank you Jay...

  computer technology has suggested that it might be the motherboard after testing the HARD drive and it does absolutely no good and whatever he does still nothing worked.

  Then... I bought a HP 27 tilt want to replace the Omni 27.

  Problem is that the desire has no DVD disc drive...

  so... I took one of the Omni and put it in a Slim Data kit USB and that fixed that,

• ESXi 4.1 is almost complete used hard drive... but...

  ESXi 4.1 is almost complete used hard drive... but... in fact, it is not true.

  On my server ESXi, I see that I have only 200 M freestyle, when I opened the virtual machines that use this disk, it shows me that 53 G isn't free, 200 m.

  Can someone show me dirrection to solve this problem.

  Hello

  Regardless of the type of disc you use once in VMware ESX allocates space on the disk it will never resume. It will happen as two snacks of thin disc as thick disk. Only difference is that the thin disk allocation is on request and for thick it is pre configured.

  Now, when we see inside the guest, he will see some quantity using comments he will never see beyond that, because of virtualization. But the esx host is aware of what his size allocated to this disc.

  Please see KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1022242 for more information on the types of disk in VMware.

• With split screen hard drive failure?

  My tutor has replaced 3 hard drives in 2 years, and since it mainly uses the computer for teaching, she thinks it might be because she shares his screen all the time for classes. It would be a shame for her to stop using the split screen because it's a very effective educational tool.
  If you have questions about the present never came?

• HELP, (start black screen, floppy drive 0 error of research)

  at the start, it's a black screen saying "diskette drive 0 seek failure", with the option to press F1 to continue.  I don't have a floppy drive on my pc and have no idea how that happen suddenly.

  I did and went everywhere for a solution without success.  I know it's an easy fix, but for the life of me, I don't know how.  As it is, I need to be on the pc press F1, whenever I get updates, etc.

  Please help me find the correct solution and I will be eternally grateful.  Thank you in advance.

  Your computer has a floppy inside drive?  If so, the drive has failed and should be replaced.  If not, or if you aren't sure what a floppy drive is :-) then you must go in your computer's BIOS Setup and disable the floppy drive option.  How do you and when you do this varies check so a computer at another manual support site or your computer for details online.

• Replace a hard drive in dv6 but is not completed the installation phase

  I replaced my hard drive with a disks recommended by an expert from HP in this forum, and he seemed fine. After starting with my #1 recovery and loading of each disk when you are prompted, I got the final guest/message: "preparation of the recovery is complete. Remove the system recovery media. Once the computer is restarted, the installation of recovery process will begin... Support on continue restart the computer. "When I hit the"Continue"button, the screen went black as if it has been restarted. But instead, a black screen with the HP logo in the centre appeared, with the text: "Press ESC for Boot Menu" in white letters in the lower left corner. Waited about half an hour, and then you press the ESC key, but it changed nothing. Same screen HP. And that's all - nothing else has happened. I left it on all night, thinking perhaps that it takes time to get there, but in the morning, the same screen was there and my phone was hot as if in use. So I turned it off right there. What would not, and that I should try now?

  Turns out that I don't need to download the Microsoft Windows software and then struggle to find the right drivers, thank God. My recovery discs works perfectly after all.

  Having read tons and tons of forum posts about this problem, I finally found a solution that worked really - posted by another user, GoodTimes81 (thanks!). This solution is pasted below (with numbers and an additional note added by me):

  (1) put the recovery disk #1 in and

  (2) when the Recovery Manager screen loads, you will get a few options, but the one you want is the command prompt (which appears after you select "Run a computer check.")

  (3) in the command prompt, I typed bootrec.exe/fixmbr, you press on enter and waited it says the operation completed successfully.

  (4) I typed bootrec/fixboot and then you press on enter and again waited until he said the operation has completed successfully.

  (5) after having done that I left the command line, restarted my computer and waited until my recovery disk #1 loaded up again.

  (6) then, I chose the recovery system to the Recovery Manager screen and went through the process of insertion of disks 1 to 4.  When the 4th disc is complete, it says remove the recovery disc and press on continue, which I did, then it restarts, except that this time it restarted and actually started the installation and facilities it is supposed to do and has completed the recovery process.
  _________

  The other user said these steps solved the problem for her, and they could work for you. Finally, they worked for me, except after step 5, the recovery disk #1 would not load again. I received an error message (the black screen, white letters) mentioning a problem of location startup (sorry, that I did not write down exactly what he says). I pressed the button power to restart, but got the same error message.

  So I pressed the button to power again but this time, you press F11 repeatedly until I had a menu of options. The option to boot was F9, then I pressed F9 and selected "CD/DVD player" (which I had already done elsewhere earlier in the process, but maybe it had reset after entering the command request?) and then restarted again.

  This time, it worked, and I was back in step 6 above. Load the discs one at a time (note: I have 7 discs instead of the 4 mentioned by another user), and after that the disc was done and I got the prompt to "Press continued to restart", it restarted and he proceeded to load all the software, drivers, etc as it is supposed to. Yay!

• Black screen - mouse - will not start any other

  HI -.

  Windows 7. Tries to start, but ends up with the black screen of death and also shows a mobile cursor.
  Try the drive of product recovery but ends up with the same screen... Try to watch a disc external hard docking station and can not read disk 'Local' - but can see the information of the HARD drive.

  How can I get the product recovery disc to recharge on the hard drive?
  My guess is that the restore disc is writing the information on the hard drive - but cannot access it.

  Does anyone think this might be OK?

  Hello Oscar

  What model of laptop do you have?
  You created the recovery DVDs?
  Installation of recovery is completed correctly?
  You now have this problem at first start after the installation of recovery?
  You can boot OS in safe mode?
  > How can I get the product recovery disc to recharge on the hard drive?
  As much as I know there no mechanism to force the recovery disc to do this.

  All you can do is set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  I can't say for sure, but somehow, I think that your HARD drive is troublemaker.

• Hard drive failure immanent - have spare hard drive to install, but you need to know how

  Reading "HDD error" message says the hard drive is about to give up and I need to save - great - I have a spare hard drive that I can install - now the question is how can I transfer my copy of vista64 from a hard disk on my machine to another drive on the same machine.
  Yes, I saved all the documents vital to an external hard drive.

  Hard drive manufacturers normally provide their software websites of cloning to what you want to do...

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Satellite Pro A300 - removed HARD drive recovery partition, but have backup ghost

  Hello

  I deleted the partition HDDrecovery by chance but I have all the files in the saved partition.

  Is it possible to recreate the partition?

  > Is it possible to recreate the partition?
  I know it s not possible to create it again without use of the Toshiba Recovery disk AFAIK this partitions contains also some brands that are necessary at the start of this partition.

  > Or create a files recovery disk? -
  I have the program of recovery-disc-creator if possible continue to use?
  Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool usually needs the HARD drive partition to create the recovery disk. But I doubt it will be functions if you've already deleted this partition.
  But nevertheless, you can see it.
  Create the partition (Vista disk management), copy these files on this partition and check if the Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool would find it.

  If not, I don t think you could create this partition of HARD drive

  In this case, you will need to purchase a Toshiba Recovery disk

• External hard drive is recognized but cannot see the content

  My external hard drive PX1393E - 2 32 is identified as removable media, if I connect it with my laptop. But there is no possibility of access. Size is shown as '0' and you can't see the content.

  I work with Windows Vista Home Premium SP 1. I tried to use the hard drive with a second computer (also Vista): same problem. If I connect the hard drive with a laptop that works with XP, I can see and use all my data.

  Drivers and the operating system are the last level.

  Does anyone know a solution?

  (I ask forgiveness because of my bad English.)

  Hello

  You can see the size of the HARD disk in disk management?

  Normally the external HARD drive should also work on Vista if it works properly on your XP computer.
  You use different cables? Maybe you should try other on Vista laptop.

  In addition, I would recommend formatting the HARD drive again. It's maybe something s wrong with the structure of the partition.

• External hard drive not recognized, but...

  I can't find a similar problem anywhere online.

  Drive external DRIVE is Toshiba Stor.E partner (green), 1 TB.

  About 2 years ago.

  One day last week, I realized, it was not mounted in the usual place (on my Time Capsule), so I connected it to my Mac Mini, but no difference.

  Screenshots show Mac specs, more the HARD drive in the disk and repair utility failed drive.

  It is partitioned into two 500 GB, but I can't really remember why I did it.

  For more than a year it is connected to the back of my time Capsule, so it is not included in the automatic backups. From time to time I move to my Mac Mini for a day or two and include it in the back up - but now that I enter Time Machine can't find a backup of it so I was probably passing on this topic in the wrong way? Also had a problem during the summer, this year, where my TC got indigestion and decided to throw all that, which means that I had to start from scratch, backups but it was not biggy time.

  I bought a new cable (best reviews on Amazon), in which case it was a problem, but no difference. Have not yet tried a Y-cable but will if someone recommends.

  I'm sure that people will need more information, ask so far.

  Also displayed in the Mac Mini to the Web site, but this has farrrr less followers then thought that it would be wise by the bash too.

  Thanks in advance
