• Is why VMWare Workstation v8.0, failure to launch a hard 52 GB file, stored on a Western Digital 4 TB big, MyBookLiveDuo external hard drive, model 2713D?

  The error message indicates that "the file is too large!  However, the application runs perfectly, if the hard same52 GB file, is stored on the disk D: from the host machine!  (The host operating system is MS Windows 7 Enterprise).  Thank you!

  The double disks have been formatted by Western Digital, (However, the format is NOT specified by WD). I guess that the format is NTFS.

  Not sure why you assume that NTFS because it is not a Microsoft device.  NTFS is a file system developed by Microsoft and as such WDC perhaps owner to have a license to distribute a device formatted in NTFS and that would probably increase the cost of the device.  Anyway, WDC uses a free Open Source Linux OS to control the "Personal Cloud Storage" device and there format ext4.

  Please note that the application works perfectly fine, if the same hard 52 GB file, is stored on the disk D: from the host machine!

  I will not use a VHD of monolithic, when running on the network and use a split disc.  I would also consider using a prealloue disc split if it was reasonable in size compared to the size of its content.  It will be much better if you are using Snapshots and or repair disk if necessary, and when run through a network expect to have a disk problem.  Besides that if she doesn't have the "Personal Cloud Storage" device at this size and be a monolithic virtual hard drive then you really don't have much choice only to convert a disk of split!

  Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

• I replaced the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. Help, please!

  Original title: Lost my win7 pro distrib

  Hello!

  I have a Lenovo T440s, I replace the hard drive and can't find my distro dvd disc. On the back side are those:

  WINDOWS 7 PRO OA FOR LENOVO
  * key series *.
  * numbers of many * X 1881991

  Where can I find the version of windows exactly for my laptop?

  Hello

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

  Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

  I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

  Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

  I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

  I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

  The catalog would have another name or extension?

  I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

  Help!

  HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

  And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

• Refusal of the WORKSTATION to access external hard drive window

  Hello

  I can't access an external hard drive (WD My Book Home Edition). The problem happened when I disconnected my external drive from my Win XP Pro computer and plugged into another Win XP Home computer that had another WD external drive attached to it. Both my drive ext as wel as the other disk ext became inaccessible. I disconnected my 2nd computer ext drive and connected to computer Win XP pro that I always use. However even though my computer recognizes the drive I have noticed that the icon WD changed to a regular folder icon and whenever I try to open it, it says drive H is inaccessible. I also noticed that the folder icon was the same as the 2nd ext drive connected to the computer Win XP Home. I tried the microsoft bulletin:
  "This article describes how to capture a file or folder to which you are denied.
  I décliqués the "simplified" sharing and set permissions on a shared folder. "" After that it gives information about the ownership of the folder as follows:
  To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps: right - click the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
  1. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
  2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
  3. In the name list, click on your user name , or click on administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects.
  4. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
     You are not allowed to read the contents of the directory folder name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

     All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

     Note folder name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

  5. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

  I can not follow these directions as I do not have a visible security tab. I was able to save things to my ext drive but cannot access it from the my computer window. I am therefore able to see the contents of the disc in the 'SAVE AS' window. Given that I'm not very good at the computer stuff can someone give me step by step instructions on how to access my drive hard Ext. window "WORKSTATION". Thank you in advance.

• Cannot find external hard drives - Windows XP Media Center

  I just got a new external HDD two days ago in the case where my old drive never fails. I have connected both to my laptop and copy all my old files from the old drive to the new. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Stop' under 'Remove hardware safely', and both readers suddenly stopped being recognized by my computer. When I plug in, they light up and run, but their records are not displayed in my computer. I don't get any error message (or any kind of message), but they always show upward under Device Manager. I tried to move the USB cables, restarted my computer, update device drivers, do a system restore and run a virus scan (some files on my drive C: disappeared recently, however, the scanner found nothing). I also tried to attach external hard drives to other computers, but they are still not recognized. Please help - I have files that cannot be replaced and the new cost of drive hard $100, and I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement without warranty or invoice.

  Hard drives not recognized in all other computers as well? There lies the problem.

  Try to connect to some other computers (XP, Vista or 7) and see if the problem repeats.

  If so, your disks are dead (because no computers detect them).

  Download and run the utility to diagnoses of the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard disk to check for disk errors.

• Replace hard drive bios can't find it

  I have a hp Clubhouse while a windows 64-bit 10. I ran a test that everything going except the short DST also a message says shadow copy service does not. so I try to replace the hard drive, he wants to find the new hard drive and it good because I try on another computer.

  The hard disk that come with the computer is a wd 500 I am try to replace with seagate 250 GB

  They have the same connection, and it connects well I don't see why it's not accept it. It also has 10 on windows

  Thanks for any help

  You said "the hard drive that come with the computer is a wd 500 I am try to replace with seagate 250 GB". "  You need to replace the hard drive with the same capacity (500 GB) or more.  Be careful not to exceed 2 TB.  If you have never made your ONE TIME set of recovery DVD + R media, then do it now.

  PS <>is it unwise to jump around all the different Subforums of HP seeking a response.  In addition, when asked a simple question, "what is the product number', it is a label on the back of the PRINTER, you just wander to post on another forum.  You test our determination, or you're worse?

  Hi Cidnee.Elise,

  1. don't you get an error message when tried to open the. IDX file?
  2. don't you confirm if the size of each file is correct or valid?
  3. you have any Microsoft Media Player is not installed on the computer?

  Windows Media Player does not support this file type. If you have installed any player media Microsoft not on the computer, then use it to launch the. IDX file type and check if he plays well.

  We recommend that you change the default program that Windows XP uses to open this type of file.
