  • Services Windows problems after cloning a HARD drive

    Hello

    I recently cloned my HARD for one SSD drive, using the SSD as my boot device. Since then, I was able to successfully access Windows services.

    For example, I've tried to expand a partition on my SSD and went to computer management. I got a message saying that it

    "cannot open log events on the computer service.

    I click OK and the computer management opens.

    Clicking on device management, I get a long enough message that appears that says

    'Disk management could not open Virtual Disk Service (VDS) [name of the hard drive]. This can occur if the remote computer does not support VDS, or if a connection cannot be established because it has been blocked by a firewall of Windows. For more information see on diagnose and correct this problem, see Troubleshooting Disk Management by using disk management. »

    I click OK and the message disappears.

    If I click on Services and Applications in the left pane I get WMI control and Services in the central pane.

    I double-click on Services, scroll down to virtual disk, double-click anywhere on the line, I get

    "Windows could not open the service of virtual disk for playback on the local computer. Error 1726 the remote procedure call failed. »

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening? What have I done? Why am I not able to access disk management?

    EEK! What have I done?

    Thanks for the help, but I thought about it.

    I had turned off by mistake in my BIOS PATA, and causing the problem.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones do you know what are my problems with my camera and how to solve?

    Mine is Curve 3 G running OS 6. I have 3 years now.

    Never installed any themes. I removed all languages, except for English and mandarin. Obtained third-party applications, which are whatsapp and screen grabber. I also youtube, twitter and yahoo messenger but I think that they are developed by rim. I uninstalled the default games from the early days, owner of the device and never install others. I also removed the maps and the world of blackberry. In any case, they are useless.

    I don't store a lot of pictures and the ones I did on my ram external 2gigs. I have not all media files. Just the default values.

    I join 1 group and it's not active. I don't have multiple conversations. I end conversations as soon as they are finished. BBM contacts grow about 1-2 monthly and phone books from 3 to 5 every week. I am a seller.

    I delete e-mails from the unit as soon as I finished reading the. Never navigation because the browser kills each front page loaded completely, making me unable to use youtube.

    I remember regular cleaning to run hourly.

    I do battery pull everyday because I'm tired of waiting for the clock or the gel to disappear, which could take more than half an hour if I let them which of course eventually crashing.

    Never have data backup because the device freezes the second I connect it to the PC with desktop blackberry on.

    So the question is do you know what are my problems and how to solve? Because I did not.

    Well... We must memory cleaner is enabled, this feature is known to cause many problems!

  • Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

    Original title: startup problem

    I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

    Hi DougEisenmann,

    Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

    If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

  • Satellite M70-164: what is a default temperature of the HARD drive?

    I wonder if someone can tell me what are the default temperatures of the hard drieve of a satellite M70-164

    Hello

    It is not easy to say. It is based on the use of the HARD drive.
    If the turns HARD disk and OS write or read on/from the HARD drive, so the temperature increases, but if you use the laptop only for internet, so the temperature of the HARD drive remains on the low level.

    Thank you!

    Hi Filabaca:

    If you want to use a hard drive external Mac and PC options are:

    1. format the drive in Mac as exFat

    2. format the drive to NTFS on a Windows PC and use a program like Paragon NTFS for Mac. https://www.Paragon-Software.com/home/NTFS-Mac/

    Paragon NTFS for Mac allows you to use a disc formatted in NTFS by a Windows PC.

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

    BEFORE YOU ORDER DISKS... Two important points to note...

    1. you will need a USB DVD drive to use with the recovery discs.

    2. the hard disk that you purchased should be the same storage capacity or larger than the original drive came with the laptop.

    The original specifications drive was 160 GB.

    To my knowledge, there is no limitation of the capacity of the HARD disk since the SATA controller is used and the SATA controller should support over 400GB.

  • Cloning the hard drive on desktop PC Inspiron 620

    New Member, first post here, great resource.

    I work a friend with his desktop computer Dell Inspiron 620; 3.5 years.  The hard drive begins to run out, but computer still works fine right now.

    I ordered a recovery and support on the way via Dell out of warranty support in case the disc falls in catastrophic failure before we get to this.  But rather than use this recovery media, reload the operating system, drivers, all applications, customization, etc.  I'm thinking of 'cloning' of the current hard drive while the original hard drive is still operational.

    I have never cloned a drive before, but I understand that this would be the procedure. I buy a new identical replacement hard drive (found a 3.5 Sata 1 TB size) and also buy an external USB enclosure for the new disc, connect the new drive via a USB cable, start the cloning software, and then install the disc cloned when cloning is done in the computer?

    No disadvantage of 'cloning' vs reload the operating system?  Any recommendations of any free cloning software, I consider using?   Cloning especially appealed to me because it is a highly customized small business computer.  Get this computer to its current state the long way is certainly feasible, but I want to do the simplest possible.

    There is no need to buy an external enclosure, just install the drive to be cloned as secondary, all you need is a SATA data cable, there is a spare SATA power connector already within the chassis, for an additional HD.

    The simplest method I prefer is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

    You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2016.

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

    Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

    I also found the free version of AOMEI of Backupper to be excellent and have used it with great success with Windows 8.1 and 10

    http://www.backup-utility.com/free-backup-software.html

    Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.

    First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

    Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

    Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

    Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

    Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

    As we already mentioned, it will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    Bev.
