• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Time Machine backup to two separate hard drives

  I want to have two full backups separately on two different hard drives, and I want to Time Machine for updating each drive separately so I always complete backup two drives.  How is that possible?

  Depending on what version of operating system you use, go to System Preferences/Time Machine and click on add or remove backup disks. After you add the first diskette, click again and add a second drive. The ability to add 2 or more drives has been implemented in Mountain Lion.

• JDK 6 What are the suggested entry points to package such a request?

  Hi all, no need to mention that I love this forum and the help I received from its members, thanks to you all.

  The question is, what are entry points necessary in JDK 6 for an IDE like net beans or INtellij Idea use it without problem.

  I already packed beans net successfully, but only the application, is - can package the application and the JDK 6 at the same time, so you don't need to download the JDK 6 on all computers?

  IntelliJ Idea was packed, but is very slow to open and time do not know why.

  Thanks for everyone to contribution for an answer...

  MrBean344

  You can capture togather JDK and NetBeans or separately.

  The second way gives you a possibility to update the JDE without recapture NetBeans.

  You must uncomment OptionalAppLinks = Plugins\ *. * (. is better than *.exe) in captured NetBeans project.

  After the construction of NetBeans, you can create the 'Plugins' folder and put there most recent captured JDK (remember to change the paths in NetBeans parameters).

• What is the best way to make a second copy of a series of photos on a hard drive after that I imported and made changes?

  What is the best way to replace the second copies of photos created during import with revised versions? Export, seems to be an option, but is there a method named? I use Lightroom CC/6

  I don't think you understand the concept of Lightroom. The settings are stored in the catalog. They are not applied to the images. The catalog is the key. If the images in the main location are damaged or lost, then you can copy the backup images at that location and any adjustments that have been made will be implemented. The main thing you want to be sure to do is have a backup of your catalog, as well as a backup of your images. You can export copies of your images as JPEG, PSD or TIF images, and these copies will have all the adjustments included.

• The thought of Garland two external hard drive backup

  At the present time, due to the size of my photo database (catalogue), I work on an external drive of the company and do not use the hard drive of my computer for storage. I think, for a backup, I should probably pipe another external drive that I have and use it as a backup.

  Looking for input on this before you go out and buy a disc, has this logic of common sense?

  If you work in this way, I would like to hear about it.

  Not seen with USB, but is fairly common with FireWire 400 and 800. In fact, it is the only way to connect several FireWire drives the latest range of MacBook Pro.

• What are the changes that the installation of BizTalk has on the SQL instance?

  Original title: BizTalk.

  Hello.

  I want to install BizTalk.
  BizTalk and SQL are different servers.
  I would like to know what are the changes that the installation of BizTalk on the SQL instance.
  Can anyone help?
  Thkz

  Hello

  I know it's late to answer this question, just in case someone else look through this issue.

  BizTalk installation does nothing to SQL Server, but make BizTalk Configuration. When configure us BizTalk on any SQL Server (same or different), it creates the required databases and SQL Server works on this server.

  Here is a series of articles on installing and configuring BizTalk Server: http://sandroaspbiztalkblog.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/biztalk-2013-installation-and-configuration-install-and-configure-biztalk-server-2013-part-9/

• I just bought an Acer Chromebook OS CB3-111 a few days ago. What are the common uses two USB

  I just bought an Acer Chromebook OS CB3-111 less than a week ago. What are the common uses of the two USB ports and the port of SD memory card?  Thank you for your comments!

  I have a bunch of books (epub and pdf) on my SD card right now, I also have music and I expect that I could put videos on it as well. I don't expect to be able to develop applications or to store their internal data on it.

• What are the causes of the log of user account on missing cursor in Windows XP? I have two trays of office that they have this same problem. If you restart them the cursor returns?

  What are the causes of the log of user account on missing cursor in Windows XP? I have two trays of office that they have this same problem. If you restart them the cursor returns?

  Hi DaddyJeff,

  1. don't you make changes before the show?
  2. are you referring to the cursor in the area of user password on the login screen of Windows?
  3. when the cursor goes missing, the mouse pointer works on screen?

  It is difficult to say what is causing this problem. If the mouse pointer freezes or stops working, then we recommend you to reinstall the mouse. To do this, try the following steps:
  a. sign in to Windows.
  b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
  c. in the list of objects, expand mice and other pointing devices.
  d. right click on the sub element and click on uninstall.
  e. unplug the mouse and plug it back.
  f. the Device Manager, select an item in the list, click the Action menu, click scan for hardware changes.
  g. check if the mouse is detected, if so, then install it.

  See mouse USB which is connected to a USB 2.0 hub is not detected by Windows XP

  
  Note: if the problem persists, restore the computer to an earlier time. See How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

• What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

  We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

  On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

  What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

  I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

  The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

  Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

  Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

• Two questions: 1. What are the procedures to superimpose an image on top of the other? 2. how resize you, make adjustments, adjust transparency overlay image etc? I use a MAC with Photoshop Lightroom.

  Two questions: 1. What are the procedures to superimpose an image on top of the other? 2. how resize you, make adjustments, adjust transparency overlay image etc? I use a MAC with Photoshop Lightroom.

  HI Timp,

  Sorry, but that kind of image manipulation is not for the purpose of Lightroom and more oriented toward Photoshop and retouching of composition of similar images.

  Please check the links to know the image overlay in Photoshop below:

• SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g? What are the major changes in these two?

  Hi Experts,
  I'd be curious to know about Soa Suite 11 g. SOA Suite 10 g SOA Suite 11 g, BPEL changes? What are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Is now OSB belongs to Soa Suite 11 g? It would be useful for us to know what are the major changes and updates or changes came to 11g.
  
  Please share this valuable information.
  
  Is it that no matter what version is still running Oracle, which has not yet officially launched with oracle?

  Hello

  I think that the most important changes are:
  1. move on Weblogic Server.
  2. creation of a unified period. Which means that everything plugs into it. SOA, BPM, OSB, B2B...

  Additional features like the NDA: Composites within network-based event. SDO: Service Data Objects to transfer information and from db, adf (if I'm not mistaken)
  Tighter integration with the ADF.

  A few extensions to BPEL. Such as the events of Signal etc. Don't know if it's standard or specific to Oracle extension.

  But you get the idea. A lot of changes, a lot of things improved and move functionality.

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two "listener: Dynamic & static record.

  Hello
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of dynamic registration of the listener?
  and
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of the static recording of the listener?
  
  Thank you
  Uday

  Some facilities (for example, restart with the Data Guard Broker) will not work unless you appropriate defne registered staticly service. Other facilities (failover of such service) do not work unless you use a dynamically registered service.
  Decide what you want to implement and configure registration accordingly. There is no "advantages and disadvantages".
