  • Cannot create a new startup with my data disc

    Hi guys, here's the problem: when I try to create a new startup with my data disc, I can't boot from this drive.

    The startup progress bar takes forever and then I see a white circle with a line through it. ("Prohibited" / "Ghostbusters" sign.)

    In verbose mode, it hangs on "break pci: SDXC ' for a while, then it clears the screen and watch the Circle + line with 'still waiting on the root device' at the bottom left.

    I can't boot into single user mode. Quite simply, there is the same thing as verbose mode. Even in safe mode. So I have few options for debugging. I did a SMC reset, no change. Is there anything else I should try?

    Additional information:

    -I'm trying to start off a new SSD that I bought, currently in a USB 3.0 enclosure external. I know that all is well with the speaker because I started off of him several times in the past. I know that all is well with the reader, because I tried to do the same process with another drive and it doesn't work the same way.

    -J' cloned my current boot drive to the new drive with SuperDuper!, Carbon Copy Cloner and I also did a clean install of El Capitan using recovery mode. The new facility has worked well until I migrated my old data.

    - So there must be something in my data which are striated throughout this process. I don't know what it is maybe or how to track him down.

    Any thoughts are appreciated!

    Have you tried the PRAM reset? Restart while pressing control + command + P + R until you hear the boot chime at least twice.

  • Tecra M1: Unable to create a data disc

    Hello

    I'm developing a package to deploy Toshiba Disc Creator on all our Tecra M1 and M2 computers laptops, which represents about 200 units. The package I created works fine on all Tecra M2, but the Tecra M1, users get a problem BOUNCING. When they burn a data disc, they get the following about 50% of the time error: "failed to create a data disc. The current process stops. »

    Even if they get this message, the creation of cd is always successful most of the time, but about 10% of the time, he is corrupt. There is no way to know if it actually worked or failed until you try to copy data to newly create CD. It also happens that doing an exact copy of a CD will give a similar error message.

    I tried to find information about this software on the internet, but I am at a loss at this point, because no document seems to exist and event our Toshiba Rep doesn't know what to do. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm willing to try.

    Thanks in advance.

    To me, this looks like a simple and common error during the burning process.
    I put t know what burning software you use but I recommend burn media with Nero. It of simply and heavy application performance it s my favorite
    You must also use a burning program. Don t mix different programs such as sonic for example.

    Additional test different types of media in my practical knowledge not all media (CD or DVD) is taken in charge and, sometimes, you can get errors in engraving.

  • Equium A200-1V0: DVD-RAM UJ-850 s does not read data discs

    My laptop seems to have decided to stop reading data disks.
    However, there is no problem with the audio CD, but when I insert a data disc such as the software considers the disk is empty and try to format the drive.
    I searched internet day for solutions and tried without success to the following:

    Removed the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.
    Bought DriverWhiz (waste of money!)
    Tried to access disc command prompt that generated the message "incorrect function".
    Tried to use the enforcement function and access an exe file that I know is on the disk, but it comes up saying I need to format the drive
    Uninstall service packs
    I even thought it might be something to do with the MagicVirtual drive I had installed so I uninstalled completely which
    I uninstalled real player

    I'm about 3 minutes to destroy my laptop so any help would be appreciated.

  • What are the data size of the buffer on PX1394E - 3 50

    Hello

    I bought this drive a few days ago and I'm a little confused on the
    the size of the data buffer. The box indicates 16 MB, Toshiba web page says 8 MB, etc...

    Nobody knows, what are the data buffer size of this model?
    Is there a SW or the request to meet with whom?

    BTW, great car, fast, noise, however, extremely when it comes to finding large files.

    Thank you
    Francisco

    Hello

    I have lurked around a bit and it seems that your drive has buffer of 16 MB that is absolutely definitely sure. To check the details of your computer, you can use the tool "Sisoft Sandra". You can download [url href = http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir=&location=downandbuy&langx=en&a=] here [/ URL].

    After download, just install it and you will get all information about your computer, as the size of the buffer of your external hard drive.

  • If the upgrade to windows 7, it will be able to read data discs my xp?

    If the upgrade to windows 7, it will be able to read data discs my xp? l have data recorded on cd and on Word, and then transferred to cd/disc, to save. My XP PC can read the disc on reinstalling Microsoft Works, which has the word inside program. Windows 7 will be able to read these discs of data?

    Hi steve,.

    Just to make sure I understand, you have the Word documents on them with backup discs and wondering if they will be recognised by Windows 7.
    If this is the case, then you should not have to worry. Windows 7 will read the disc properly. However, as with XP, you will need to install the correct program that you would use to open files.
    In other words, if they are Word documents, then you will need to have MS Word installed or installed works for viewing.
    Hope this helps and let me know if you need more information.

  • What ever the data that we are loading in HFM, how to check if the data are correct or not?

    Hello!

    This is SANDEEP, I loaded data using FDM in HFM. How to check if the data is correct or not, what ever the data I was responsible in HFM.

    Please tell me how to recover the data and what format, clearly can you me the data verification process step by step.

    It would be useful for me...

    Thanks in advance...

    Kind regards

    SANDEEP

    Hi Sandeep,

    I think the best way is to extract data from HFM for the same POV that you have loaded FDM and check if it is the same.

    If you then use HFM 11.1.2.x version

    1. login to the application and go to the menu Administration / extract / data.

    2. set the POV that you have loaded the data, then unzip it. You can open the file unzipped in a notebook

    3. you can compare the file with the data file generated by FDMEE under Outbox folder.

    But what would you give all the data corresponding to the POV that you set. So please ensure that you have the correct POV, defined according to the export FDMEE.

    Thank you

  • All the members (but 1) are removed from the entity dimension in planning and deployed to essbase. -What are the data deleted in essbase so? / The data can be restored by restoring the entity dimension?

    All the members (but 1) are removed from the entity dimension in planning and deployed to essbase.

    -What are the data deleted in essbase so?

    The data can be restored by restoring the entity dimension? EPMA the entity dimension is still in tact.

    It is unclear what exectly arrived, but looks like a change was made in the dimension entity planning (not EPMA) and then deployed (successfully).

    In essbase, we see that the entity dimension has only one member left for the appropriate plan types, as in the planning.

    If you remove members and then push that yes the essbase data is deleted, if you need back then you will need to go back to your restore process.

    See you soon

  • Using Linked clones with a data disc?

    We expect on the creation of our BASE image with a 50 GB C:\ drive.  For the moment, we will not use Thinapp, so the few apps we need for our people call center will be installed on the base image. We also plan to use the profile unit of Liquidware Labs and will use linked Clones.  My question is, do I have to create a data disc (D:\) to install Apps or just expand the C:\ drive?

    If the user data (documents, computers of desktop, thems and local profiles) will store locally and needed to preserve for the future and use the redirection of the user's data and set separate drive for this.

    In the case where the user data is Vagabond (stored and shared in the Center), then do not use that feature, simply create a bigger drive C.

  • What the best data type for storing jpeg/gif images?

    Don't be stupid.

    If you do not want to use BLOBs then, or you can use the ordimage.

    It uses ordsys.ordsource for the storage of the image data type. This is a user defined Type of data in advance and has a property called LocalData that stores the actual image. And what is its data type? BLOB OBJECT.
