What is an IO error? (As in the error e/s from reading or writing to the disk.)

This is the message - what does that mean? I am trying to open a Quark 7 file. This isn't a problem of Quark.

This means that he's trying to read or write on your drive and it is impossible for some unknown reason.  If I received this error message, I guess that some corruption is present in the file system.  If this is the case, you must perform a check disk (chkdsk) operation with the / r or option "fix."

"How to perform the disk error checking in Windows XP"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

Note that the operation real verification will take place at the next reboot of the system, is done before Windows loading completely, may be interrupted and may take more than a few hours (according to the size of the disk and the amount and the type of corruption)-so do this when you won't need your machine for awhile.  Note that, although rare, this operation has the potential in the trash completely a hard drive, so a backup of important files, first is prudent.

HTH,

  • Files of the FVO, how are the disk file stored?

    The OVF format must be a file format independent of platform for the delivery of virtual machines between virtualization systems different.

    I guess that there is a standard how do has for example the VMX file out of this and to understand how read, but what of the disk to ESXi file? From what I saw there could be a with the OVF *.vmdk file, but how this is handled on another platform of virtualization? (Since I assume also that the flat.vmdk file isn't a total area for the sector of raw disk file?)

    Take a look at the specification at http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0243_1.1.0.pdf to see if that answers your question.

    5.2 virtual disc formats
    OVF does not require any specific disk format to use, but to conform to this specification of the format of disc must be given by a URI that identifies a unused specification on how to interpret the format of disc. The specification should not be readable by machine, but it must be static and unique for that URI can be used as key by reading an OVF package software to determine only the format of the disc. The specification must provide sufficient information so that a person skilled in the art can correctly interpret the format of disk for reading and writing data to disk. It is recommended that these URIS are resolvable.

    There are also a lot of other links to specific documentation for the OVF format to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Virtualization_Format

  • No history except the 2 update, I installed last night. What is a registry error?.

    When I go to windows update it tells me that no update was already installed. The update history page is white, except for the 2 updates, I installed last night. Update said earlier I have all the updates that are installed and there is no new update. I went to the windows update log in windows system 32 file and it lists all of my updates to the current, but will not display the update on the page history. I have hundreds of updates in the win sys. 32 journal update.

  • What is neg 30 "error on the optical fiber

    Hi all

    at our office, we have telco tec came and it has tested the demarc to our device fiber and reported this

    30 "error neg, he told us to check our equipment.

    My question is what is neg 30 "error. He told us that there is extremely low loss.

    When we do the ping of our device on teclo circuit, we see packet loss.

    Thank you

    Mahesh

    You don't have not provided us any information about the network or hardware you use or where this neg. 30 error is reported.

    My guess is the technician tested at the level of light at your equipment and measured - 30dBmv.  Most of the optical transceivers, GBIC/SFP, have a minimum level of optical input of-17 and - 29dBmv, according to the type (SX, LX, ZX, WDM).  So,-30dB receive level would cause errors on your link.

    Check the routing of the fiber to see if there are sharp turns or the kinks.  Additionally, make sure that the connectors are clean.

    Tell us what you find.

  • What does "a parity error was detected on \Device\ide\idePort0" mean and how can I fix?

    I have a Pentium 4, XP SP3, 2 HDs installed, and I don't think I have SCSI but in my registry, it shows the HDs and two CD - RW and DVD drives listed under SCSI and there is no topic such as IDE, Atapi or AT (the area I'm talking about in the registry is: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\) so I don't know what is happening in this area...? Anyway, everything else refers to above devices IDE or Atapi etc..

    As well as the above parity error, I noticed a little more that I will add here:

    "The driver has detected an error on \Device\Harddisk0\D controller" (this is an ALL NEW HD)

    "The device, \Device\Harddisk1\D, has a bad block" (it's second HD giving the same error msg, the last HD failed and this is used)

    "The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block" (this is my CD - RW drive, which seems to work very well, it's the DVD player that is not working properly)

    "While validating this \Device\Serial0 was really a serial port, a fifo was detected. The fifo will be used. »

    All of these errors are coming together for the most part. Please help as I just replaced a hard drive failing during the summer, now it is looking like another is a failure, but I want to know if something else in my computer can cause drives to fail, or causing errors in some way, or any other information anyone can give me to help before you start the process of replacing a HD failure (again!)

    Thank you... Denise

    Hi groovydee,

    Method 1

    I suggest you reinstall the controller and chipset drivers by contacting the manufacturer of the computer, check to see if it helps.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you need to check disk scan on the hard drive to scan and difficulty of bad sectors on the disk.

  • Windows Vista: windows could not start error. is suspended from the "Microsoft Corporation" loading bar then black screen BIOS not acpi compliant

    After you have installed the driver for the zune hd, I was asked to restart my computer. After the reboot, start froze on a white screen. I've seen this before and it is usually because of some connected usb components. so I manually powered down the Tower, disconnected the cable from zune and restarted. This time a screen saying that windows could not start, "launch Startup Repair tool" was recommended. Select this habit makes the startup hang to the progress bar from Microsoft corporation, then to a completely white screen. Although strangely, once only a blue error screen appears which says that the BIOS is not acpi compatible. I can't restart with F8 to go into safe mode, "windows error recovery" still appears. "Start windows normally"produces the same results as the tool to restart launch system. " I have a drive to upgrade to windows 7 and a windows XP upgrade disk. the disc of windows 7 hangs at "starting windows" and the XP disc gives a blue screen error: stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0c 0000034, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000)

    I think I have a BIOS problem, but I don't know how I could continue dealing with the repair. I have no success update the bios from usb flash. Any idea is appreciated.
    Update: managed to start with F8, choose to boot in safe mode and loading hangs after "load: \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys"***.

    Hello

    1. What is the exact error message when Windows Vista does not start?

    2. you have the disk Installation of Windows Vista operating system?

    I suggest you change the mode of RAMA to IDE in the BIOS. You can contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

    Note: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    In addition, perform a check disk in Windows Recovery Mode.

    (a) Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD".

    (c) select a language, an hour and the currencyand a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    (d) click on check drive for errors.

    (e) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the drive of your Windows installation and click Next

    (f) to the System Recovery Options dialog box, click on check Drive for errors.

    (g) use the switch/r to run the disk check.

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

     

    It will be useful.
