    What is a RAID?  You could have 6 300 GB drives, RAID requires treatment, and basically, 1 disc is overload, so it seems you are using RAID 5 (if you have 6 disks).  In this case, that is right you have 1.4 flying over, which is what ESX sees.

  • Due to corrupt files, I had to format my computer HARD drive which had OEM Windows Vista Home Premium 32, now I couldn't find it, I want the same real OS, what do I do?

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite p300 version made. Is it possible for me to download and install a trial version of Vista 32 and enter the serial number given at the back of my laptop to save it? I don't want to buy another OS, while I already paid for it. Comments, tips, suggestions, and help is appreciated! Thank you.

    Hello

    Why did did you format it. That's what you had to do to reinstall Vista.

    https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true

    If the mentioned in this link recovery Partition is destroyed, you will need to contact Toshiba and see if they have Vista recovery discs available.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    They provide, for a fee.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    As you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system on the new HD.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  • What is the problem: "Blue screen" means in Windows Vista Home Premium?

    I had a problem before in 2009 that says my computer has an unscheduled stop called 'blue screen '. It happened when I had the lid closed and when I close it, the computer can host until the cover is in place, and that's when the error occurred. It didn't happen, but I would like to know if it will happen. It happened twice before and I have the data on it. (Also, no solution ever since.) Anyone know what this means and how to prevent it from happening again? Thank you!

How can this be corrected?

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

    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.

  • What is the hard drive more large size taken supported by the HP Pavilion a6650f?

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion a6650f that I got from a friend a few years ago.

    I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive to a SATA 1 TB or 2 TB drive. The vehicle currently has a 80 GB IDE drive. I know it is originally with a 500 GB SATA drive (which was later to be defective, so he gave it to me after his warranty missed).  The original drive left after that (of course) missed coverage.

    He currently runs Ubuntu Linux 12.04 EAP 32-bit.

    This PC would be able to use the 2 TB drive Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 7 200 RPM?

    http://microcenter.com/product/386364/Barracuda_2TB_7, 200_SATA_6Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive_ST2000DM...

    The computer should be fine with SATAII disks up to 2 TB. Greater than 2 to cause problems for you. In addition, you may need to update the drivers for the readers of Format 'Advance '.
