• An external drive using DVD seems impossible with NB100 Win XP

  Hallo,

  I work with my NB100 half a year.
  Now, I want to connect an external CD/DVD drive to I.

  The first hard drive I bought, was bad luck. Often I had to reboot my system several times until it was found, but it worked. Now, I have given this drive and tried another.
  Often a held message ' berspannung a USB - Hub ", (not now how to translate correct - but this means that the power required is for many).

  So I got a USB Hub with it's own power suply. Now it works sometimes, but as imidiately is calld a "unknown device", and so it does not work until I have restart the system. With a little luck it works for a few minutes until it "disappears" again.

  I'm unhappy, or is there a mistake, that I have now?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  The notebooks USB ports provide a standard power supply which is 500mA.
  It is a standard, and usually all USB external devices it should support as well
  But these needs of external devices, more power and it could happen sometimes that a device does not work correctly

  I have no idea of what device you are using, but I recommend using the one recommended and supported by Toshiba
  Usually, you should be able to buy this ODD to a Toshiba authorized service partner in your country

  However it s advisable to change some settings in the Manager of devices that are associated with the USB ports.
  You should go to-> hub properties Device Manager USB root-> (last tab) power management and needs to check if this option is not selected.

• iPad support external drive Pro

  Hey!

  I want to improve my office as soon as possible and I watched the keynote yesterday when the new iPad Pro was released. I thought about buying a new MacBook, but when I watched the keynote I was wondering if it would be possible to buy an iPad Pro instead of a MacBook, since all applications, I also ran on iOS.

  My main question is tho, if it would be possible to connect an external hard drive for the iPad Pro and still access my data on it as I do now with my Mac Mini.

  Is there someone who could help me?

  Thanks in advance

  No, iOS is not compatible with the help of a central external device as a file storage system.  All content of the app are actually related to the application itself and stored on the device in a protected memory aid assigned to the app.  In addition, while there are counterparts to your OS X programs, you will need to purchase the versions iOS separately in the form of programs coded for OS X will not work on an iOS device.

  I love my iPad 2 Air and Pro, but they are not at all 100% true, for my MacBook Pro replacements. On the one hand, my iPad and iPhone is saved on my Mac via iTunes.  There are only two ways to back up an iOS - WiFi to iCloud, or wifi or USB device to iTunes on a computer (I use both for redundancy).  Without computer and iTunes, you are limited to only a backup to iCloud, while a backup encrypted iTunes has more content (all APA passwords, for example, are NOT part of iCloud or not encrypted iTunes backup).

• ASM will support Extern and up at the same time?

  I'm confused.  If we have a group of redundant San who maintain the ASM disk group and our type is set to Extern, we put our confidence in snapshots, replication, and so on in the hands of the SAN.

  Can you have Extern and high?  You can have ASM diskgroup that lies on the SAN but too high?

  If you can not, then if you raised, and these starts on the SAN, what's the difference?  Are not often required database on a San with a server on the front-end server?

  ASM diskgroup redundancy and redundancy SAN are not the same and work completely different. You cannot use extern ASM and redundancy high at the same time.

  A San doesn't know anything about Oracle database files and redundancy is usually accomplished in RAID. ASM is not RAID and does not duplicate complete records. ASM data redundancy is based on failure of disk groups and file extensions. ASM knows by the way of the Oracle database files and automatically adjusts the deletion of data, which does not have a SAN. ASM has also the advantage of the storage size can be adjusted dynamically when the storage is online, without having to rebuild your storage devices. Rebuild or expand a SAN solution based RAID usually means to reset the storage.

  Beware of the features of snapshot and SAN replication because they cannot provide full backup or redundancy if you lose the full storage.

• My windows will not recognize my CD/DVD drive

  My computer crashed recently and since then windows will not recognize my CD/DVD drive. My removable disk (e :)) is there, but I was told that windows cannot access the disk.) Also when I try to eject a developed error warning.

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

• Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Hello

  Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

  Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

  Hope it makes sense.

  Can anyone throw any light on what is happening on Earth on?

  Hello

  There are various reasons why this error message:
  In most cases this error because the laptop is trying to boot from a HARD drive or flash drive that is not configured correctly. Maybe the drive is not bootable or not compatible.

  It would also be possible that some sectors on the HARD disk, HARD drive failures are corrupt or BIOS is damaged. NTLDR error messages may also appear if the master boot record is damaged.

  In your case I recommend that you format the first HARD drive before booting from the hard drive CD7DVD external using Win XP CD.

  By the way: you must add SATA driver to CD Win XP using nLite.
  The SATA driver is placed on the European driver Toshiba page in the Intel Storage Manager

• Drive external DRIVE will not mount after resizing in Windows

  Hi all

  I got a 1 TB external drive that I used for a while about 10 Windows and OSX (El Capitan). I had two partitions Configuration for use on every platform without any problems.

  Then, I needed extra space on the Windows partition, so I think that, if I remember correctly, that I've resized using the disk management tool in Windows. I reduced the OSX volume and increased the size of the Windows volume. I can probably hear you all shout now.

  Surprise, my volume OSX will now not mount when I run in El Capitan. It does not show in disk utility, and the only way to 'see' it is using diskutil:

• How can I get the utility auditor of system files (SFC) in Windows XP to search for the source files on a CD in a CD/DVD EXTERNAL drive instead of the CD/DVD drive internal Windows?

  I use a Dell Dimension E310 PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition.  The CD/DVD drive has stopped recognizing CD long ago.  (He still recognizes DVD but not CD).  I use an external drive to CD/DVD of Asus.  I keep getting messages that Windows need to replace versions unrecognized some Windows file and asks me to insert my source CD into the CD/DVD drive.  I checked the MS Knowledge Base and got instructions on how to use the utility (SFC) System File Checker to replace the unrecognized Windows files.  I started the process and inserted the source of CD files (recovery CD provided by Dell with the PC when I bought it) in the drive of external CD/DVD, but the SFC would not recognize it it.  He just kept asking me to insert the CD of source files in the CD/DVD drive.  So I have to find a way to get the SFC utility to find files in the external CD/DVD drive source - or I have to take the PC to the Geek Squad, buy a new CD/DVD drive and get them to install it.  Would appreciate any help you can provide.

• Windows Vista will not read external drives

  I had an external hard drive connected to my computer earlier today. All of a sudden, my computer froze and started to make noises beeps, then I stopped and released my external drive.  Now, whenever I plug a drive it tells me that I have to reformat. However when I try to reformat the drive, he told me that the format could not be completed. It allows me to format NTFS, but that does nothing for me. I need to format in FAT or FAT32, but it won't let me. I even reformatted my drive to FAT32 from another computer, but when I plug in Vista it still says it needs to be formatted.  I got lost. How can I get Vista to re-read my external drives?

• Install Windows 8 on external drive Thunderbolt - Windows could not prepare the computer to begin the next phase of installation

  Hi all

  I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.

  I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).

  The method I'm trying:

  1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.

  2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)

  3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.

  4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)

  5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)

  6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.

  The problem:

  Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.

  The Question:

  How I get this error and get windows install?

  Extra pieces:

  • The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
  • After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
  • I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
  • Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
  • I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
  • I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
  • Thank you!

  The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:

  Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.
  

  I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.

  Wow, that was a long post...

  1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.

  2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.

  3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test.
