Wrong size of hard disk in BACK/Win ME

I've been trying and trying to install Windows ME on VmWare Workstation.  I can't past the point of fdisk.  When I'm done with fdisk I immediately asked to restart.  After the reboot, I have a hard drive C: with only 2 MB, which has an installed system BACK, no place to install anything else on C:,

Even tried to change the size of up to 32 MB on VMWare HARD drive, no luck.

Tried to install first DOS 7, but get 0 bytes free on C: after installation, even if gdisk indicates adequate space...

Under VmWare WS 8.1 Windows 64-bit.

Any suggestions?

The problem is that it formats but the hard drive is only 2 MB in size.

I finally managed to install Windows ME!  But I had to install MS-DOS 6.22 first, and then run the Windows install me.

My problem all at the long a used cd for MSDOS allbootdisks.com images.  Once I used images of MSDOSform winworld floppies that worked.

    Hello

    You can use compatible hard drives as you like. I would recommend an ssd instead of a 7200 RPM hard drive in the system. Then a hdd to 500 GB for data. Go to the website of drivers and software HP for laptop and are looking for a maintenance and care guide in the manuals. It has listed all the compatible components, including hard drive sizes and rpm. You can also see what cart should be used (part number) and to find it on ebay worldwide...

  • Wrong size of hard drive

    Hello

    I got a new hard drive for my laptop HP G62-225DX with recovery disks. Recovery disks did not work, so I installed Windows of Windows 7 ISO CD.  And it worked. But today, I discovered that my computer shows me that I have only C drive and it's 67Gb. The entire HDD is 320 GB. Where is 253 Go? Perhaps because of these recovery discs? When I start my computer, I have two options to run 'Windows 7' or 'Windows Setup (EMS Enabled)'. This second option is maybe these recovery discs?

    You are the very welcome.

    I do not know exactly because I do not have any partition empty on my PC.

    I think you do a right-click on the C:\ partition and select Extend Volume.

    See if that helps or google Extend Volume Windows 7.

  • What's wrong is the hard disk (hang)?

    A new HDD Seagate was installed on October 1, when I check and it works very well about to reference, but recently, HDD crashes randomly and speed becomes very slow, please see following related images Benchmark for a detailed description.

    (1) it randomly reboots my window XP, and I doubt that it's a RAM problem, then ask to replace a new RAM, but the problem is still existed and drive D:\ is missing at random and it causes Windows XP to restart automatically, please see following related images auto PC restart window for a detailed description.

    (2) I replace another SATA cable and spend slot SATA 6 GB on the Slot SATA 3 Gb, it stops at restart XP problem with this action.

    (3) but the HARD drive crashes randomly for 1 to 2 minutes and get an error, please see the following related images HDD Hang error on the event to get a detailed description.

    (4) Furthermore, once XP restarts, cookies for hotmail has gone and I need to log in again, and I get a few website with saved password and ask my login too.  Will it be a virus? but I'm currently using Norton 360.

    Anyone have any suggestions on what evil is?

    You need to format the HARD disk to NTFS.
    Please perform the procedure long format.
    After Installing Win XP check in disk management settings, the size of the HARD drive.
    I noticed that a wrong size of HARD drive could be reported if the HARD drive has been formatted not!

    But maybe, there is a limitation of the BIOS and the size of 250 GB HARD drive is not fully supported.

  • Cannot enter Windows, hard disk error

    Hi, I have a HP G62 - a31SO Notebook PC and yesterday it froze and now I can't get into Windows 7. I did the test drive at startup and got failure ID ' Q0AMXT - 54T 666 - 9XL03G - 60XP03. Now, I don't have my warranty anymore but I really want to know what the problem is. I can't reinstall with a custom, Setup it stops on "loading". I really want to enter the HARD disk to back up the stuff I have.

    Sure I have posted this in the wrong forum area, but I didn't really know where she should have been posted.

    SATA I and II will work, not sure about SATA III.

  • Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

    I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
    I have
    have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

    Hi watthhel,

    I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

    Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1354us: HP dv6-1354us, hard disk Max

    Hi, I need to replace the hard drive on my dv6-1354us. Does anyone know the side max from the hard drive, it can accept? Thank you.

    The manual only tells you different sizes, HP offered from the factory. HP does not document a maximum size of hard disk for each system. SATA has no inherent limit of size as old IDE drives. Some desktop computers have trouble with 3 TB and more large drives ultra high density, but it's not a problem in laptops, where most current HARD drive size is 2 TB. 1 TB is the sweet spot right now in terms of price/capacity.

  • Machine virtual hard disk (virtual disk) of the upper size limit put into service

    Hi there, so I'm trying to create a hard drive or a virtual disk in a Virtual Machine in order to configure the virtual machine as a file server. The data store is a Promise VTrak M610P and I installed the vtrak as a type of VMFS5 5,46 TB of space (4 2 hard disks to each RAID 5). In the virtual machine, I added a hard drive and selected the store data vtrak and tried to set the provisioned to 5.46 TB size and type thick lazy disposition to zero, but I get an error of DiskCapControl with the range values. I changed the size set in service and 4 TB and he accepted the new hard drive. I can't find anything on the actual limit on the creation of hard disk in a virtual computer.


    I'm running a server Supermicro X7DAL-E with VMware ESXi 5.5 U2.

    Any ideas would be useful. Thank you.

    I forgot I asked a similar question on a different section of the forum (shame on me), but I found a solution. Please see the following post Re: SMB access using esxi host and manage with MS server 2008 storage

    Here's what I wrote on the link above:

    So it turns out that there seems to be something wrong with vClient when you add a hard disk (virtual disk) to a virtual machine of size greater than 4 TB. Article VMware KB: value of range error message when you add more than 4 TB capacity discs in vSphere Client describes this if you encounter this problem, add the hard drive via vSphere CLI, CLI power or vmkfstools. So this seems to be a known issue on vClient. What I ended up doing was using vClient, creation of hard disk, adding to the virtual machine (size of the hard drive is to 5.45) and when I would get the error message on the DiskCapControl out of reach, I would just click OK and then finalize the creation of the hard drive on the virtual machine. Once the process is complete, I selected the virtual machine and noticed that he indeed added a new HDD size 5.45 TB even if he's complained about it. I pulled to the top of the virtual machine with windows server 2008 R2 installed and was able to create a new disk under windows and set it up as a shared drive on the network. Looks like vClient must be updated by VMware and correct this bug, if it's a bug that I think. Thank you for the help vervoort!

  • Something wrong with hard disk resizing

    I'm under 4.1.2 and you just import my Windows 7 Bootcamp machine into a true virtual computer.  I ran out of disk space while trying to install new software in Windows so I stopped and went settings to resize the virtual disk.  While the machine of Bootcamp was 30 GB the setting for the new machine watch as GB 465,76, which is be the size of the Lion partition on the hard drive.  Knowing it's not right and something can happen when importing, I tried shrinking the machine by following the process here.  No dice, my machine stills shows the drive as being 465,76 GB and I can't do the 60 GB I would.  I'm afraid to try anything else without posting everything here first.  Any tips or ideas on what I am doing wrong?

    -Dave

    What you see is the (although IMO the wrong) way that VMware matter partition Boot Camp to a Virtual Machine however based file so that you can not reduce the allocated virtual hard disk size but you can change the size of the virtual partition to increase the space available on the disk by removing the not used OS X in the virtual hard disk partition.

    For general information, take a look at my answer: Re: counterintuitive VMWare Instructions on resize virtual disk

    Under ESX / Setup / storage, you need to remove the data with the wrong block size store (don't forget that you have a backup of your virtual machine).

    So simple, you can choose to add a new data store (link on top-right), you will see free space (the old leaves) and you can choose the size of the block.
