Z800 - Incorrect used the disk in the drive of Windows 7 boot

Hello

I have a very strange situation with my two Z800. I bought used them "out of contract".

Among the motherboards was defective (one of the memory locations that it would generate an error

probably a cpu twisted PIN?) and the other had this error I describe below. So I decided to

two new motherboards think that two of them had problems buying... However, I am still

the error that I describe below.

Any help would be LARGELY APPRECIATED!

Now, I'm only using two new motherboards.
Z800 #1 config: two L5639, 96 GB of RAM (6 x 16 GB) BIOS v3.57 (I upgraded from 1.18)
Z800 #1 config: 5520 x, 24 GB of RAM (3 x 8 GB) BIOS V1.18 (it came with the jury)

When I install Windows 7 64 bit ultimate (two different MSDN Downloads) on hard _any_

by car (I have tried many, partial list is below) connected to the SATA _any_ port (LSI or)

Intel) (I tried all the different combinations of disks) on one of the

systems, I get the same error. After the installation is complete and I check the disc

disk space is _always_ fallacious.

For example:

Hitachi 700 GB HDD SATA2.  No other software other than Win7 install (about 11 GB

files). When Windows starts the installation he sees a 698 GB drive, which is fine.

Once installation is complete if I look at the drive C: he said 607 GB is available, up to 13%

is used or about 90 GB... I right click all files on the C: drive however but

they represent only 11 GB. What happened to the 78 GB of missing space?

Similar, but more bad results with a processor Intel 320 160 GB SSD. Same scenario. However this time

Windows believes that the player has 149 GB of free space (which is fine) but after the

Install reports only 1.4 GB is available after the installation of windows. With only 11 GB of

files in fact too much space. What happened to 138GB missing?

What is really strange, it's that if I started 700 GB Hitachi drive and I have the Intel format

the 320 series 160GB as a secondary Windows data drive, all space is

available. I can copy files and the space used is correct... The same exact when results

Am I on the Intel than BONE and Hitachi drive as data drive. The reader of the BONE

bad shows used space and Hitachi is fine.

The exact same results occur on the #1 and #2 of Z800 Z800.

I tried the following SSDS: two 320series Intel 160 GB, 240 GB ADATA, Intel

840 series 250GB, Kingston 300 160 GB and several older Rotary readers of

Hitachi, WD and others with all kinds of different abilities and most of the spinning

SATA2 and SATA3 a discs. the results are always the same. The Win7

installation led still misreports the space used, but the data disk (any who

reader that I use) always correctly reports the space used.

I'm sure that I tried to use all of the ports on the controller Intel and LSI

controller and I still get the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in

IDE mode with the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in RAID mode with the same

results.

I flashed the drive Intel 320 with SSD utility HP, same results.

I tried to load the drivers Intel and LSI as part of installing Windows

procedure, but the Dungeon to get the same results.

I tried sitting on a Chair and standing on one leg, but the results are always the

even. I tried during the day and in the evening and even late at night, even

results...

I went to it last month. I contacted HP support, but they claim it hurts

motherboards. I understand the issue with the twisted up like a bad mother but 3 pin

all other similar problems?

I configure something in the BIOS? or y at - it a setting that I'm not aware?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I finally solved the problem.

The problem, it turns out, was related to the configuration of large capacity (GB 48 and 96 GB) memory. While I built servers with this amount of memory, and even more, I never built like that, desktop computers. Turn, the impact of this on the Windows desktop operating system memory size is dramatic at this scale. Server OSs are different and so the impact is not the same.

Combine hard drives relatively 'small' (160 GB, 200 GB) in proportion to the size of the memory and this is where the problems occur. In a more typical 4 GB or 8 GB or RAM Office combined with a 1 TB drive, you won't even notice the effect.

Question #1: The Windows 7 pagefile (pagefile.sys) aka virtual memory. It turns out that, by default, Windows creates a page file that is equal to the amount of physical RAM + 300 MB if 1 GB or more of RAM is installed:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382717.aspx

So now the largest system (96GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB has been used by Pagefile.sys leaving 42 GB of available disk space.

Question #2: Windows 7 hibernation file. By default, Windows creates a hibernation file which is 75% of the size of the memory. Why not 100%? because it compresses data before shutting down:

http://download.Microsoft.com/downlo...footprint.docx

So now the largest system (96 GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB used hiberfil.sys PageFile.sys and (75% 96 GB = 72 GB) for a total of 179 GB. This means that the disc was actually larger. Even the biggest startup drives 500 GB, 750Go you always notice 179GB missing.

Planned around work.

The question of the hibernation: hibernation is only useful if you plan to put the system into hibernation - good for computers laptops, but not usually necessary in the workstations. . These systems will be used in audio and video production environments to the each with a dedicated inverter, so it does not intend to put them always in hibernation. Hibernation can safely be disabled in this case.

http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/Windows-7-delete-hibernation-file-Hiberfil-sys/

On the question of Pagefile.sys, we look at a few scenarios.

Option 1 - use a larger SSD and therefore the size of the pagefile.sys is not a problem. In this case a 300 GB or better yet a 600 GB SSD would be very appropriate

Option 2: Windows is capable of using a separate drive for this function, if the OS is on a disk and the pagefile.sys on another. What is important is that the drive used for pagefile.sys must have the same performance or be faster than the reader of the OS. So if an SSD is used on the main OS drive, do not use a drive 5400 RPM because problems occur... this reversing technically would work: 5400 RPM drive for OS and an SSD for better pagefile.sys, use two matched SSDs.

We are fortunate to have a corresponding spare SSD, so we'll probably use it for this purpose.

Option 3 - we had planned to use a VIRTUAL disk on the system of 96 GB. This means that we had to book 32 GB of RAM to the real system and then assign the other 64 GB of RAM like disc data in memory when working on projects. Load us the data to the VIRTUAL disk and copy to the storage drive when you are finished. Partially risky if there is a power outage because we can lose the files, but with a UPS the risk of crashes. We also have plans of relying on tools to sync files to save the RAMDISK in session. In this scenario, you can actually reduce the size of pagefile.sys since we would never use more than 32 GB of RAM. It is also prudent to reduce if keep you track of the size of the file over time and you have a good idea of the amount of memory you use. So if we ever go beyond 12 GB of usage, then we will reduce the size of the pagefile.sys properly.

So that's it. It has been a long road to get to this point. Now, we can finally start using the system as planned.

I'm surprised HP technical support was not aware of these effects. Well.

Hope this is helpful to someone else out there.

  • 100% Windows 8 using the drive and Windows Update problem

    I'm going to completely horrible with windows 8.  I use the computer for two reasons

    1.) to run a machine virtual linux which performs calculations for my work

    (2.) to run a very small application that connects to another computer and updates a display based on what is sent to it.  This application also shuts down the computer when the network computer told him to.

    The computer is not connected to the internet, so I chose not to do the windows updates (in Control Panel, never check, do not update, etc...), now that I have a set of drivers that work well.  Took me to update to the latest version of windows 8 (not 8.1), so that the service representative would talk to me, and the problem is more serious.

    I also disabled windows update service.

    Also, after startup, svchost.exe takes 100% of the use of the disc for anywhere from 1 minute to 3 hours.  It is usually about 5 minutes, but takes more time after an update.  I reinstalled windows many times, and the problem persists.  When no other applications running, 10 minutes after the start, opening of windows Explorer takes about a minute.  This computer has a disk decently fast (I tried to replace), a processor quad core and 16 GB of RAM.  When running normally, it is extremely fast.

    My problem is that when I'm at work, a team of 20 or so programmers and engineers may have to wait up to 3 hours for the use of the disc down before you start to work because Windows 8 is unable to work properly.  How can I get rid of this?

    I am considering really just to start the linux and rewrite of the application image bit will run in windows, but I don't want the headache of Active Directory on linux.

    If I had 2 drives (copies of each other) would I still lost all of these data. It seems that the reliability of disc is not my main concern, but the speaker.

    I've never had a pc lose all his data by car, make it look training crashed as the s/w me invites to use it. It looks like the o/s meta data, manage the contents of the disk are broken down.

    You have the USB key with the encryption key connected to the NAS Server? The key must be plugged to the volume mounted power.

  • Using the drive almost always at 100% at the start and sometimes at other times

    Recently, my laptop seemed particularly overwrought, even when executing threads. Whenever I start it (and also sometimes at random so that I use for light work), it is much slower than it has been in the past, and when I check the tast Manager, it says that the disc is in 90 to 100% almost every time. So I watch programs using the floppy and almost all of them use it with a rate of 0 MB/s, and all other use at a fairly slow pace. I know it's normal for notebook computers to slow down over time (mine is a little over a year old), but I wonder if it is an expected behavior. I find it odd that the drive is the treatment so furiously, but it seems to me that no program is really use it. I enclose below, pictures of my complete task manager a few minutes after starting.

    My processor is an Intel i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz and I have 12 GB of RAM.

  • "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. »

    Have a laptop Envy M6-K010DX. Due to a problem of the internet while improving to win 8 to 8.1, the PC does not start correctly, and Windows Explorer will not load. Has decided to "Refresh" of the operating system and is gone to F11 restore utilities. When I go to the utility of refreshment and follow the prompts that I reach a message that says, 'the drive where windows is installed is locked.

    The only access I have for execution of orders made by the tasks Manager command-line and F11. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Someone at - it any information on that?

    Hello Lara.

    IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

    You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

    In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

    Your message looks like not it was even 24 hours old before you decided to delete it from the original computer?

    Hi Annaed,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I can understand your concerns to your system and will certainly guide you in the right direction to solve the problem.

    Control bug BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO occurs if the SYSTEM registry hive is damaged. However, this corruption is generally unlikely, because the bootloader, known as NT Loader (NTLDR) in versions of Windows prior to Vista, checks a hive for corruption when loading the hive.

    This bug check can also occur if some values and critical registry keys are missing. You keys and values may be absent, if a user manually change the registry.

    As per the error message "the drive where windows is installed is locked, unlock the drive and try again", I would refer to the suggestions posted by phanlon7 replied on 12 October 2013 in the next thread and check if they are useful.
