I purchased a 1.5TB seagate drive about a month ago, this drive was placed in a USB caddie so that i could transfer data onto it from different sources before i fitted it to my computer. I have 2 other drives in the computer which are IDE, this drive i fitted into an internal SATA slot- (before it was fitted its drive letter assignement was removed)
OS- XP with SP3
I have a virtual machine which needs more space. This VM runs and a PowerEdge T710 with Vmware EXSI 4. I would like to add this disk in the simplest was possible.
I already got a normal desktop hard disk (SATA, 1TB, not Dell branded).
I have no rack for it to plug it inside any of the front bays.
I found an available SATA cable and power.
Every week I will copy the backups to external USB hard disk connecting it to windows server 2008 R2. Most of the time I will face the below message while trying to unmount/eject the external hard disk. Acknowledging the prompt I check if any window of HD is open and close if any but it always prompts the same while trying to remove safely.
This device is currently in use.
Hi!
I have a problem when I try to read data from a SATA 512e disk mounted in an eSATA bay. When the 512e disk is mounted in the computer (laptop) it works fine to read and write. I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on it (upgraded factory install from Dell).
I have switched drives so that I now have an SSD with 12.04 in my laptop.
I have a new external harddisk (formatted with ext4), which I can plug to my laptop running openSUSE 11.2 with KDE SC (from the KDE43 repo) with USB2 or e-SATA respectively.
This post is actually a feature request :idea
I boot Xubuntu (12.04) on my laptop from an external SATA drive (the internal one is for coprorate use, Xubuntu is the OS for my private use).
Sometimes I send my laptop (Lenovo T420) to sleep
Accidentally it can happen that I do not connect the cables (eSATA/USB for power) before trying to wake up the system.
It is no surprise that in these cases the
This is my system topology:
Disk #1 (SATA Internal)
C: D: (Windows 7 Ultimate)
Disk #2 (SATA Internal)
E: (Windows Backup)
Disk #3 (eSATA External)
H: I: (Other windows data)
/dev/sdc3 Linux Swap
/dev/sdc5 Linux /
So, I originally had there Ubuntu 8.1 from years ago but never got to use it.
Hey all. Im finally moving to SATA and have a few questions. I know I'm a little late adopting this tech so I haven't got any experience using it.
I have a system running using a IDE hard disk.
I backup the full disk (entire)
dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/usb/backup.img
But now my system is using SATA hard disk NOT IDE HARD DISK.
I restore the previous backup image to this hard disk.
dd if=/media/usb/backup.img of=/dev/sdb
But, after restore the backup image to the new SATA disk, I try to boot, but the system fail on boot.
