Cloning Server 2008 R2 Foundation 250Gb HDD into one another with 500Gb?

Hi, good morning, on Brazil time.
I have a Server 2008 R2 Foundation installed under HP Proliant ML110 G6 and until last Friday the scenario of disk management was this:
Disk 0: BKP of SISREV (our ERP);
Disk 1: 465Gb Dynamic | Mirrored with disk 2 (but both disks had no data, their emprty)
Disk 2: 465Gb Dynamic | Mirrored with disk 1
Disk 3: 250Gb for 100Mb System reserved | C: with 135,13 Gb | M: 97,65 Gb for data share - Dynamic disk.
Just to mention I've inherit this scenario from earlier support team.
And then I realize that Disk 3 have S.M.A.R.T. alert and people, a while ago, claiming slowness using folder shares and etc...
Then my first reaction was: "let's clone this disk while it's still booting".
I then used Macrium Reflect to copy dynamic volumes from disk 3 into disk 2.
The process did not finished properly. Without knowing I've broke the mirrored disks (that still empty), and ran into a big mess.
Reflect change the partitions ID, I've terminated with HDD showing up error 0xc000000e that boot device was inacessible.
After many work around with diskpart, bootbcd and others and a little web search I've restored the access and boot to the default system disk 3 (250Gb).
Well, for now my question is: I still have S.M.A.R.T. alerts on this HDD and this server holds information about a company since 2009. I wouldn't like to loose this.
Is there a way to clone this actual disk into another one of 465Gb WITHOUT LOSING OR CRAPPING THE EXISTING DATA, TABLE INFORMATION AND ON AND ON...???
A help would be appreciated.

Hi,
You can mirror boot and system volumes on MBR disks or GPT disks. This makes an exact copy of the volume that contains the Windows operating system.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

You haven't mentioned which mail it is,
If it is G-mail go to settings --> general tab--> default text style , you can change your font size & then save at the bottom of the page

Putting 7 table fields into one field with line breakes included!

Hi People
I Need to assamble 7 fields from a view, into one field with some line brakes in Reports, how do I do that???
E.g :
Field names : Name, Collection1, StreetName, StreetNo, ExtraCity, ZipCode, City
Should be put into one field called address and be displayed like this
Name
Collection1
StreetName StreetNo
ExtraCity
ZipCode City
I hope someone can help me *S
/Stig :-)

The following should give you some idea. It might depend if you run your report on Windows or Unix.
select
Name        || decode(Name, null, null, chr(13)||chr(10))||
Collection1 || decode(Collection1, null, null, chr(13)||chr(10))||
StreetName || decode(StreetName, null, null, ' '||StreetNo||chr(13)||chr(10))||
ExtraCity   || decode(ExtraCity, null, null, chr(13)||chr(10))||
ZipCode     || decode(ZipCode, null, null, ' '||City )

How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11? I used to do it with iTunes/Advanced/Join Tracks, but iTunes 11 does not have an "Advanced" button.

How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?

Thanks for your reply, Jim. I imported a CD that I had burned previously with the 2 tracks of sound effects that I had downloaded from the internet (MP3 files), but I did not see an option to join the tracks when I imported the CD. In the upper right corner there were three buttons: Options, CD Info, and Import CD. When I click on Options, the drop-down menu has two choices: "Get Track Names" and "Submit CD Track Names". I cannot find an option to Join Tracks. Help!

How can I combine my SSD + HDD into ONE SSD?

Hey everyone! I hope this isnt two technical but ill give it a whirl.
I currently have a Macbook Pro 15" with a HDD in the Opitcal Drive (1TB) and a 120GB OWC SSD in the Hard Drive Bay.
This created two different time machines on my Airport Time Capsule (2TB). One was for my SSD the other was my Macintosh HD (Old HDD).
I now plan on selling this computer for the new Retina hopefully coming out in July. But that will only have 768GB Flash SSD (Im upgrading to this).
How can I combine my two time machines to fit on one drive again and have my apps still transfer properly and also where all my HDD folders were to be in the same places.
Thanks!

If you are just interested in having your data transferred to the new system then you can use the setup assistant on the new Mac to do this, which should copy all of your data and settings from to the boot drive. If the secondary drive on your current Mac is just data storage (ie, not a place where you store your home folder or applications separate from the boot drive), then after using the setup assistant you can manually copy the backed up files from it to any desired location on your new system's drive.
After this, you can inherit the Time Machine backup from the prior system, which will use the one for the boot drive only (Macintosh HD) or create a fresh backup, and the copied data from the data drive backup should now be included in this new backup database.
There is no way to cleanly combine the backups of two separate drives directly into one and have it continue to work as the main backup for the drive.

This being an OEM copy you cannot move this to another server. You can only do that with Volume Licensing of server.

Combining multiple spreadsheets into one workbook with excel

Im working on a project that requires a workbook with all the raw and calculated data merged into one excel workbook. Currently I have all the sheets saved separately but for the life of me can't figure anything out from the examples i've seen so far. How would I Initially go about doing this?

Why save the spreadsheets separately? Can you combine them from the gitgo using the Report Generation toolkit. How are you collecting the data? Is the data entry done manually or is it automated? From your post, it seems you collect the data by some other means other than with LV, but you want to merge the data with LV, correct?
Take a look at the example finder if you haven't done so.

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Restore Previous Versions - Restored File Filled with Nulls

ISSUE:
The Restore Previous versions feature on my file server stopped working some time in the recent past. If I look at the Previous Version for a file or folder the items are listed and they show a valid file size. However, when I restore a previous
version of a file it is completely filled with nulls. I have tried local restores on the server and remote restores. The results are the same; I get a file that is the correct size but completely filled with nulls. The Server is Windows 2008
R2 64. I have searched for any reports of similar issues to no avail. I'm looking for any ideas on how to resolve the issue preferably while maintaning archived files.

Hello,
Can you help me with this too?
My Shadow copy stop working!
When my clients right click on Folders, they saw only date in the past.. and the new date not comming!
When i went to file server
==> Computer Management==> Right click on "Share Folder" after that, i got nothing! Only "Gray" at the "Title bar" of computer management.
Please see attached:
What should i do? Please help me.
Best regards

Server 2008 R2 Standard - Netlogon Service fails to start with error code 31 a device attached to the system is not functioning

Device manager does not show any signs of failed hardware
Server used to be the only domain controller in the network
We had a power failure that resulted in the machine powering off incorrectly (3 months ago or so)
Windows would not start for a missing file
Followed a guide to resolve and we were able to get into windows
Since then the OS has not seemed to work correctly
Server was demoted and AD moved to another server
I am now not able to assign permissions to folders to domain users because this machine does not see the domain
We still use this server as a file server

I believe that your system is facing some corruptions.
The easiest way to proceed would be to migrate the server content to another location, re-install it and migrate them back.
Otherwise, you can try running chkdsk /r /f and sfc /scannow
and see if this helps.

Multiple parallel loads into one table with TABLE LOCK option

Hi everyone:
We have several SSIS packages where each package has the basic design of having one sequence container. Inside each sequence container can be anywhere from 2 - 9 data flow tasks where for each data is selected from a different table but all 2-9 tasks do
an OLEDB fast load (with table lock option checked) into the same single destination table.
The number of rows were pulling from the various sources might be anywhere from 5 up to 100,000.
Right now this doesn't seem to be causing any issues, but I wanted to check to see if this set up (since we're doing a review) could potentially cause problems down the road?
We seem to think that each parallel task will acquire its data as normal, and just won't be able to insert until one of the other parallel tasks completes its fast load. To us, that's no big deal as we're at least able to acquire the data in parallel.
What are everyone's thoughts?
Thanks!

>>>We seem to think that each parallel task will acquire its data as normal, and just won't be able to insert
until one >>>of the other parallel tasks completes its fast load.
That is correct observation.

Background processing- download multiple itabs into one excel with tabs

Hello,
I want to run a report as a background job and download the outputs in excel file into different tabs.
Problem is OLE does not run in background mode.
Are there any other alternatives for that?
I searched the forum and did not get any useful answer for background procesing. All the topics use for foreground processing.
(Old query for reference:- )
[background processing] multiple work sheets in single attachment file

The second transaction code is having the OLE code which will download the data into an excel sheets with more than 1 tab.

How can I merge all of the new FF windows that are open into one window with multiple tabs? Safari has a merge windows feature that I like. This is really nice when conducting reasearch on multiple sites at the same time.

When I clik on weblinks they all open into new windows making it somewhat painful to clik on window in the menu bar to go to each new page. I would rather have a feature that would allow me to merge all of those individual windows into tabs within one page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Thank you. That worked. I was able to open 1 window with multiple tabs. Thanks cor-el!

How can I combine separate pdf documents into one document with several pages

I have been using Preview to separate pdf pages into separate pdf documents. How might I do the reverse. Preview appears to have combined the documents in the thumbnail, but will not allow saving this. It just saves the highlighted page.

Open all the documents. Choose View > Contact Sheet. All the pages will be shown as thumbnails, separated by document. Select the pages you want in the final document and drag them into the desired order, in one document space.

If I have two separate pages documents, how do I compile them into one document with multiple pages?

I have two separate documents, but I need them to be in one document in a sort of magazine form. How do I get the documents saved together so there are multiple pages in one document?

Menu > View > Page Thumbnails > click on the thumbnails > Copy > Paste into second document thumbnails
