DV7-1220ed BIOS disk test fails in full test (hangs). Is this the disk or the controller?

Hi,
my DV7-1220ed started failing with BSOD after I used CCcleaner software.
I decided to reinstall the PC, but still there seems to be a problem with the disk.
Sometimes it stalls, and then I can see the disk light on almost constantly and you can hear it spin in a repeating pattern.
BIOS disk test is OK in Quick test, but hangs in Full test at 0%. Can't stop it with ESC key, have to poff/pon.
Any idea if this is the disk or the controller?
Can I move the disk to the free slot to see if this is a controller problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
I also used the 'mstd' utility to send info.
Thanks,
Jaap

Hi,
If you have created your set of Recovery DVDs, these will automatically format the HDD as part of the installation process as well as re-creating all the partitions that were originally on your notebook.

Config Test Failing in Mapping test

HI,
When I am executing config test in ID for an interface it is failing in Interface determination and mapping test. It does not giving any log.
Now the mapping for this is multimapping and used enhances Interface determination.
I tries with Payload XML both with and without the additional message message1 wrapper that gets generated for multimapping but am getting the same error.
Any idea if the config test is supposed to behave that way only for multimapping.
Thanks and Regards,
Himadri

Hi Prateek,
I am afraid this is not the answer.
Let me add the additional info.., the interface is working fine.....
However the config test fails... So there can not be any mistake with the interface,.
Also I have cross checked before posting.. this is not a cache problem...
THanks for the links though
Thanks,

Site-relative links fail on local testing server

Using CS4/WAMP/XP, I have a testing server set up. All works well except that when I specify site-relative links, on the testing server they go back to localhost, not localhost/Frances. They work fine on the live site, but not on my testing server.
This prevents me from using (well, testing) 'include' files for things like menus when parts of the site are in different folders.
I have my site setup as follows:
Local Info
Site name "FFG2009"
Local root folder C:\wamp\www\Frances\
Default images folder C:\wamp\www\Frances\images\
HTTP Address: http://localhost/Frances/
Testing Server
Server model: PHP/MySQL
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: C:\wamp\www\Frances testing\
URL Prefix: http://localhost/Frances/
In my Apache config file I have a virtual directory set up like this
Alias /Frances/ "c:/wamp/www/Frances/"
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/Frances/">
    options all +includes
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
I have been advised that I could temporarily change the Apache webroot folder to my "Frances" folder, but that stops other things like PHPMyAdmin from working. Also I have other sites within my www directory and I'd rather not have to change the Apache rootweb directory every time I need to work on a different site.
Is there a way to set up my site in CS4 so that site root links go to localhost/Frances rather than just localhost?
Thanks
Tone'z

Many thanks Mark.
I fact I spent all yesterday coming to the same solution. Finally at around 12:30am this morning it worked!
Early in the day I found the same reference you mentioned in an on-line copy of David Power's book where he exactly described the very problem I had - and with the VH solution.
However, I had a problem with an obscure syntax error in the virtual hosts include file. I still don't know what it was. The flag to perform a syntax check on HTTPD startup didn't discover it. The problem actually prevented the Apache service from starting at all but that little point escaped me for a long time because the WAMP system tray icon is so small I didn't spot that it was telling me "some services are running" (half yellow) instead of "all services are running" (white).
It wasn't until I ran (in desperation!) Apache Monitor that it became obvious that Apache was tripping over this virtual host definition and failing to start.
It also seems that if you have any virtual host directive in an include file, then it negates the localhost directive in the Apache config file. So when I define the Frances virtual host, I also need to have localhost defined in the include file.
It was this localhost directive that was causing the problem. I found it by having Apache Monitor running so I can see the true state of the Apache service and, after pointing the config file 'include' directive to a vhosts file...
empty the vhosts file - Apache starts - 'localhost' works, frances doesn't - makes sense.
add the frances virtualhost definition to the vhosts file - Apache starts - 'frances' goes to the frances site, 'localhost' does too (dam')
add the localhost virtualhost definition to the vhosts file - Apache fails to start - "IE cannot display this page"
pull out the localhost definition - Apache starts... hmmmm... .
find an example localhost definition from somewhere else - to all intents and purposes identical to mine - add it in - Apache starts!
Both localhost and frances now work! Maybe there was a space where no space should be - I don't know.
Of course I also had to add entries into windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts to point to 127.0.0.1.
Oh yes, virtualhosts are fussy about folder names. You cannot have spaces in a folder name.

Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

Hi,
I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
(https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

Hard disk drive failed

My Hp probook 4430 series is telling me the hard disk drive failed but everything else passed. I have tried using the recovery disk that came with the laptop to no avail. please help . I am on windows 7 . The serial number is cnu2220jpq. product number h2c39us#aba

You can't install Windows to a bad drive. If the diagnostic is saying the disk has failed then you have to believe it. The hard drive needs to be replaced. Here is a link to the Service Manual:

See Page 53. Post back if you need help with software migration/reinstallation or selecting/buying a replacement drive. It will be between $50 and 100 US depending on size and speed.

Testing an ISA Server Rule, the recursive query to other DNS Servers test fails

Hello,
I am trying to configure the following infrastructure with ISA Server 2006 and two W2003 servers (called "Server1" and "Server2") . "Server1" is a domain controller, and in
"Server2" is the ISA Server installed, which also has
attached two network Ethernet cards, one called "Internal Ethernet Card", and the other one called
"External Ethernet Card".
The infrastructure would be: "Internal Ethernet Card"---- ISA Server ----"External Ethernet Card"---"Router"----"Internet"
"Internal Ethernet Card" manages the internal package traffic of the infrastructure, the network segment which belongs is isolated from what we could called the Outbound traffic, which is linked to a router. "Internal Ethernet Card" it`s
a virtual network.
"Internal Ethernet Card" feature configuration is the following:
- IP address: 192.168.3.3
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- DHCP Enabled: No
- DNS Server: 192.168.3.1 (Must point to the DC "Server1" which has the DNS Service installed)
- Default Gateway: None (because doesnt point to outside)
- Primary WINS Server: 192.168.3.1
The "External Ethernet Card" provides, the outbound connection, and this card is connected to the physical router.
It`s feature configuration is the following:
- IP address: 192.168.1.50
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- DHCP Enabled: No
- Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
- DNS Servers: 192.168.3.1 (Must point to the DC "Server1" which has the DNS Service installed)
After configuring the network cards, I create the following rule in the ISA Server to allow the traffic towards outside from the server and the clients which have joined to the domain:
Action: Allow. Protocol: DNS. From:"Server2". To : External. Condition: All Users
After applying the changes to update the configuration, I enter in the Dns Server of "Server1" and in the "Monitoring" tab, I run a "recursive query to other DNS Servers" but fails.
Only works the "simple query against this DNS Server".
I don`t know why fails, but I`m stucked on this issue, because in the "Server1" DNS Server, in the "domain forward IP address list", I have added two DNS addresses which work OK.
I would appreciate some help to solve this issue.
Thanks
Regards

Hello Ms. Long,
Yes, you are right. In the Server1 is configured the DNS server, to use forwarders whose are set in the field "Selected domain`s forwarder IP address list", two DNS address numbers obtained from "Open DNS", which work well.
There is no DNS Server linked to the External NIC.
The Server1 belongs to a private network configured as "VMnet3", which it is set as follows:
IP address: 192.168.3.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.3.3
DNS Server: 192.168.3.1
I have tried to test your suggested idea:
> set d2
> google.com
Server: srv-dcfs-01.dominio.local
Address: 192.168.3.1
SendRequest(), len 42
HEADER:

QUESTIONS:
google.com, type = A, class = IN
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
timeout (2 secs)
SendRequest failed
*** Request to srv-dcfs-01.dominio.local timed-out
As you can see highlighted in bold, the problem remains in the "recursive query to other DNS Servers" check.
Maybe is better to put the issue on the "Windows Server General Forum" , because the issue has not nothing in common with the ISA Server, dont you?
Thanks
Best regards

Sometimes tests fail abruptly with timeout in CUITE

Hi,
we have a tests suite of codedui tests, and sometimes we noticed that tests fails with timeout :
Test 'XXXX' exceeded execution timeout period.
The problem with this is that when we get this failure, it seems that the tests doe not execute MyTestCleanup(), so the following tests fail.
the header of our functions looks like the following :
[TestMethod, Timeout(5 60 1000)]
[Description("Description")]
[Owner("pm")]
[TestCategory("C1"), TestCategory("Regression"), TestCategory("C2"), Priority(2)]
public void VerifyFunctionality1()
is there any wahy to make the tests execute the MytestCleanup() when they timeout ?? please note we use vstest.console.exe and visual studio 2012.
Regards

Hi kaki2000,
>>is there any wahy to make the tests execute the MytestCleanup() when they timeout ?? please note we use vstest.console.exe and visual studio 2012.
The real issue is that where you design the MytestCleanup(), do you use the cleanup method like ClassCleanup Attribute or the TestCleanup Attribute?
If so, I think it would have a limitation for it, for example,
the TestCleanup: Identifies a method that contains code that must be used after the test has run and to free resources obtained by all the tests in the test class.
I think you could get useful information here "How Cleanup Methods Affect Test Run Time-Outs
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243175.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
The test run might have a time-out value assigned. The amount of time that is used by the cleanup methods is added to the total amount of time that is used by the test run. In other words, the cleanup time counts toward the time limit that you have
imposed on the test run as a whole, and therefore could cause the test run to time out.

Jack

TCK 1.1 File tests fail against CDC-HI-1.1.1-rr-b6

Dear All,
Am doing xscale build of CDC-HI-1.1.1-rr-b6 and am running TCK 1.1 against it on a montavista 3.1 platform . Out of 9102 , about 320 tests fail. All the optional packages have been built with the hotspot implementation. The File section of the java_io tests all fail with the harness version 3.2_02 fcs b05 giving the error that
Directory CDC-TCK-1.1/CDC-TCK_11/tests/api/java_io/File not found. Possible configuration Error
and all File related tests fail. Other tests that fail are FileDescriptor, FileInputStream, FileNotfoundException,File OutputStream, Filereader,FileWriter,OutputStreamWriter, Serialization components .
I can for sure see that the File directory exists in java_io dir and the file->serial tests also pass. Any pointers if am missing any enviornment vars or testing with wrong TCK version ?

How to calculate the disk failure level for a 3-way mirror pool?

On another post in this forum, the following information regarding a 3-way mirroring storage pool is given:
Pool requires a quorum of 50% plus drives to be present to survive.
with 3 way mirror - we have a guarantee of surviving 2 disk failure.
Maintaining the above requirements and providing the guarantee -
mandates us to have minimum 5 disks in pool. As if we loose 2, we still
have 3 in the pool (>50%) for pool to maintain it's quorum.
Just to be sure, I would like Microsoft to confirm that the following calculation applies to any number of disks in a 3-way mirroring pool.
If the number of disks in a 3-way mirroring pool is n, INT(n/2) disks can fail without data loss.
Examples:
With 5 disks, INT(5/2)=INT(2.5)=2 disks can fail.
With 6 disks, INT(6/2)=INT(3)=3 disks can fail.
With 9 disks, INT(9/2)=INT(4.5)=4 disks can fail.
Am I right in this assumption?
Thanks for your answer.

Hi,
>>Am I right in this assumption?
Based on my understanding, it’s not this case.
Mirror spaces are designed for increased performance and protect your files from drive failure by keeping more than one copy. Two-way mirror spaces make two copies of your
files and can tolerate one drive failure, while three-way mirror spaces can tolerate two drive failures.
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for better understanding.
Storage Spaces - Disk resiliency

Can I remediate the user at the end of the test after they have completed the entire test?

We have a course with several lessons. At the end of the lessons there will be a test that must allow the user to remediate to the questions they missed.
Our issue is that they students must finish the test first before they are remediated.
How do I do this?
Thank you!

Our plan is to create a lesson test with a minimum of 20 questions where the student will work through the entire test and receive a score.
At this point after concluding the test, the student is presented with the score showing correct and incorrect answers.
The student can then select the question(s) they missed and navigate back to the slide containing the information.
After reviewing each missed question, they can exit the test.
Keep in mind the test will be a separate captivate file with the 'information slides' copied and pasted into the test.cptx file.
Is this clear as mud now?
Thank you for your feedback.

Hard disk test failed on HP Pavillion dv6-1100eo notebook

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo Entertainment Notebook PC (P/N: NR597EA) with Vista 32-bit. Unfortunately no warranty left in and general I have been very happy with this notebook.
However suddenly Wondows would not start up - and it did not even find Startup Recovery partition on the harddisk. As I wasn't sure if this Startup Recovery was on hard disk or not - I ordered System Recovery DVDs for this Scandinavian language version.
These disks did not work - so I figured I have probably not done my homework before ordering those disks.
Then I ran system Diagnostics (even if I have a old BIOS version F.03). On the diagnositics - both Quick and Full Hard disk test failed during the first 1% of the scan.
Is there anything that can be done - or is the only option new hard disk? In case - what hard disk is recommended that is not too expensive - as I don't want to invest too much into a soon 3 year old notebook.
I recently bougth an external harddisk (1 TB) based on USB connection. Can that be used bypassing internal HD. In this way I would increase HD capacity and not invest anymore into this notebook - since I already have the recovery DVDs
It is probably only a time question before I will buy a new HP notebook - that is why I don't want any long permanent fix of this problem.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Sorry to say, but you won't be able to install or boot Vista from the external HDD, so if you need to get the notebook working, you're going to have to replace the internal drive.
The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
500Gb Hard Drive
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 57 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.
