How to communicate with HID USB device under windows XP with Labview

I have designed a EZ-USB FX2 device and I need to communicate with LabVIEW. I mean I just want to send and receive data. I don’t know how to achieve this goal.Someone have advised me to design a HID device,then use VISA Driver Development Wizards to generate driver(inf file).SO I defined it to a hid device .However when I connect my hid device to the computer, it will automatically be recognized as HID compliance device. I can’t to install the inf file driver. I wondered whether all HID devices will be acquiescently installed the drivers contained in the windows rather than use the inf file driver generated by VISA Driver Development Wizards? If so，what should I do next to communicate with HID USB device under windows XP with Labview? HOPE TO GET HELP!

Hi,
I am working on a project using PIC18F4550 MCU and USB.
I would need to send and receive data from the MCU thru USB. I have uninstaled the HID and created a new NI-VISA driver for my MCU. this worked fine, and it did showed up in MAX
Unfortunately I was not able to receive data from the MCU, Just sending!
I thought to use HID.DLL but the way I need to use the functions inside the HID DLL is simply too much for me, I am not a PC programmer.
There is any kind of VI that is able to use HID.DLL to comunicate with external devices conected to PC thru USB?
Please Help

I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or remove windows partition.

Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

Can't get rid of Windows on my Mac even with disk utility

I noticed this disk0r3 or something like that, and I know this is Windows.
I have a bit of a bug issuea nd the windows wasn't done very well. I wanted to erease it with disk utility, but it said it couldn't. What should I do?
I've tried the zero, 15, and 35 or whatever they offered.

Did you use Apple's Boot Camp utility to create a hard drive partition for Windows?
If so, do you want to erase the partition created for Windows or eliminate the 2nd partition and go back to a single hard drive partition?
If the latter, you have no choice but to reformat the hard drive first which erases the hard drive and then re-install OS X and all software.

X220 BIOS/Firmware - does it support "Secure Boot" under Windows 8?

I am getting ready to install W8x64 Pro. I have a X220 with the latest BIOS (1.36 if I recall correctly) using Windows 7x64 currently. I have run the Upgrade Assistant and it says: "Secure Boot isn't compatible with your PC." "Your firmware doesn't support Secure Boot so you won't be able to use it in Windows 8."
Assuming when I install W8x64 bit I have "Boot to UEFI First" and "UEFI BIOS Only" set in the BIOS - and the SSD formatted as a GPT SSD - should Secure Boot work?
The 1.36 BIOS is not listed as Windows 8 compatible. I see there is a BIOS for the X230 that is W8 compatible but I am not going to install it.
At any rate - for any of you X220 users - you can click on "System Information" in W8 or type in "msinfo32" in the run script and it will say whether "Secure Boot" is Unsupported or On.
Here is a Lenovo link for installing W7 using UEFI but it does not mention whether you would be able to be in "Secure Mode" at the end.

Latest firmware is supposed to support Windows 8. But I don't know what support is supposed to mean... I'd say that if you've installed under UEFI and still doesn't enable, it doesn't.
Thou now that I think of... After I installed using UEFI, I had to go back to the BIOS and change some setting. Reset-some-key or something. I can't restart the computer now but whenever I restart it I'll let you know which setting it was. (it can be several days)
Good luck.
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

Can't boot into Windows after splitting Mac partition with Disk Utility

Hi everyone,
I installed Windows 8 with BOOTCAMP, creating a large 871 GB partition with a smaller 127 GB partition for Windows. After installing Windows, I then went back to Disk Utility to shrink the Mac partition and add two new partitions, one for storage and another blank, hoping to use it to install Linux into one day.
I did that, and now Windows doesn't boot. A Windows blue screen tells me I need to use the Windows DVD to repair it.
I tried to use Disk Utility to delete the two new partitions I made and grow the Mac partition back to the max size of 871 GB. But it doesn't let me do this. The Disk Utility log doesn't report an error and thinks it worked but the partition stays the same size. However if I make the partition a little smaller, like 870 GB then it works. I'm wondering if the Recovery partition is hiding there and preventing me from fully expanding the Mac partition.
What can I do?

Kappy,
I can boot into OS X just fine so if possible, I'd like to avoid reformatting everything. If you know of a way I can add more than 2 partitions with OS X and Boot Camp, please let me know. As far as I know, rEFInd can recognize more than two partitions, but I don't think it can edit partitions on a GPT / hybrid MBR system. Or am I wrong?

Thanks. I've tried that, get now a single line with Windows, which does not work
EDIT: Are you able to boot Windows independent of GRUB, ie. directly from the firmware boot menu?
I've tried F12 key, found a menu, started on the HD, found a new menu corresponding with the EFI directories (arch_grub, Microsoft....). Microsoft entry sent me on... grub menu
EDIT: Can you try (note the extra line : "set gfxpayload=keep")
It's time for diner (i'm in France). I'll see this in the next hour.
Many thanks
Seems like the actual Windows bootmgfw.efi was overwritten by grubx64.efi or something else. In the boot menu Windows's entry (created by Windows installer) is usually titled "Windows Boot Manager".
EDIT:
Try this. Copy the files from Windows's C:\Windows\Boot\EFI to <EFISYS>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ . Overwrite any exisitng files, and make sure <EFISYS>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/BCD file exists. That is the Windows equivalent of grub.cfg (although BCD cannot be read easily since it is not a text file). Try your menuentry again.

Windows 7 partition not showing up at boot, but it appears within Disk Utility.

I have a Macbook Pro that's had 2 partitions for the past year. I created a 3rd partition yesterday and promptly deleted it.
Ever since, I haven't been able to boot in Windows - Mavericks is the only option. Disk Utility shows my Boot Camp partition, and that partition still appears on my desktop as a mounted drive (with all files intact).
I rebooted in recovery mode to open Disk Utility. In the top left corner, I hit the Apple menu > Startup disk, and Windows showed up as a bootable drive. I clicked on it, had it restart into Windows, and it almost worked. A black screen with a line command showed up. It said "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key." No matter what I pressed, nothing happened, so I turned it off and back on into Mavericks.
I want to boot in Windows but have no idea what's stopping me. Any thoughts?

You could be seeing a Windows boot manager with XP and 7, but no, you can't do what you did and directly choose Windows 7. You can make it the default for Windows, use msconfig.

Please help Mum's Acer Aspire 8.1 won't boot to windows even with a windows disc BSOD

Hi. I am sooo very frustrated. My mum has an ACER Aspire E1-522 series. She's been having probs with it since last summer as it turned very s-l-o-w and would take forever to do its updates...however, the internet is messed up here sometimes and hard to 'jump onto' with Wifi as she's not 'hardwired' to the internet. Anyway, I had cleaned out her system a few times, no probs...Then AFTER the last update from windows ( approx. a month ago) and the computer shut itself down. Whenever she turned it on, it would 'interrupt' her after sign on screen for Windows and then say it was fixing itself. I told her I would try to fix it (as we CANNOT afford to take it to repair for $100+) So I bought a 16g usb to do a back up on (it has never been done) as the back up would not go onto discs (??) Now, that I invested $ in that, the darn thing will ONLY come on with logo, and IF I'm lucky, will come on with blue screen "windows encountered an error, wait for repair..." then it goes black (or sometimes blue) for days...WHAT can I do?? How do I fix this? I don't know how to get the battery out either, but I don't want to damage the computer in case it does have to go to the shop. And how does one even 'get in' for the RAM in case that is the problem? PLEASE PLEASE help!! ( it's not even 2 yrs. old... but it is out of warranty...) Thank you for reading my rant! (OH-PS: We tried to boot to windows with a disc and NO luck..)

Hi,
Would you please first check if the system can startup into Safe mode?
Then, please try the startup repair in Advanced menu after you boot your computer via installation media.

There is no option for "DVD and CD Sharing" on a 2011 Mini because it doesn't have an optical drive to share. That option is available only on computers with an optical drive to share.
That option is used, on the other "donor" computer with an optical drive that you want to use/share. On the other computer you turn on "DVD and CD Sharing", allowing its optical drive to be shared. Then on the Mini you connect to it with "remote disc".
I believe you're thinking about the "DVD and CD Sharing" System preference in reverse; you activate it on the computer whose optical drive you want to use/share, not on the Mini without an optical drive.
See the following which explains how to set up and use remote disc: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777?viewlocale=en_US

Cannot access Windows Partition after Disk Utility (Mavericks)

Today my Windows partition worked. So I thought, might as well fix the permissions of the drive and also repair the drive for any bootloader problems. Resulted in an error saying "Live file system repair is not supported".
Mavericks still works boots fine. Windows on the other hand, does not appear when holding down the Alt/Option key at boot.
Please, I don't need an official documentation that teaches me how to install Boot Camp correctly, I just need an experienced answer to explain what is going on, don't post just to get points please.

I have this exact same problem. In my case, I had a Boot Camp partition set up and fully working, with Windows 8.1. Then, using Parallels 8, I set up a new VM to use that Boot Camp partition (following some instructions from Parallels that I found online).
After that, Windows felt that disk repairs were needed, but it never successfully repaired them. So I went to disk utility, selected the whole hard drive (not just a partition), and did repair.
This led to the error from Disk Utility: "Error: Live file system repair is not supported." And after that, when I reboot with the Option key held down, the Windows partition no longer is even shown. I hope like h*ll it isn't gone, because I had spent some time getting things setup on it.
Someone, please help.

Trouble booting OS X. No luck with Disk Utility.

I restarted my three year old MBP earlier today. Before this period, everything was working fine and I had no problems.
I get to the grey screen with the spinning wheel. There's a loading bar that progresses a bit, but then stops.
I'm running boot camp and I'm able to boot into Windows, just not OSX.
I've tried booting into safe mode by holding down shift upon start up, but that didn't work. Afterwards I inserted my install disk and tried using the disk utility. I ran first aid and tried to repair the disk, but the program said "Invalid node structure" and then got stuck.
I'm not sure if my hard drive is dead or what. Unfortunately, I haven't made any back ups, and I have a few important files on the drive that I need access to asap (finals are coming up).

"Recover and/or erase files off the internal boot drive using manual drag and drop copy methods on the users folders of Music, Pictures etc."
How can I acess the internal drive just by setting up an external boot drive?
When you boot from a external drive, the internal drive is just like any other drive and the files can be accessed directly like any other external drive.
However that's provided your directory structure is intact, if not then you can use Data Rescue to read the files direclty off the platters.
If later Disk Warrior assists you later then fine, get the data off the drive before monkeying around with alternate solutions that can do further damage and ruin all chances of the data being recovered.
Most drive issues are caused by bad sectors, which in turn cause strange issues, the only way to cure them is a Zero Erase to map them off before laying precious data on them.
I don't have problems with my hard drives because I map off the bad sectors before using the drive or on a 6 month free space scheduale. Therefore I've rarely had a OS X, directory, program or drive issue requiring gimmicky software like DataRescue.
Reducing bad sectors effect on hard drives
I make backups and bootable clones so I don't need Data Rescue either.

I'd rather spend $99 on a extenral drive beforehand than on software + a hard drive afterwards!

Format External Drive with Disk Utility, Make it Windows Compatible

I have formatted my external drive using disk utility, and it works great on my Mac. But no Windows PC can read it, and I need to use it on Windows PCs. I tried formatting as MS-DOS FAT but that didn't work either. What can I do?
Thanks so much in advance.

I've run into the problem fairly regularly were I format a drive as FAT32 on the Mac, but Windows won't read it. I just reformat it from the Windows machine as FAT32. My Mac always reads and writes to it just fine, so it has never been a problem, just a minor mystery.
