PXI 8187 hard disk capcity display

In the BIOS of the controller the 30 GB hard disk space is displayed only as 27119 MB or 26.24 GB? however actually the specified hard disk size is 30 GBwhy?

Naru,
This is because hard drive manufacturers have a different definition for the "megabyte" or "gigabyte" than computer scientists. In strict computer terms, a megabyte is defined as 2^20 bytes and a gigabyte is defined as 2^30 (kilobytes are 2^10, and terabytes are 2^40). Hard drive manufacturers, however, consider one billion bytes to be a gigabyte and also specify the unformatted drive space. Therefore:
A "30GB" drive contains 30,000,000,000 bytes... which in computer terms is 30e9 / 2^30 = 27.94 GB (and some additional space is "lost" due to formatting.)
I hope that this helps to answer your question!
Thanks,

  • How to read images from local hard disk and display in tile layout

    Dear Folks,
    I have 100 images in a folder @ local hard disk (E drive).
    I would like to display them in Tile view of 3X3.
    I have options (Radio buttons) to chnage the layout at runtime to 4X4 , 5#5 and 6X6.
    Also when the change in layout happens, I wanted to make use of backgroudLoading of image view so that user do not want to wait till the entire tile loads.
    How do I achive this requiremet?
    Sample code if any of great help. Thanks in advance.

    1. So I would like to know which is the {color:#3366ff}best way to load local images in ImageView{color}.I'm no expert, but is there a reason that you are using Swing to do the loading?
    2. secondly, currently the system displays all images only after the completion of creating all images. {color:#3366ff}How to display images as and when they are created.{color} So that the user has a feeling that the images are loading.JavaFX Image class let you display a lightweight placeholder, and you can bind the progress to some kind of visual indicator. I don't think you can display an image that is partially loaded.

  • Boot device not found. "Hard disk not exist". windows not booting

    Product: HP G72-110SA
    OS: Win7
    two days ago, I was installing updates on my computer and when it was about to restart, it froze. After waiting for 10 minutes, I had to turn it off by pressing the off button. From then on, the computer turns on but shows a message "Boot device not found".
    I have tried all the BIOS tests that I could find on the net for the hard disk, eg: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443465&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en&la...
    This gives me a "Hard disk not exist" error. I tried resetting the BIOS, that didn't work. I tried taking out and putting back in the battery, the memory and the hard disk. Still no luck.
    I then booted ubuntu from cd on the computer. It works just fine, including the internet etc EXCEPT the HDD is still not detected.
    I had some pretty important stuff and no back up, so would appreciate if someone can help me get back the data. If not, even if I know its just a HDD failure and not a motherboard/BIOS problem, it will be a relief as its probably fixable.
    Thanks

  • Beeping and hard disk failure

    My probook 6470b cannot boot again. Always prompting for memory and hard disk test. Memory passed the test but the hard disk test displays the following;
    SMART CHECK: NOT INSTALLED
    SHORT DST: .NOT INSTALLED.
    Pls help

    Hi:
    It appears from the information that you provided that the hard drive has completely failed and needs to be replaced.
    If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP technical support and file a warranty support ticket to get the drive replaced.
    You will also need to have HP send you a set of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system, programs and drivers that came with the notebook.

  • My hp mini 110-3518cl is displaying hard disk not exist.

    Hp mini 110-3518cl windows7 starer is displaying hard disk not exist

    Your friend did the pretty much standard procedure to see if any files can be read and retrieved from the failed hdd. There are data recovery companies out there but they aren't cheap. It is always advisable to have an external usb hdd for backup.
    All hdds fail after time ,though laptop hdds seem to have a higher/faster failure rate due to the confined case and extra heat. SATA hdds seem to die much faster than the older Ide type drives in laptops and desktops from what I have seen.
    Not uncommon to see posts about a laptop hdd dying after 1-1 1/2 years,though I have been fortunate with mine which is 3 yrs old. I do use a laptop cooling pad under mine which may contribute to it's longer life.

  • Hard Disk Not Exist message is displayed on cq10-400

    Hard Disk Not Exist message is displayed on cq10-400

    Sounds like the hard drive may have failed. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least as large a capacity as the original to use HP Recovery Discs to reinstall Windows. For instance if you have a 320gb hdd you could use a 500gb but not a 250gb hdd.

  • QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

    Hi!
    I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
    a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
    b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
    This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
    c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
    This is my feedback.
    Thanks!!!!! :)

    I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
    The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
    Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
    Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
    1 - In Inspector > Transitions;  use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
    2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
    This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

    There are 2 ways of running a test on your hard drive . One way is through BIOS (F10) and other is through HP System diagnostics(F2). How exactly was test initiated from your end ?
    The SMART imminent failure for Hard drive is an indication that your Hard drive is on verge of failure or might fail anytime depending on usage. I would recommend you to backup your files immediately because your hard drive might die at any moment and I'm pretty sure its needs to be replaced.
     Kindly check the instructions over here in order to run the test for your hard drive

  • Display shivers on Hard Disk activity

    Hello all,
    The problem I have has been discussed here before. The display of my eMac shivers when the Hard Disk is accessed. The problems started after I replaced the IVAD cable to fix the raster shift problem (which I do not experience anymore). So far I have read on this forum that more people have experienced the same problem. But what I am interested in is a fix for this problem! It seems to be some kind of shielding problem. Could this also be related to the IVAD cable? I do believe that simply adding shielding at the right place should fix the problem, but where? Maybe anyone else has already experimented on finding a fix for this problem and is willing to share any ideas.

    4GB files on a 32-bit kernel and you run into what I call a bottleneck.
    More RAM helps; and using dual RAID0's also allows for more I/O.
    2GB left over falls into the anemia category.
    The system drive from other experiments, tests, and benchmarks, does a lot more than just sit there and feed up applications.
    And just as a fast SSD or 10K drive, or setting those up in RAID0, offers 240-500MB/sec, your memory bandwidth also plays a role.
    When working with 2GB files in CS2 and later, arrays for every volume + whatever RAM you can throw at it helps.
    Some operations are still single-thread and hold everything up, when you export or save or write to disk RAID makes up for some of that. A file is written out as temp file, old file is renamed, and when done deleted, while the directory and index are updated. And Spotlight rather than wait for things to be done, CAN get in the way while you work.
    I don't know the full gist, but back in G3/G4, SCSI arrays made a big enough difference that I splurged on the full setup (two dual channel controllers driving 15K and 10K drives). And without? it was a real tortoise.
    If you think 2GB is 'enough' to run OS X alone, let alone Safari, iTunes, Pages or office apps, let alone any pro apps or ones that need some RAM... CS4+ should have an 8GB system.
    And the RAM needs of a Mac Pro have just never been as low or comparable to your desktop or laptop system.
    But stay with 4GB if you don't mind.

  • Create PXI Format Hard Drive Disk

    Hello, 
     Can i use a "Create PXI Format Hard Drive Disk" created from LV 8.5.1 ver for formating the PXI RT controller which is having LV RT 7.1.
    Regards
    Aks
    (Appreciate answers by giving KUDOS)
    Hit the stars.............. sky is not the limit.

    Hi,
    I think you can, but you'll need LV (RT) 7.1 on the host PC to install LV RT 7.1 on the PXI controller using MAX after formatting it.
    (Unless you have an image created by the RT replication toolkit, but then other problems might arise...)

  • Display be tuen off , external hard disk also fall into sleep

    I use late-2013 15-inch MBPR with Mac OS 10.9.2 .
    In energy saver,I setted turn display off after 1 min, and unchecked put hard disk to sleep when possible.
    I want display be turn off but the other jobs keep working.
    Today when I copy data from one external HDD to another,
    I found that when display be turn off,  the external HDD also fall into sleep, and copy job be stop.
    How can I set external not fall into sleep after display be turn off。

    When you write to a hard disk it uses a lot more power in quite large surges.
    Its very unlikely that the hub would have sufficient power to supply this requirement, so although the drive may appear to be spinning, you cannot write to it.
    This would seem like the most likely reason.
    I assume you can read files that you have placed on the drive?
    The USB port on the hub is very slow, so you are better copying the files using you laptop, and using the hub for read-only.
    This should work for pictures and audio, but it is unlikely to be fast enough for video.
    I have a USB memory stick connected to mine, purely for swapping files between computers.

  • Pxie 8108 does not boot with new hard disk

    Hi
    I'm currently using PXIe 8108 with PXIe-1062Q.
    The previous hard disk was borken so I had to install a new hard disk.
    The new hard disk is fommatted as NTFS format, and it is currently mounted on 8108.
    Unfortunately I don't have recovery disk avaialble so I'm trying to install Windows 7 on empty hard disk.
    When you boot, the PWK OK LED light is on all the time, DRIVE orange LED is on for few seconds only when I turn the switch on.
    Labview RT switches are all off, I cleared CMOS many times from the board but, the screen shows nothing.
    I have tried use my DVI monitor with other device as well, and it worked so there is no problem with the monitor.
    In addition, I tried to go to window safe mode by pressing F8 or Del it didn't work, so I see nothing on the screen when its booted up.
    I tried to put as much information I can it will be very appreciated if you can help me with this issue please.

    You said you can't get into Windows safe mode, have you installed Windows on the hard drive?  Are you able to get into the BIOS for the controller?  
    If you aren't able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM.  If you are comfortable installing RAM and you have some extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try swapping out the RAM.
    Was your hard drive damaged through some event, or did it just stop working?
