Setup Failover in Windows 8.1

Is it possible to setup Windows 8.1 to failover to a second internal hard drive?
To be clear, I want to have 2 hard drives installed and only use 1 while the other is a complete copy of the first and if something happens to the first, the second will take over.
If so, how do I set it up?
Thanks in advance,
Josh

Hi,
You can mirror the system to achieve this goal, please see the detailed guide in the link below:

DHCP Failover in Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2 Environment

Hi Everyone,
We are trying to implement DHCP failover in our environment. Our IT Infrastructure consists of 4 – windows server 2008 R2 servers and 7 – Windows Server 2012 servers; 1 Main Office with 2 – DC’s and 9 branch/remote offices with one DNS server in every remote
office. All the DNS servers have 2 scopes defined on them for VOICE and Data with different Subnets.
What would be the best method to implement failover in 2008 R2 – Windows Failover Cluster or Split scope? And how to implement DHCP Failover in Windows Server 2012 R2?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
if you can choose between 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 than go with 2012 R2 it is easy to create a DHCP failover there. Actually that is one of the new features of Windows 2012.
With Server 2012 you setup your fist DHCP server with the scopes you want to setup. Than you install the second 2012 server with DHCP role and authorized. If you have done this you going back to your first server, where you already configured your scopes.
Now right click onto the scope you want to setup for failover and select 'Configure Failover'. You can than set it up as kind of split scope (Load balance Mode) or as real fail over setup (Hot Standby). In Load balance Mode you can configure the balance of
IP addresses between the both servers, like primary has 60% IP addresses and secondary has 40%.
With Server 2008 R2 the easiest configuration is split scope. But here it depends how many IP leases you will max have and if you can absorb if one of the server is going down. Lets say you have 50 DHCP leases max, than sure, set it up as split scope. But
if you have 200 DHCP clients, than I would go with failover cluster. At the end it depends on your environment.

I cant install an update to Firefox and cant remove the old version because a "Setup" pop up window "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" appears, reboots change nothing. What should I do?

A friend said she downloaded an update to Firefox (a version of 6, I believe) but didn't install the update, but the desktop icon was gone. The only way to launch Firefox was from the Programs folder. When clicking on the Firefox file, a "Setup" pop up window appeared stating "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Clicking "No" does not launch Firefox and clicking "Yes" reboots the computer, but nothing changes after restart and the same series of events keeps re-occurring. When clicking on the safe mode file, Firefox was launched. I went to "Add/Remove Programs" and found Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3. When attempting to remove the program, the same reboot "Setup" pop up appears, and the same non-results as previously described, persisted. I deleted all Firefox files and deleted the update set up .exe files. I again tried to remove the Firefox 3.6.3 program, with the same outcome as the previous attempt(s). I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the updated Firefox 7.0.1 set up .exe file, saved and ran it. When I reached the Setup Wizard page that prompts a "Standard" or "Custom" installation, I clicked on Standard and the same reboot pop up window appeared, again with no change after the reboot. So I have a Program installed (Firefox 3.6.3) with no files, and which can not be removed, an executed update/download .exe for Firefox 7.0.1 that can not be completely installed due to the failure to update by reboot problem. I'm out of ideas on how to try to resolve these problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Try a clean reinstall.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

HT5628 Trying to Install Windows 8.1 on my late 2013 21.5" iMac. After I Format the Bootcamp partition, Windows Setup tells me "Windows can't be installed to this disk because it is GPT partitioned." Huh?

Trying to Install Windows 8.1 on my late 2013 21.5" iMac. After I Format the Bootcamp partition, Windows Setup tells me "Windows can't be installed to this disk because it is GPT partitioned." Huh?

You must use the Windows formatter to format your Windows partition NTFS. Please be sure you select the Windows partition otherwise you might end up formatting your OS X partition NTFS.

Stuck on "Setup is starting windows"

Been at this for 3 days, no one at Apple support has encountered my problem, and haven't found a solution anywhere on the net. Here is the scenario:
Computer is a new iMac 20" 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4GB RAM, and using the included Boot Camp Assistant 2.0 that cam pre-installed.
After running Boot Camp, I chose to partition 32GB for the Windows installation. I have tried with 2 original personally purchased Microsoft authentic CDs (Microsoft just sent me the SP3 a few days ago). One is a new Windows XP Home Edition OEM Service Pack 3, the other is the same but Service Pack 2. Once Boot Camp prompts to insert the CD and I click to install, the iMac restarts, and I get the Windows Setup blue screen. Along the bottom I see how it starts loading all the preliminary drivers needed for installation, and then... and then.... "Setup is starting Windows" across the bottom white strip, and that's the end of it. I hear the CD stop spinning after 30 seconds, and nothing ever happens after that. No next screen to choose which partition to format or anything.
Both discs are in perfect conditions, no scratches or smudges or dirt. I tried using the newer SP3 disc on an older PC I have to see if it would reformat and re-install Windows on it and it worked perfectly. I didn't authenticate it since it will be probably scrapped later anyhow. So the disc works fine. A tech at Apple phone support advised me to try unplugging everything except the keyboard and mouse, that didn't work either.
I'm exhausted, and really have tried all my previous tech experience at no avail. Any kind sould who can actually respond with a workable solution will be greatly appreciated.
In God's Harmony,
RODDY

SOLVED
Well, I'd like to thank all of you for your input. After much prayer and extensive search, I was finally able to install Windows XP SP3 on the new iMac. I kept the 32GB partition created by Boot Camp 2.0, but I did 2 things differently when trying to do it this time. The apple keyboard (since it is so short, really Apple, you had a usable length with the Pro models 10 years ago) was connected to a 6 foot USB extension cable to reach the back of the monitor. This is because the iMac is on a computer desk with a pull-out desk to place the keyboard and mouse. But I disconnected the extension, and plugged it direct this time. I didn't leave the Windows XP SP3 disc in this time, I just restarted, and while it restarted I pressed and held the OPTION key. An icon of just the "Macintosh HD" came up on the screen, at which time I inserted the Windows CD, a few seconds later, an icon for the CD appeared to the right of the Mac HD icon. I selected the CD, and again it went through loading drivers getting ready for windows setup, same as before. I cried out to the Lord, and YESSSSSSSSS, it finally asked me if I wanted to format a windows partition! Needless to say, it went through the entire process fine.
I didn't need to update to Boot Camp 2.1, sp3 is working fine. Installed and ran a few programs, connected to the internet, and so forth. Although I left the network connection to the internet disabled, don't want to use the Windows side for the net, too many virus problems possible.
I shut down the computer, re-connected the USB extension cable, and when I went into the Windows side, guess what? The mouse and keyboard locked up completely. I connected the apple keyboard direct again, and then I had control again. Using the USB extension cable on the Windows side is the only problem, because the Mac side works fine with it. This will be a new post because I really need the extra length because of the distance. But thanks to all.

Frozen on "setup is starting windows" blue screen tried everything...

Hi, I have tried the bootcamp section but no reply so far. My situation is this - I have an intel imac running 10.4.9, boot camp/XP SP2... everything was running fine. I went away for a week... to my knowledge no one used my computer. I came back and ran os x, everything was fine... I rebooted into windows, black screen, no sign of windows at all... only the standard detection of hardware etc as usual but no windows. Rebooted, same again. Repeat 10 times, same every time. Tried safe mode, everything... never got any further. Booted into os x, fine... tried again in windows... nothing. Decided to format, removed the windows partition, started boot camp process from scratch... got up to the "setup is starting windows" part (after all files have been loaded from the xp cd to prepare for setup) - froze. Rebooted, tried again - froze at same point. Left it for an hour... no change. Have tried formatting completely, zeroing over entire HD, burned multiple fresh copies of windows... re-slipstreamed... never gets any further. Hardware testing using os x cd comes up clean...i have latest firmware... latest security upgrade from apple...tried with all peripherals unplugged... same same same.
At this point I'm thinking something to do with firmware maybe...since that is the only thing I have been unable to change. Im stumped. Have looked all over the discussion pages and none of the solutions people have been given have worked for me.
Any help would be so very much appreciated.
Thanks

K8T Mstr2-FAR7: "Setup is starting Windows" but never is

I am having a problem of reinstalling WXP x64 on SATA HDD. The installation process stalled after display of "Setup is starting Windows" was closed and black screen stayed. I tried it again with all peripheral devices, PCI cards, printer, etc removed except the monitor but to no avail.
I attempted to install WXP x64 on PATA for experimental purpose and on the way I hit F6 and loaded SATA drivers then the same problem repeated.
I installed WXP x64 on PATA without loading SATA drivers, then I installed SATA drivers but the SATA HDDs were indicated to be "Uninitialized"
I tried installing WXP x86 on SATA and found there was no such problem.
The WXP x64 shown in my sig was installed on K8T Master2-FAR. About a year ago the mobo was replaced with the present one and all HDDs were moved to the present mobo. After the move I confirmed all previously install OSes worked. But now I am having difficulty reinstalling WXP x64.
I used the same SATA drivers as were used when the OS was installed on the old mobo, and then tried a newer version downloaded from PlanetAMD. I checked MSI and VIA websites but could not find any for WXP x64.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Note that following overlaps my latest post to my other thread.
The following is what I did since:
I run WD's diagnostic utility(Vendor of SATA HDDs is Western Digital) but it returned "NO ERROR".
I installed Windows XP x86 on the SATA-1, partition #2 with no problem. Then the drive H: was all of a sudden, found to be healthy and all the data in it became visible!! There is no check disk occurred while booting the OS. I tried booting all other OSes and two of them did not cause CHKDSK, and other three did cause CHKDSK. I let them run CHKDSK but no error was reported. You may wonder what happened with D:, E:, F: and G:. Well, unfortunately I had already reformatted those partitions before I installed the Windows XP x86. Note that D:, E and G: were totally inaccessible while F: and H: were still accessible but most data were invisible. Thus, I can infer that data in F: could have reappeared if it was not reformatted.
What conclusion can be drawn from my ordeal? It appears that the SATA driver from VIA does not support Windows XP x64 to be installed on MS-9617. Which of the driver or the mobo is to be blamed? Since MS-9617 which is newer than MS-9130 which has no such problem, my MS-9617 is most probably defective. Any comment on the above is appreciated.
Why the data disappeared and then reappeared? I am unable to figure it out. One may say that CHKDSK when once run just fixed it. But it repeatedly happend and repeatedly reported a lot of errors, seemingly be never ending, so that I reset to end it. Since then I cancelled CHKDSK every time when booting OS except after I noticed that the data reappeared.
I would appreciate it if anyone provide possible explanation as to how it could have happend.

After the assembly of the above parts, I loaded xp-64 with no problems. However, contrary to what MS states, not all applications that run on xp-pro run on xp-64 so I attempted to load xp-pro. I did get it to load once and upgraded the bios from 1.1 to 1.4. I re-partitioned & reformated the drive and attempted to start over. I did get it to load once but there were driver errors related to the NVIDIA chipset. When I attempted to use live update to update the drivers, I got errors and the OS failed. After re-partitioning & reformating the drive, attempts to load XP Pro failed as it hung on "Setup is starting Windows". Online tech support recommended trying 1 of the sticks of ram, then the other which didn't resolve the problem. Then they suggested that I RMA it. As it took longer than my friend was willing to wait, I purchased another board (new bios) and it hangs on "Setup is starting Windows". MS lists this as a driver problem. Any suggestions as to what I might be missing?

Same problems whether RAID is disabled or enabled.
I'm going to try an IDE drive today though I don't understand how that will help with the drive/chipset issues that were experienced the one time that I did get it to load.
I also don't understand why XP-64 loads without problems while XP Pro doesn't when according to MSI, either OS should work with this system.
According to Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;310760) when loading XP on a system results in the system hanging at "setup is starting windows"
An incorrect mass-storage device (such as a SCSI or IDE controller) driver is being loaded, or the driver was not written for Windows and is not compatible. Contact the device's manufacturer or download the latest driver for the mass-storage device.
(I used the drivers on the FD included with the MB.)
There is a device connected to your mass-storage device that is preventing Windows from being installed. Remove any devices (such as scanners, tape drives, removable drives, and so on) from the mass-storage device controller. If the computer is IDE-based, verify that you have the master and slave designations set properly. If the mass-storage controller is SCSI-based, verify that the termination and bus speed is set properly.
(Only "devices connected are the SATA HD, CD & DVD which are jumpered properly correctly, PS2 KB & MS.)
The computer does not have the latest BIOS revision. Contact the computer's manufacturer or check the manufacturer's Web site. Many manufacturers have updated their BIOS revisions to properly support Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).
(The first MB was 1.1 which I did flash the 1 time that I was able to load XP Pro. The second board has 1.4.)
An ACPI Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) is being used during Setup. Force the use of a non-ACPI HAL during Setup.

Error on setup failover cluster with Windows 2008 R2 enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 (also with SP1)

Hi!
The setup process fails with this error:
Configuration error code:
0x1C2074D8@1216@1
Configuration error description: There was an error setting private property 'VirtualServerName' to value 'CLUSTER02' for resource 'SQL Server'. Error: Value does not fall within the expected range.
I have found some hints by google, but nothing really helpfull.
Has anyone had a simular problem when installing SQL server 2008 R2?
All posts I found are about sql server 2008 (no R2!).
The cluster itself is working (storage, network, msdtc, quorum...).
Any hints?

Hi Andreas Plachy,
Please make sure that the Virtual Server Name ‘CLUSTER02’ is unique on the network. In addition, are there any resources named ‘SQL Server’ on the Windows cluster? If that is the case, you may need to rename the related resources to avoid conflicting with
SQL Server, and try again.

Setup NLB in windows 2008 r2

Hi folks,
We have small farm 2 APP and 1 DB(development farm).I need to do setup NLB to 2APP(WFE) running server.
My query is can i do this NLB setup in existing server?
or first need to uninstall sharepoint then install NLB?
What are the steps i should follow?.

You should be able to install and configure Windows NLB without having to uninstall SharePoint. However, you only need NLB for the WFE servers as the service application model should ensure the APP servers load balance themselves.
This blog post may help:

\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe with Windows Vista Error

I added the first Vista client to an SBS 2003, SP1 domain. Until now, all clients were WinXP, SP2. Office 2003 is installed on the XP clients, and the Vista client, which may not be pertinent to this problem.
As is normal, "\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s SERVER" is executed when a user logs on to any domain client. On the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution. The title of the KB is, "Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update."
When I run the SBS2003SP1-KB926505-X86-ENU.EXE fix, I get the error: "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack, or it requires a more recent service pack. For more information, see the systems requirements on the download page."
I installed Windows Server 2003 SP2 and run the KB926505 fix, but I get the same error "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack" After a reboot of te SBS server the same problem on the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution.
The problem is Windows Vista Business, because all windows XP clients have no problem at all.

PNP,
You do not say whether if you accept the permission dialog whether the setup continues or not, but the short answer to the question revolves around UAC.
Remember that EVERY user (except the actual Administrator account) has only Standard user rights regardless of group. When a task that requires Admin rights is executed, one of three things will happen: 1) If you are THE Administrator, then your task will continue. 2) If you have Admin rights, you will be prompted that a process is trying to use elevated rights and ask for permission, or 3) If you are a Standard user, you will either be denied flatly or prompted to supply credentials. Which of these happen depend on GPO settings, but the default is to prompt.
In any event, I believe that this is what you are running into, and is one of the big feature improvements in Vista. Yes, it can be a bit annoying (Try deleting an "All Users" icon from the Start Menu!) but is there to place one more barrier between virus and malware writers and your OS.
If it's TOO annoying to bear, you can turn off UAC by going into your profile and disabling it. (It requires Admin rights, of course. ) It is not recommended as you do a very effective job or nutering the Vista Security Model by doing so.
If it, of course, your choice. we IT Admins have a lot more issues with this than the standard user, but for me, I gladly take the tradeoff because I worry a lot less about those few I HAVE to give Admin rights to.
Good luck!

Laserjet pro 200 color mfp m276nw network folder setup on PC Windows 7

I am trying and trying and trying to setup my Network Folder Setup and I either get the message that there is an error with the file path or an error with my username.
I DO NOT have a password for my username.
I have copied and pasted the file path \\OWNER-PC\Scanning
The file is definately set-up for sharing and all permissions are enabled.
I am not putting in a PIN at this time.
Can anyone help me to setup this network folder?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @Username57 ,
I understand that you are having issues setting up the network folder. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I have provided a document with the steps for setting up the scan to network folder.
Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder) for HP Lase...
It is usually a issue with the Network Path for the network folder created.
Create a folder anywhere on the computer.
Right click the folder and left click properties, select the Sharing tab, click the Share button, select who you want to share the folder with or everyone. On the same Sharing tab copy the Network Path. (example \\envy1730\users \Envy\desktop\networkfolder
In the embedded web server for the printer go to the Scan tab, select network folder setup, paste in the path for the network folder. Go through the wizard.
If those steps don't work then follow steps 1, 2, 3, to resolve this issue to try and get the network folder and path.
Step one: Make sure that the computer user account is password protected.
1.Click the Windows icon, then click Control Panel.
2.Click User Accounts, then select the account you used to log into the computer.
3.Click Change your Windows password, then find the user account you used to log into the computer.
•If the user account is password protected, continue to the next step.
•If the user account is not password protected, click Create a password for your account to create a password, and then continue to the next step.
Step two: Define the network location
1.Click the Windows icon, then click Control Panel.
2.Click Network and Sharing Center.
3.In the View your active networks section, click Public network under your network name. The Set Network Location window opens.
4.Select Home Network or Work Network, then click Close.
Step three: Make sure that the network sharing and discovery options are correct
1.Open the Network and Sharing Center window.
2.Click Choose homegroup and sharing options.
3.In the Share libraries and printers section, select Documents.
4.In the Other homegroup actions section, click Change advanced sharing settings.
5.In the Advanced sharing settings window, make sure that the following network options are turned on:
•Network discovery
•File sharing
•Public folder sharing (read and write access)
•Password protected sharing
6.Click Save changes.
7.Your computer network is now successfully set to complete the Scan and Fax to Network. Folder or Digital Fax to Network Folder Wizard.
One user on another post had to do the following:
There was a problem in the "advanced sharing settings window". They turned it off, the option which is after the 128 encryption, I mean the "password protected sharing".
Please let me know the outcome.
Happy New Years!
Thank You.

Where can I download Airport Express (11g) Setup Assistant for Windows 7?

My AEx (11g) has stopped connecting.
On my PC, the AEx Setup Assistant and Utility have disappeared - I need to download these for this old 11g AEx.
I run Optus cable <-> Optus modem <-> Linksys wireless modem <-> Windows 7 PC.
I use AEx to play iTunes music on a remote system.
thank you in advance for any help
regards
Chris

This is what appears for me when I click the link above in my post.
It works fine on 3 wireless devices that I just tested. You might want to restart your computer, or maybe check the Firewall settings on the PC. If you are using Microsoft Security Essentials, it may be blocking the connection.
Not sure what else to suggest. Maybe try the raw address: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
