Windows 8.1 erasing and changing files with chkdsk on external drives. Unnaceptable.

I work for IT support for a small production studio.
They use Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for they workstations and linux on the rendering farm.
There is an automated system with a nas to make backups of the production assets and renderings.
They have ESATA ports on all the wokstations and use external hard drives to make backups of users files, each user has the responsability of make his /her own backup of personal files (or files from his computer that belong to production like photoshop
patterns, brushes, licenses, rendering tests, plugins, etc).
A week ago the main hard drive of one of the workstations failed.
No problem. New, hard drive, fresh windows install, activation, production software, licenses from license server.
But at the time of restoring the files, the external hard drive of the user contained only old files, and some new but not all. At first time, the user was blamed, but hw swears that he backedup his files. Two days later another user complained that is disk
contained only the old files and his past backup was lost. I was called for help.
After several tests i was able to reproduce the problem:
Windows 8.1: Plug an external disk, make backups, copy new files erase old files, etc, eject the disk using safe removal.
Windows 7: Plug THAT DISK, erase files, copy new files, make backups etc.
Now here comes the problem: PLUG THAT DISK ON ANY COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS 8.1. A few seconds later windows reports that the disk had problems but some corrections were made and everything is ok. IT'S NOT. Any file copied from the prevous backup
is erased (or now it has zero size) and previously erased files are there again. Some of these files are corrupted now but windows says that the disk is OK.
-All the Workstations are up to date with a WSUS (as far as i know).
-The external hard disks are OK (even i used a new formated disk attached to an itnernal port to reproduce the problem.
Moving the backup disk between Windows 7 workstations is ok.
Moving the backup disk between Windows 8.1 workstations sometimes triggers the problem.
Moving the backup disk from a windows 7 workstation to a Windows 8.1 workstation ALWAYS triggers the problem.
Windows 8.1 automatically triggers chkdsk and autorepair the disk a few seconds after insertion unless the user has the disk busy, in that case pops an alert for resterting the computer, and again erases new files and undelete old ones.
First time in my life i see windows doing something like that to a healthy external hard drive.
The event viewer is filled with chkdsk errors like the 26226 and 26228.
We need a solution and i need an explanation of why this behaviour.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

Hi Artag,
I want to know what kind of hard disk is that ? A GPT format or MBR format?
According to your description, the GPT format hard disk might not be detected by a computer with a MBR format hard disk, vice versa, so, I suggest to check the disk format by plugining the hard disk to a bootable Windows 7 system, then:
In the Disk Management console, on the View menu, point to Top, and then click Disk List. The upper pane displays a list of disk drives that specifies the partition style in the last column.
The details about the get disk format steps and information about GPT format, you can find it below:

Besides, a screenshot will be helpful for solving this.

When I import TIF and JPG files with same metadata, only the TIF files are imported. How can I change that?

I have imported and renamed TIF and JPG files with the same metadata re recording date and time. Only the TIF files are imported, the JPG files remain unimproved. Thus I have in the Finder e. g. 13 image files in the same folder in which Lightroom only finds 10 files. Any ideas for resolution welcome!
Thanks

Turn off the option Preferences > General > Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos. Then do an import again. It appears that, in this instance, LR considers a TIFF to be a "raw" file.

Why do you feel you need to do this? That is such a 'Windows thing' to do!
And secondly does RAM memory cards go bad
Very rarely, but nothing in life is guaranteed (except death and taxes)! If you purchased RAM from a reputable source like Crucial or OWC it will carry a lifetime warranty.

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

Yes. The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

It usually means some system files are missing or corrupted. Reinstalling OS X is the fix:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Dng and tif file with the same name, in the same Lightroom folder

If I have both a dng and tif file with the same name, in the same Lightroom folder, I can only see and access one of them. Is there a setting I can change in order to see both of them?

If you can only see one of them, which one can you see?
Was the DNG and the TIF imported at the same time?
How are you trying to "access" the files?
The more details you can provide, the more likely it is that someone will be able to help you.

Can I connect to a windows server to veiw and download files to mark and return to server??

Can I connect to a windows server to download and view files and return to server???

I use the FTP on the Go Pro app to do just this. I don't know what kind of servers I connect to though but I've not had any problems connecting.
I connect and select a file. I update the file, then tap save. The file is uploaded back to the server and the original version is ved just in case I might need it.

I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?
Thanks,
upsjdris

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

How do I create a product or item database so I can search fr the product and its files with hte pro

How do I create a product or item database so I can search for the product and its files with the products name or four digit code

Ok so I made some progress on this. I have figured out, that I can add a chained "add to cart" to certain items, then when they click the button for Buy now, it will add both items to the cart. However, this would require me to manually build each product page and generate a custom button for each one with both product IDs in it.
Can anyone offer help on how to put some JS in that would append a second function to the onclick function that BC Generates dynamically?
For the products that require a set up fee, I would assume I would add in to either the product templates or in to the item description some JS that would find the onclick of the buynow button and append a second function to also add to cart the setup fee product. The end result being code that looks like this:
<input type="submit" class="productSubmitInput" onclick="AddToCart(188536,6314368,'',4,'','',true);AddToCart(188536,6314367,'',4,'','',tr ue);return false;" value="Buy Now" name="AddToCart_Submit" />
Except of course, the product ID on the first AddToCart would be the main product with the second one being the one appended.
Does any of that make sense? lol

How can I upload and download files with uiXML?

I want to implement upload and download files with uiXML. In some previouse topic I got answare to look in AbstractPageBroker class in JavaDOC. I did it but this is a very-very little resolution description for this problem. I think for developers YOU (UIX Team) must in very quick time to put some examples on the NET because this is a nice technology but with adecvate samplase and developers guide it will be dead very soon. I digging this forum for information. I see many many people have same problems about this technology. They like it and want to use and try but documentation is very very poor.
WE WANT EXAMPLES and separate forum for UIX. I think it deserve this.
If You have any more detailed documentation would be nice to put on the net. I have uixdemo.zip file but this is in very early fase of development. I downloaded it before fwe months. And now I can't find it anymore on youre site. What happend?

Attila -
I went back and re-read the JavaDoc for AbstractPageBroker and MultipartFormItem and put together the following sample PageBroker based on the description from the JavaDoc:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.BajaContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.Page;
import oracle.cabo.share.util.MultipartFormItem;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.xml.UIXPageBroker;
* An extension of UIXPageBroker which stores all uploaded
* files in the temporary directory.
public class UploadingPageBroker extends UIXPageBroker
* Override of AbstractPageBroker.doUploadFile() which saves
* all files to the temporary directory.
protected String doUploadFile(
BajaContext context,
Page page,
MultipartFormItem item) throws IOException
// Get the location of the file to create in the temp directory.
// Of course a real application probably wouldn't upload files to
// the temp directory - just using this contrived example to
// demonstrate basic uploading support.
File file = _getFile(context, item);
if (file != null)
// Create a FileOutputStream. Of course, a real application would
// probably want to buffer the output
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
// Write out the file
item.writeFile(out);
// Close up the output stream
out.close();
// We can return a value here to add to the PageEvent
// if so desired.
return null;
// Gets the File for the item that we are uploading
private File _getFile(
BajaContext context,
MultipartFormItem item
// Get the file name
String name = item.getFilename();
// If we don't have a file, bail...
if (name == null)
return null;
// Get the path to the temporary directory
File dir = _getTempDir();
// Return the File object
return new File(dir, name);
// Returns the path to the temprary directory
private File _getTempDir()
// Get the temporary directory from the ServletContext
ServletConfig sConfig = getServlet().getServletConfig();
ServletContext sContext = sConfig.getServletContext();
return (File)sContext.getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
In this sample, each uploaded file is simply saved in the temporary directory. You'll want to replace the code that creates the FileOutputStream for the uploaded file to use whatever OutputStream makes sense for your application.
BTW - I used the following UIX page to test this out:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller">
<content>
<pageLayout xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
<contents>
<form name="uploadForm" usesUpload="true">
<contents>
<fileUpload name="uploadedFile"/>
<submitButton name="upload" text="Upload"/>
</contents>
</form>
</contents>
</pageLayout>
</content>
</page>
Hope this sample helps with the uploading part of your question. I'll see if I can provide a download sample in a later post.

How can I get Time Machine to only backup new and changed files?

Time machine is backing up more than just new and changed files and is filling up my back up disk too fast. How can I change it so that it will only back up the new or changed files instead of the whole drive? I used to have my backups go back months, but now it is backing up only a couple days back, since there is no room left on my back up hard drive. Each back up is like 400 gigs, instead of just the amount of the changed or new files.
Thanks for any ideas or help!

Thank you Eric! I did go look at this info and tried to do a full reset of TM and I am still getting full backups of my HD instead of just new/changed files. The weird thing is that I have 9 BU's from over the last 2 days and they all seem to be around 415 gigs and my backup HD is only 750 gigs! I don't get it. It shows that I have around 75 gigs of free space on that 750 gig drive. It doesn't make sense.
So I am having the same problems even after doing the full reset of TM. I am using Mavericks 10.9.5 which they don't talk about in this info.
Does anyone have any further ideas on this? I don't understand how I could possibly have that many full BU's on my HD that is only 750 gigs.
Thank you,
kt

Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10?

Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10? We have a remote desktop farm setup with 2012 R2 servers and we are publishing some web links that only work with IE10. As a result, we need to
downgrade the remote desktop servers to IE10. I have a feeling that this isn't possible, but if I could get a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

Hi,
Agreed with DonPick.
Internet Explorer 11 is preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
