  • Linux Diagnostic Tool for Mcafee Appliances
    Linux Diagnostic Tool for McAfee Appliances Overview This document provides information about the Linux Diagnostic Tool (LDT), including instructions for obtaining and running the LDT. The diagnostic tests are performed only if McAfee Support requests them, in situations where they suspect the appliance has encountered a problem. The LDT checks the status and integrity of any McAfee® hardware appliance based on an Intel platform. The LDT-getlogs command collects information from the hardware components. McAfee Support then uses the information to evaluate the health of the appliance. The LDT does not repair any errors, nor does it announce any conclusions. When you supply the resulting LDT log .zip file to McAfee Support, they will use the data to diagnose any problems. LDT can also provide the mechanism to update RAID and disk firmware. The LDT can be run on a live system (online) or in its own environment (offline). The online mode should only be used with the guidance of Support. The offline mode requires a reboot of the appliance, but can be run on any supported hardware appliance. • LDT-getlogs-ZIP Version X.X => online method => used on running appliance • LDT-getlogs-ISO Version X.X => offline method => used with LDT environment Using the LDT Run the LDT only as directed by McAfee Support. We recommend using a USB flash drive because you can save system and hard disk logs directly to the USB drive. You can then share the USB drive with McAfee Support. The CD saves the logs to RAM. You can view them, but you cannot copy them off the disk to share.

  • Download Windows 10.To Usb How to Run Windows 10 from a USB Drive
    download windows 10.to usb How to Run Windows 10 From a USB Drive. Loading and running Windows 10 from a USB drive is a handy option when you're using a computer saddled with an older version of Windows. You run Windows 10 on your own computer, but now you're using another PC outfitted with an older operating system. If you prefer to use the newest version of Windows, though, there's a way to run Windows 10 directly through a USB drive. You'll need a USB flash drive with at least 16GB of free space, but preferably 32GB. You'll also need a license to activate Windows 10 on the USB drive. That means you have to either purchase one or use an existing one that is associated with your digital ID. You can then use a Windows USB utility to set up the USB drive with Windows 10. Once you're done, you'll be able to boot up off the drive to launch Windows 10. The major downside of booting from a USB drive is that Windows 10 will run slower than it does off your hard drive. But if you're in a pinch you can at least work with the OS and access different apps this way. Microsoft once offered its own tool called Windows to Go, which could generate a bootable Windows USB drive with the Enterprise and Education versions of Windows 10. However, the company has stopped development on that program and no longer updates it. Instead, you can turn to two utility programs, WinToUSB and Rufus.

  • Uefi Bootable Windows 7 Iso Download
    uefi bootable windows 7 iso download What Is the Windows Boot Manager (BOOTMGR)? Windows Boot Manager loads from the volume boot code, which is part of the volume boot record. It helps your Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista operating system start. Boot Manager—often referenced by its executable name, BOOTMGR —eventually executes winload.exe, the system loader used to continue the Windows boot process. Instructions in this article apply to Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista. Where Is Windows Boot Manager Located? Configuration data required for Boot Manager rests in the Boot Configuration Data store, a registry-like database that replaced the boot.ini file used in older versions of Windows like Windows XP. The BOOTMGR file itself is both read-only and hidden. It is located in the root directory of the partition marked as Active in Disk Management. On most Windows computers, this partition is labeled as System Reserved and doesn't obtain a drive letter. If you don't have a System Reserved partition, BOOTMGR is probably located on your primary drive, which is usually C: . Can You Disable Windows Boot Manager? You cannot remove the Windows Boot Manager. However, you can reduce the time that it waits for you to answer which operating system you want to start by choosing the default operating system and then lowering the timeout time, basically skipping the Windows Boot Manager altogether. Use the System Configuration ( msconfig.exe ) tool to modify the default behavior. Be careful when using the System Configuration tool — you might make unnecessary changes that can just cause more confusion in the future.
