Note Brink Running a check disk may take a bit depending on the size of the selected hard disk. For faster and better results, do not use your computer while check disk is checking for errors. You will have a choice to scan only, scan for and attempt to fix errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or scan for and attempt to fix errors and recovery of bad sectors. Tip Solutions to Common Check Disk (chkdsk) Issues in Windows 7 z The Chkdsk.exe program does not start correctly on a Windows 7-based computer z Incorrect free disk space displayed after running check disk OPTION ONE To Run Chkdsk from Drive's Properties Page 1. Open the Start Menu and click on the Computer button on the right dark side. 2. Right click the hard disk drive that you want to check, and click on Properties. (see screenshot below) http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html 5/28/2014 Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums Page 2 of 9 3. Click on the Tools tab, and click on the Check now button under Error-checking. (see screenshot below) 4. You will now see this window. Do the steps below for what you would like to do. (see screenshot below) http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html 5/28/2014 Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums Page 3 of 9 5. To Only Scan the Drive for Errors NOTE: This will just give you a report if there are any drive errors or not, and will not attempt to fix them. A) Leave both boxes unchecked and click on the Start button. (see screenshot below step 4) 6. To Only Scan and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors NOTE: This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the hard disk itself, and it can take much longer to complete. A) uncheck the Automatically fix file system errors box. (see screenshot below step 4) B) Check the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors box. 7. To Only Scan and Automatically Attempt to Fix Errors NOTE: This will automatically attempt to repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects. A) Check the Automatically fix file system errors box. (see screenshot below step 4) B) Uncheck the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors box. 8. To Scan and Automatically Attempt to Fix Errors and Recover Bad Sectors NOTE: This will scan for both file errors and physical errors (steps 6 and 7). It will then attempt to repair problems with files and folders, and recover physical errors. A) Check the Automatically fix file system errors box. (see screenshot below step 4) B) Check the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors box. 9. Click on the Start button, and do either step 10 or 11 below depending on if the drive is currently in use or not. (see screenshot below step 4) 10. If the selected hard disk is not in use, then you will see check disk start checking the disk now. (see screenshot below) A) When the scan is complete, you will then see results similar to this. Click on Close. (see screenshots below) http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html 5/28/2014 Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums Page 4 of 9 B) Click on OK. (see screenshot below step 3) C) Stop, you're done. 11. If the selected hard disk is in use, then click on the Schedule disk check button. (see screenshot below) NOTE: If the hard disk that you selected in step 2 is in use (for example, the C: drive or partition that contains Windows 7), you'll be prompted to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer. Otherwise you will not see this window below. A) Restart the computer. B) During startup, you will only have 10 seconds to press a key to cancel the Disk Check from steps 7 or 8. (see screenshot below) Warning Once the Disk Check scan starts, DO NOT STOP the scan to prevent possible damage to the data on your hard drive. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html 5/28/2014 Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums Page 5 of 9 C) When the scan is complete you will see a report similar to this below briefly before the computer automatically restarts. OPTION TWO To Run Chkdsk from Command Prompt NOTE: The chkdsk command can be used on a FAT32 or NTFS formatted disk. 1. Open a elevated command prompt or a command prompt at startup. 2. In the command prompt, type in the following command below followed by one or more switches that you would like to use below with a space between each switch and press Enter. NOTE: For example, the most common command to run chkdsk on your C: drive is: chkdsk C: /F chkdsk [drive letter]: [switches with space inbetween] http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html 5/28/2014 Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums Page 6 of 9 Switches that you can use in the command: z /F - Fixes errors on the disk. The disk must be locked. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive, a message appears that asks you if you want to check the drive the next time you restart the computer. For example, on the C: drive. z /V - Displays the name of each file in every directory as the disk is checked. z /R - Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. The disk must be locked. /r includes the functionality of /f, with the additional analysis of physical disk errors. z /L:[size in KB] - Can only be used with a NTFS disk. Changes the chkdsk log file size to the number size in KB you type. If you omit the size parameter, typing /L by itself will display the current chkdsk log file size. For example, to have the default 65536 KB log file for the C: drive, you would type: chkdsk C: /F /L:65536 z /X - Forces the volume to dismount first, if necessary. All open handles to the drive are invalidated. /x also includes the functionality of /f. z /I - Can only be used with a NTFS disk. Performs a less vigorous check of index entries, which reduces the amount of time required to run chkdsk. z /C - Can only be used with a NTFS disk. Does not check cycles within the folder structure, which reduces the amount of time required to run chkdsk. z /B - Can only be used with a NTFS disk. Clears the list of bad clusters on the volume and rescans all allocated and free clusters for errors. /b includes the functionality of /r. Use this parameter after imaging a volume to a new hard disk drive.

  • Attachment D to Adm. Memo No. 004 INSTRUCTIONS FOR
    Attachment D to Adm. Memo No. 004 INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORMATTING A DISKETTE Formatting is the preparation of diskettes for storage of information. There are several different versions of the format command that can be used. The version that you use depends upon the type of diskette and the type of disk drive in which the diskette is being formatted. In order for us to be able to read the Tuition Grant diskettes you send, the diskettes should be properly formatted. Below is a table that identifies the more commonly used diskette types and disk drive specifications. The correct version of the format command will appear in the row for your diskette type and drive type. The format command uses the parameter “d:” to indicate the disk drive designation. For example, your 5 ¼ drive may be the “A:” drive. Instead of typing “FORMAT D:”, replace the drive designation with “A:” and type “FORMAT A:”. To verify that the disks were formatted correctly, perform the CHKDSK command on the newly formatted diskette. The format for the CHKDSK command is “CHKDSK d:”. When the command returns the disk information, compare it to the information in the fourth column of the table that corresponds to your diskette type and disk drive.. If the “total disk space” numbers are the same, the diskette is formatted correctly. DISK TYPE DRIVE TYPE FORMAT COMMAND SPACE INFO. 5 ¼” DSDD DSDD FORMAT d: 362,496 bytes total disk space 5 ¼” DSDD HD FORMAT d: /T:40 /N:9 362,496 bytes total disk space 5 ¼” HD DSDD Cannot be formatted 5 ¼” HD HD FORMAT d: 1,213,952 bytes total disk space 3 ½” DSDD DSDD FORMAT d: 730,112 bytes total disk space 3 ½” DSDD HD FORMAT d: /T:80 /N:9 730,112 bytes total disk space 3 ½” HD DSDD Cannot be formatted 3 ½” HD HD FORMAT d: 1,457,664 bytes total disk space 3 ½” DSHD FORMAT d: 1,457,664 bytes total disk space.

  • How to Find out the IP Address of an Omron
    Communications Middleware/Network Browser How to find an Omron Controller’s IP address Valin Corporation | www.valin.com Overview • Many Omron PLC’s have Ethernet ports or Ethernet port options • The IP address for a PLC is usually changed by the programmer • Most customers do not mark the controller with IP address (label etc.) • Very difficult to communicate to the PLC over Ethernet if the IP address is unknown. Valin Corporation | www.valin.com Simple Ethernet Network Basics IP address is up to 12 digits (4 octets) Ex:192.168.1.1 For MOST PLC programming applications, the first 3 octets are the network address and the last is the node address. In above example 192.168.1 is network address, 1 is node address. For devices to communicate on a simple network: • Every device IP Network address must be the same. • Every device node number must be different. Device Laptop EX: Omron PLC 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 Device Laptop EX: Omron PLC 127.27.250.5 192.168.1.1 Device Laptop EX: Omron PLC 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.1 Valin Corporation | www.valin.com Omron Default IP Address • Most Omron Ethernet devices use one of the following IP addresses by default. Omron PLC 192.168.250.1 OR 192.168.1.1 Valin Corporation | www.valin.com PING Command • PING is a way to check if the device is connected (both virtually and physically) to the network. • Windows Command Prompt command. • PC must use the same network number as device (See previous) • Example: “ping 172.21.90.5” will test to see if a device with that IP address is connected to the PC.

  • F.A.Q. Series ROM-DOS TM
    21520 30th Drive SE #110 Bothell, WA 98021 USA Tel: (425) 951-8086 Fax: (425) 951-8095 [email protected] [email protected] www.datalight.com TM ROM-DOS F.A.Q. Series Question: Assuming they don't want FAT32, Long Filename support, or Sockets, why should my customer upgrade to the newest ROM-DOS? Answer: Since our first FAT32 and LFN release 4.00.1091, there have been several improvements to the core ROM- DOS kernel. This core code is used primarily for our DOS 6.22 compatible compilations, and then extended in the case of a FAT32 or Long Filename build. The 4.00.1091 release is also a new code base and there will be no further upgrades to the previous DOS 6.22 code. In order to obtain new features, fixes, and support a customer must upgrade to release 4.00.1091 or greater. Along with the performance enhancements for both size and speed, several corrections have been made to the ROM-DOS kernel. These include stack and memory issues, disk access issues, and compatibility with the former market leader in DOS. Most of the ROM-DOS utilities have also been improved for size and speed, along with bug fixes. The major changes happened with the XCOPY, HIMEM, MSCDEX, CHKDSK, FDISK and FORMAT utilities. In the realm of international support, the Euro was added to the keyboard and display driver code. ROM- DOS and PC-DOS 2000 are the only non-GUI operating systems to support the Euro. Finally, new ROM-DOS utilities have been added.

  • Problem Solving and Unix Tools
    Problem Solving and Unix Tools Command Shell versus Graphical User Interface • Ease of use • Interactive exploration • Scalability • Complexity • Repetition Example: Find all Tex files in a directory (and its subdirectories) that have not changed in the past 21 days. With an interactive file roller, it is easy to sort files by particular characteristics such as the file extension and the date. But this sorting does not apply to files within subdirectories of the current directory, and it is difficult to apply more than one sort criteria at a time. A command line interface allows us to construct a more complex search. In unix, we find the files we are after by executing the command, find /home/nolan/ -mtime +21 -name ’*.tex’ To find out more about a command you can read the online man pages man find or you can execute the command with the –help option. In this example, the standard output to the screen is piped into the more command which formats it to dispaly one screenful at a time. Hitting the space bar displays the next page of output, the return key displays the next line of output, and the ”q” key quits the display. find --help | more Construct Solution in Pieces • Solve a problem by breaking down into pieces and building back up • Typing vs automation • Error messages - experimentation 1 Example: Find all occurrences of a particular string in several files. The grep command searches the contents of files for a regular expression. In this case we search for the simple character string “/stat141/FINAL” in all files in the directory WebLog that begin with the filename “access”.

  • What Is UNIX? the Directory Structure Basic Commands Find
    What is UNIX? UNIX is an operating system like Windows on our computers. By operating system, we mean the suite of programs which make the computer work. It is a stable, multi-user, multi-tasking system for servers, desktops and laptops. The Directory Structure All the files are grouped together in the directory structure. The file-system is arranged in a hierarchical structure, like an inverted tree. The top of the hierarchy is traditionally called root (written as a slash / ) Basic commands When you first login, your current working directory is your home directory. In UNIX (.) means the current directory and (..) means the parent of the current directory. find command The find command is used to locate files on a Unix or Linux system. find will search any set of directories you specify for files that match the supplied search criteria. The syntax looks like this: find where-to-look criteria what-to-do All arguments to find are optional, and there are defaults for all parts. where-to-look defaults to . (that is, the current working directory), criteria defaults to none (that is, select all files), and what-to-do (known as the find action) defaults to ‑print (that is, display the names of found files to standard output). Examples: find . –name *.txt (finds all the files ending with txt in current directory and subdirectories) find . -mtime 1 (find all the files modified exact 1 day) find . -mtime -1 (find all the files modified less than 1 day) find . -mtime +1 (find all the files modified more than 1 day) find .

  • L3pdffield-Choice Module Commands to Create Choice Fields LATEX PDF Management Testphase Bundle
    The l3pdffield-choice module Commands to create choice fields LATEX PDF management testphase bundle The LATEX Project∗ Version 0.95i, released 2021-08-28 1 l3pdffield-choice Introduction This is the documentation for choice fields, for general information about form fields check the documentation l3pdffield. Please keep in mind • Not every PDF viewer supports choice field. • The handling can depend on settings in the PDF viewer. In adobe reader for example I had to disable an option to avoid that it tries to create an appearance itself • Standards like pdf/A disable features of form fields too (as you typically can’t change the PDF). 2 Choice fields Choice fields are drop down menus or scrollable lists where the user can selectoneor more entries. They can also contain a field where users can insert a free text. The export value and the displayed value can differ. Some values can be preselected. This means that various data will have to be set, and the sorting matters. The module here will assume that the various values are stored in sequences: checkifexportoraltname... Only the first sequence is required. Empty values in the display sequence are possible, then the normal value is used. 2.1 Types Choice fields can be a drop down menu (called Combo), which can contain an editable field. setfieldflags={Combo,Edit} or setfieldflags={Combo} If Edit is set, one can also set DoNotSpellCheck. Or they can be a list. ∗E-mail: [email protected] 1 unsetfieldflags={Combo,Edit,DoNotSpellCheck} For both types it is possible to set or unset MultiSelect and CommitOnSelChange.

  • Delimit — Change Delimiter
    Title stata.com #delimit — Change delimiter Description Syntax Remarks and examples Also see Description The #delimit command resets the character that marks the end of a command. It can be used only in do-files or ado-files. Syntax #delimit cr j ; Remarks and examples stata.com #delimit (pronounced pound-delimit) is a Stata preprocessor command. #commands do not generate a return code, nor do they generate ordinary Stata errors. The only error message associated with #commands is “unrecognized #command”. Commands given from the console are always executed when you press the Enter, or Return, key. #delimit cannot be used interactively, so you cannot change Stata’s interactive behavior. Commands in a do-file, however, may be delimited with a carriage return or a semicolon. When a do-file begins, the delimiter is a carriage return. The command ‘#delimit ;’ changes the delimiter to a semicolon. To restore the carriage return delimiter inside a file, use #delimit cr. When a do-file begins execution, the delimiter is automatically set to carriage return, even if it was called from another do-file that set the delimiter to semicolon. Also, the current do-file need not worry about restoring the delimiter to what it was because Stata will do that automatically. Example 1 /* When the do-file begins, the delimiter is carriage return: */ use basedata, clear /* The last command loaded our data. Let's now change the delimiter: */ #delimit ; summarize sex salary ; /* Because the delimiter is semicolon, it does not matter that our command took two lines. We can change the delimiter back: */ 1 2 #delimit — Change delimiter #delimit cr summarize sex salary /* Now our lines once again end on return.
