I have downloaded the SAS 9.4 suite on a flash drive. However, I do not have enough space on my hard disk to install SAS on my laptop.
Is there a way I can run SAS from my flash drive, instead of installing it on my laptop?
Operating system : Windows 10
Sort of? I have an external drive I've formatted (SSD/Flash) with an entire OS on it including SAS.
So I have VMware installed on my computer and it accesses the image file stored on the flash drive/SSD to run. You may even be able to do this with SAS UE. But you can also just use Academics on Demand which is cloud-based, assuming it's non-commercial usage and for learning.
EDIT: It's on a (256GB) flash drive that I keep on my computer because I don't really use the SD slot for anything else. It has Windows 10 on it because my main machine is a MacBook.

I have an Acer Nitro 5 with a Gigabyte 512gb ssd and a WD 1TB hhd.
Recently after installing Ubuntu on my hdd (because i didn't want to change the sata mode), I also wanted a clean Windows install. So I created a boot usb from
media creation tool and go forward with it.
It didn't work. I got the "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one" error, which i spent a significant amount of time trying to search for a solution.
Stuffs i tried:
- Format my ssd
- use diskpart to clean, convert my ssd partition table to gpt, etc like every guide online recommends.
- Make another boot usb, this time with rufus. Didn't work.
Stuffs I didn't try:
- Temporarily disconnect my hdd. I don't have the tools to do that physically, and my acer uefi has zero options regarding this, like most guides suggests.
- Change to bios-legacy boot mode. There's no option in the uefi.
I think it would be fine if i try to install windows on my hdd though, but haven't try it yet. All I know is installing windows on a ssd is much harder but didn't expect it to produce this much annoyance.
I heard there's an option to install on a HDD, the. use a third party tool to copy it to a SSD, but i haven't look into it.
Thanks for any help given..
Assuming you have Windows 10 installed and working on your SSD go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC > Get started and then select if you want your files kept you want clean reinstall. Again - from your post I assume the latter so just click Remove everything" confirm and wait. It will take (depending on the machine) 1-2 hours.
I've found this to be the easiest way to have clean install without wondering how do I get it installed on my laptop/pc.
My recommendation though - back up your ubuntu partition - I can't guarantee that windows installer won't clean up HDD you have (it's supposed to clean only SSD but better be safe than sorry).
Here's the link to detailed instructions. It's based on 1903 compilation - if your's older it will still look very similar.
If your windows isn't working then use diskpart to clean the drive, boot the computer from USB windows installation stick and choose the drive for your installation - it will/should create appropriate partitions and start installing.
If it won't change boot order so the SSD is first on the list and HDD next and repeat the previous step.
I accidentally wiped-clean my Toshiba Satellite's hard drive, including the recovery partition and the preloaded Windows 10 that was stored on it. Now, the only option I believe I have is to download the ISO, burn it to a DVD or flash, boot the laptop from it and install Windows 10.
If so:
Will Windows 10 be automatically activated ?
Will Windows detect the laptop is one with preloaded copy of Windows and as such license it automatically ?
I don't have any product activation code, the only code printed on the laptop floor is the laptop's serial number...
Thanks.
Anecdotally, the same thing just happened to me. I deleted all partitions and re-installed it completely fresh on a Dell Latitude laptop, figuring I'd lost the license.
In my case, the laptop is licensed just fine. I didn't do anything specific to license it.
As a side note, The ISO I downloaded didn't specify version, though it defaulted to Windows 10 Professional before when I used it on a custom-built machine. This one defaulted to Windows 10 Home, something I also didn't specify. I don't remember for sure which version I had before I nuked it.
A few years ago I switch from PC to Mac. I didn't do this because I preferred to use a Mac, but because I desired experience working with both systems. Now, I see the pros and cons of both sides, and I use them both regularly. In fact, my job requires it.
Now though, I would like to create a central repository of all my PC / Mac data. Unfortunately there is a language barrier between NTFS and HFS+.
Is there any way I can create an efficient and reliable central repository for all my data? I prefer not to use 3rd party drivers as I've found them to be complex and often unreliable.
I think you may be confusing physical, on-disk filesystems with network filesystems.
HFS+ and NTFS are physical, on-disk layouts.
Samba/NFS (Network File System)/AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) are network filesystems.
There is nothing to stop you sharing an HFS+ physical filesystem via Samba (network filesystem) with Windows clients. Likewise, you could theoretically, share an NTFS filesystem with an OSX client via AFP.
You can just share a directory (folder) from your Mac by going to:
Apple menu (top left of screen) -> Preferences -> Sharing
Then set up like in red:
Another, brilliant option which I use for serving all my music to a SONOS system, is to get a little Raspberry Pi, that uses almost zero power, and add a 256MB USB memory stick (or maybe 4 off 64GB memory sticks as that can be cheaper) and RAID them together and make that available via Samba. It is silent and uses no power!
i do not know about your possibilities, but may be you could just use sambaserver. My router has a build in sambaserver all i have to do is plugin an USB disk.
You could also format your external hd to FAT32 filesystem. It should work for mac and windows, but it does not support files over 4GB. But its fine for document, photos and so.
good luck
I am not sure how well FTP would work but I assume you could run a FTP server in one or both systems and FTP client in the corresponding system. Most browsers can be a FTP client but there are also dedicated programs.
Mac OS X can read from NTFS drives. It also supports writing to NTFS, but that feature is disabled by default. I am not sure if it can work when the volume is online to Windows. Quick Tip: How to Write to NTFS Drives in OS X Mavericks explains it.
Enable writing to NTFS hard drives for free in Mac OS X (including El Capitan!) claims to provide read and write access to NTFS for free from Mac OS X.
You can use Apple's Boot Camp. I am not sure of the licensing requirements for the Windows you run in the Apple system but apparently you can use your existing license.
There is also Catacombae - HFSExplorer for accessing Mac-formatted hard disks and disk images from Windows.
There is also commercial software available. A popular one is Paragon HFS+ for Windows 10 and Paragon NTFS for Mac® 14 - Write / read access to NTFS under OS X El Capitan - Introduction.
I did not know what "sambaserver" is but it is a SMB server for UNIX/Linux as described in . SMB is built into Windows; see IT: How to Transfer Files Using Microsoft File Sharing for Windows.
I just bought a Macbook Air and installed Oracle VirtualBox on it. I have a Lenovo laptop with Windows 7 on it that I took a system image of it (Control Panel -> Backup and Restore -> Create a system image) on an external hard drive. I would like to have this system image on the VirtualBox, but I'm having trouble. On the external harddrive there seems to be two different VHD files (one is 4.4 mb and one is 50.3 gb in size). I do not see an ISO file on the external harddrive. When I created the new virtual machine and selected the 50.3gb vhd file as the virtual hard disk, I received the "Fatal boot: Int 18" error. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas how I can get this to work? Thanks in advance!
The Windows 7 backup image is not intended to be bootable by all accounts. You will need to restore the image. Acronis appears to be able to restore the image to a partition, if you dont want to write 50 Gb to DVDs.
the backup VHDs are not bootable in the form they are created with
Windows backup.

I started on Ubuntu and have had the first considerable error. I'm looking for help.
I have an HP Pavilion dv6 i7. I had installed windows 7 and I decided to also install Ubuntu using a USB.
My first attempt was to install Ubuntu 11.10 following the instructions of the official Ubuntu website. When loading the pendrive, my PC stucks at the main menu of ubuntu, so after searching, I found could be due to a problem with my AMD Radeon graphic card (or not), but I decided to change.
Then I used Ubuntu 10.4. This could happen from the start menu i get into Ubuntu live. There I decided to install it because I liked it and I need to develope with Google TV (in windows is not posible).
And I fail in the partitions section. I tried to follow the instructions on this page:
http://hadesbego.blogspot.com/2010/08/instalando-linux-en-hp-pavilion-dv6.html
but there were things that changed a bit so I improvised. I took the windows partition of 700000MB and went to 600000Mb leaving 100GB free to install Linux there. The error was to set it to ext3 (it was ntfs). I thought the new 100gb partition will be set to ext3, and windows partition will stuck at ntfs system, but not.
Total I ran out to boot windows, and above I can not install ubuntu on the 100GB free.
Someone thinks I can help. Is there any easy way to convert back to ntfs windows and not lose data?
Thank you very much.
You should be able to hit F11 when the machine is booting up and go to the HP recovery application. This should let you reset to factory default.
You should definitely be able to install Ubuntu on the new 100GB partition as well. Just make sure you choose the right partition to install it on.
You will need to recover using recovery CD/DVD's. You must have been using the install gparted utility in Linux to "re-partition" your drive. You scrubbed some boot files.
If you successfully recover using the recovery media you can use Disk Management in Win 7 to shrink or extend your volume. In your case you would shrink it down 100Gb's and then when installing Linux gparted will see that available 100 GB and install there while Windows will still run.
Also, you should probably be running ext4 fs, not ext3. you would only want ext3 for compatibility reasons.
