Access the disk very slow and steady

Running VMWare Workstation v6.5.0-118166-Build, on Windows XP SP3 host (Dell Optiplex 755).  VM sessions are stored on internal 500 GB SATA 3 GB of disk.  After Windows XP SP3 is started in a virtual machine session, system response seems very slow; IE, by clicking on an icon takes several seconds to respond, launched apps take unusually long to load, etc.  Symptoms persist for several minutes after the start of the session XP.  Meanwhile, the indicator disk in VMWare Workstation shows status bar access the constant disk.

I defraged the session, both within Windows and using the VMware Workstation defragmentation utility.

Anyone have any ideas why this disk access continues for so long?

Thank you

Jack

Yes, snapshots are, as well as all the contents of the folder of the virtual machine.

Well, it seems that you have.  Using a virtual machine of independent origin identified the problem as long as the virtual machines themselves, who all had the same problem, because they inherited from their parent, all 46 chromosomes from the same source.

So unless you want to determine what virtual machines is defective, you may be ready to mark this as a response.

    So, what operating system Mac are you on? You are not running an iMac on iOS.

    The Apple store actually erase your entire hard drive or they just install the OS on top of what you have?

    If you downloaded from any type of torrent/pirate bay Web site, there are some that will include a few unwanted songs (like bloatware/adware/malware) with their free software, especially if this software costs money elsewhere - for example, you might have installed something that will not be fixed by installation of operating system unless all of the hard disk will be deleted first.

  • Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

    I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

    Hello

    Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
    the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

    Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
    role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

    Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

    After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

    Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

    Hello

    I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
    The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).

    It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).

    I have already tried:

    -Update the Realtek drivers.
    -Disconnect the firewall;
    -Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.

    Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?

    Thank you!
    Poncet

    Hi Patrick,

    If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.

    Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.

    By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

  • 30/31 of Firefox is very slow and plant constantly?

    Hello.
    Since I updated to 30 FF, I find it VERY slow and it blocks many times a day. I was happy when version 31 is out because I thought it would work better, but it doesn't.
    The pages take forever to is to load, most of the time they will not and I have to recharge myself and then maybe they are responsible.
    Also, it crashes all the time. I noticed it's on down each time that it kind of "freeze" or when it is something big, which is not at all big load. I've never had this problem before, but have been dealing with this for months now and I'm tired instead.

    I think I have almost tried everything. Even uninstalled. I'd appreciate any help, as I would like to continue using it. Thank you.

  • Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file

    Hello.

    I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.

    As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.

    When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!

    How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.
