• Expand the C partition in Windows Server (not not using diskpart)

  Hi Experts,

  I have an of Windows 2003 virtual machine that has a 12 GB C drive only. I need to decompress. I know that we can use diskpart to extend the drive, but the problem is here that the hard disk is divided into two partitions (C and D), because of which even if I increase the size under the ESX, I don't then expand in Windows using diskpart as it is said there are two partitions on the same disk. Someone help me!

  Hello!

  Normally, you will only be able to extend the partition that has free space immediately after it on the drive (and this is where the free space is added when you expand the virtual disk). So, if your disk layout is like this:

  DISC

  (block0 |) Partition1... | Partition2... | Free space.........................................| last block)

  you will only be able to extend Partition2

  This is why it is recommended to create a partition per virtual disk.

  In your case, I'd watch if it is possible to:

  (1) add another virtual disk to the virtual computer and create a partition (say f :)

  (2) move the data from the disk D: (Partition2) the newly created disk (if the existing D: holds a swap file, you need to create a swap file on the new drive, and then delete D: pagefile in computer properties > Advanced tab > performance settings > Advanced tab)

  (3) change the drive letters in the Disk Manager (change the drive letter to D: in a free r: one, for example, then change to your new drive d :) drive letter)

  (4) possibly restart the virtual machine to see if all the services are running as expected

  (5) use of the Disk Manager to delete the Partition2 (after this your vdisk that holds Partition1 should have lots of free space immediately after Partition1 and it is expandable)

  (6) use diskpart, extpart or any other utility to develop the Partition1

  (7) avoid creating multiple partitions on virtual disks in the future

  I hope this helps.

• Lost to a data partition drive letter. Restored by using diskpart

  Original title: lost Partition... Help, please...!

  Initially, my hard drive space of 320 GB, with that one drive than C: and another drive is D: that is recovery drive. I have vista home premium 32 bit OS.

  I wanted to make a partition and so I shrunk C: drive by going right on my computer - manage - disk management - selected the C: drive and retractable... He gave me the new disc called F: with 66,93 GB of space... I moved some data in the F: drive.

  Hi Roland Bhatt,.

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Try to use diskpart to assign a drive letter to the drive.

  1. on the start Orb > type diskpart.

  2 - Click on diskpart in the above results > click Run as administrator.

  3. after diskpart loads type list volume, press on enter.

  You should notice that you can see your partition you use for your data, it should not not have a drive letter assigned to it.

  4. type select volume 6 (replace 6 with the number of the volume assigned to the partition in question).

  5. type assign letter Z (replace Z with the letter you want to assign).

  When you look in the computer, you should be able to see your score.

• ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

  ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

  Objective: move vmdk to store data with adequate storage and then increase storage D: 20G to 100G

  Converter is not available on this architecture. Can I migrate cold vm to the different data store, no prob.

  Question: Without use of the converter, method 3 can be used without a secondary vm? In other words, just by using target vm offline, online, offline? Or is it a problem of signing/OS disk on the Windows Virtual PC?

  I need to move vmdk in different LUN and extend drive vm windows on D: (non-OS drive). Is this possible via the single procedure? Options?

  To use method 3 to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/81121 requires available vm 'secondary', I did not.

  Method 3? Using of vmkfstools and another VM of Windows to extend a drive

  o stop the VM to resize

  o log in the console ESX Server via Putty

  o Type? vmkfstools? X & lt; new size of drive & gt; vmfs/volumes / & lt; storage volume name & gt;. / & lt; virtual server name & gt;. / & lt; the virtual disk name & gt;? That is to say. /vmfs/volumes/Storage1/my_vm.VMDK new disk size can be specified in kilo, mega, or gigabytes and will be the total size of the new disk. So if you want to increase a virtual disk of 20 GB of 24GO you would put 24000 m or 24g

  o the second virtual machine to help stop

  o change the second virtual machine settings and add the first virtual machine hard drive

  o power on the second VM and load the disk management snap-in and verify that the first virtual machine disk has unallocated on it space

  o select Start, run and enter diskpart.exe

  o the command? the list of volume? This will show you all the volumes.

  o select your volume based on the results of the list volume command, IE. ? Select volume 1?

  o type the command? extend? to extend the volume

  o check again the disk management snap-in and the volume is expected to be expanded with a greater ability

  o stop the second VM and remove (do not remove) the record of it

  o turn your first VM and the new space should be there and ready to use.

  Also, I'm already aware of Dell extpar:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us & CS = 19 & l = in & s = DHS & ReleaseID = R64398 & formatcnt = 2 & starts = 83929

  for VI3, vmoiton of storage is made by RCLI plugin or a 3rd party

  I prefer the plugin

  http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/VMware-ESX-articles/VMotion-DRS-high-availability/storage-VMotion-SVMotion-VI-plugin.html

  In addition, if the option to increase the size of the disk in the VIC is grayed out, it sounds like a permissions issue.  Finally, you can not extend the disc using the VIC, if the customer in question has a snapshot.

• My seagate drive external drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan

  My seagate external hard drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan, it locks also towards the top and turns off, the ext drive when using, I have to restart my IMac 27 inches.  I have two ext hd who does very well for years before the installation of the operating system El Capitan

  If you have installed the Seagate Software, please delete and see if there is no change.

  Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

  Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

  I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

  Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

  Back up all data before making any changes.

  Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

  If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

  Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

• My AMD display driver keeps crashing in some videos

  My AMD display driver keeps crashing and stop any use of the computer for 5 to 10 minutes

  Hi Dennis,

  This is not a question of MSE and not sounds more like a problem of malware.  Looks like a hardware problem or a driver problem or maybe even a problem of file system containing your OS files.  It could be the video card, the monitor or something else (even if it seems to be this driver I suggest that you update to AMD first to see if that helps - even if he says it works very well in the Device Manager and the version at AMD is the same version that you have installed).  He might even have to do with the settings or types of videos - is there something special or different about these videos and they come from the internet or from a CD/DVD which can also be part of the problem (there is not enough information to determine these things and the 5-10 minute thing is source of confusing).  In essence, it could be the driver, or there could be a conflict any affecting the driver (or corrupt files or many things).  I could walk you through some troubleshooting steps, but it is better that you get the help of people who specialize in this.  In any event it is not here.

  If please repost to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/hardware?page=1 (but actually go first to the top and your version of Windows to reach the appropriate forum for your entry system).  Experts in the material problems and driver for your operating system will be a pleasure to help you and you will receive the best help from these forums.  They can refer you to AMD to help, but it is likely that they will be able to help you without it (and the problem may simply need new drivers from AMD or other aspects of your system) - but if they come to that point, they will send you there in time.  The accident likely causes an error message any (that's why your system to know that it is the AMD display driver).  When you re - post, please include the exact error message and everything Word to Word with all codes that can help identify the cause of the problem.

  I hope this helps.

• Z800 - Incorrect used the disk in the drive of Windows 7 boot

  Hello

  I have a very strange situation with my two Z800. I bought used them "out of contract".

  Among the motherboards was defective (one of the memory locations that it would generate an error

  probably a cpu twisted PIN?) and the other had this error I describe below. So I decided to

  two new motherboards think that two of them had problems buying... However, I am still

  the error that I describe below.

  Any help would be LARGELY APPRECIATED!

  Now, I'm only using two new motherboards.
  Z800 #1 config: two L5639, 96 GB of RAM (6 x 16 GB) BIOS v3.57 (I upgraded from 1.18)
  Z800 #1 config: 5520 x, 24 GB of RAM (3 x 8 GB) BIOS V1.18 (it came with the jury)

  When I install Windows 7 64 bit ultimate (two different MSDN Downloads) on hard _any_

  by car (I have tried many, partial list is below) connected to the SATA _any_ port (LSI or)

  Intel) (I tried all the different combinations of disks) on one of the

  systems, I get the same error. After the installation is complete and I check the disc

  disk space is _always_ fallacious.

  For example:

  Hitachi 700 GB HDD SATA2.  No other software other than Win7 install (about 11 GB

  files). When Windows starts the installation he sees a 698 GB drive, which is fine.

  Once installation is complete if I look at the drive C: he said 607 GB is available, up to 13%

  is used or about 90 GB... I right click all files on the C: drive however but

  they represent only 11 GB. What happened to the 78 GB of missing space?

  Similar, but more bad results with a processor Intel 320 160 GB SSD. Same scenario. However this time

  Windows believes that the player has 149 GB of free space (which is fine) but after the

  Install reports only 1.4 GB is available after the installation of windows. With only 11 GB of

  files in fact too much space. What happened to 138GB missing?

  What is really strange, it's that if I started 700 GB Hitachi drive and I have the Intel format

  the 320 series 160GB as a secondary Windows data drive, all space is

  available. I can copy files and the space used is correct... The same exact when results

  Am I on the Intel than BONE and Hitachi drive as data drive. The reader of the BONE

  bad shows used space and Hitachi is fine.

  The exact same results occur on the #1 and #2 of Z800 Z800.

  I tried the following SSDS: two 320series Intel 160 GB, 240 GB ADATA, Intel

  840 series 250GB, Kingston 300 160 GB and several older Rotary readers of

  Hitachi, WD and others with all kinds of different abilities and most of the spinning

  SATA2 and SATA3 a discs. the results are always the same. The Win7

  installation led still misreports the space used, but the data disk (any who

  reader that I use) always correctly reports the space used.

  I'm sure that I tried to use all of the ports on the controller Intel and LSI

  controller and I still get the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in

  IDE mode with the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in RAID mode with the same

  results.

  I flashed the drive Intel 320 with SSD utility HP, same results.

  I tried to load the drivers Intel and LSI as part of installing Windows

  procedure, but the Dungeon to get the same results.

  I tried sitting on a Chair and standing on one leg, but the results are always the

  even. I tried during the day and in the evening and even late at night, even

  results...

  I went to it last month. I contacted HP support, but they claim it hurts

  motherboards. I understand the issue with the twisted up like a bad mother but 3 pin

  all other similar problems?

  I configure something in the BIOS? or y at - it a setting that I'm not aware?

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  I finally solved the problem.

  The problem, it turns out, was related to the configuration of large capacity (GB 48 and 96 GB) memory. While I built servers with this amount of memory, and even more, I never built like that, desktop computers. Turn, the impact of this on the Windows desktop operating system memory size is dramatic at this scale. Server OSs are different and so the impact is not the same.

  Combine hard drives relatively 'small' (160 GB, 200 GB) in proportion to the size of the memory and this is where the problems occur. In a more typical 4 GB or 8 GB or RAM Office combined with a 1 TB drive, you won't even notice the effect.

  Question #1: The Windows 7 pagefile (pagefile.sys) aka virtual memory. It turns out that, by default, Windows creates a page file that is equal to the amount of physical RAM + 300 MB if 1 GB or more of RAM is installed:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382717.aspx

  So now the largest system (96GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB has been used by Pagefile.sys leaving 42 GB of available disk space.

  Question #2: Windows 7 hibernation file. By default, Windows creates a hibernation file which is 75% of the size of the memory. Why not 100%? because it compresses data before shutting down:

  http://download.Microsoft.com/downlo...footprint.docx

  So now the largest system (96 GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB used hiberfil.sys PageFile.sys and (75% 96 GB = 72 GB) for a total of 179 GB. This means that the disc was actually larger. Even the biggest startup drives 500 GB, 750Go you always notice 179GB missing.

  Planned around work.

  The question of the hibernation: hibernation is only useful if you plan to put the system into hibernation - good for computers laptops, but not usually necessary in the workstations. . These systems will be used in audio and video production environments to the each with a dedicated inverter, so it does not intend to put them always in hibernation. Hibernation can safely be disabled in this case.

  http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/Windows-7-delete-hibernation-file-Hiberfil-sys/

  On the question of Pagefile.sys, we look at a few scenarios.

  Option 1 - use a larger SSD and therefore the size of the pagefile.sys is not a problem. In this case a 300 GB or better yet a 600 GB SSD would be very appropriate

  Option 2: Windows is capable of using a separate drive for this function, if the OS is on a disk and the pagefile.sys on another. What is important is that the drive used for pagefile.sys must have the same performance or be faster than the reader of the OS. So if an SSD is used on the main OS drive, do not use a drive 5400 RPM because problems occur... this reversing technically would work: 5400 RPM drive for OS and an SSD for better pagefile.sys, use two matched SSDs.

  We are fortunate to have a corresponding spare SSD, so we'll probably use it for this purpose.

  Option 3 - we had planned to use a VIRTUAL disk on the system of 96 GB. This means that we had to book 32 GB of RAM to the real system and then assign the other 64 GB of RAM like disc data in memory when working on projects. Load us the data to the VIRTUAL disk and copy to the storage drive when you are finished. Partially risky if there is a power outage because we can lose the files, but with a UPS the risk of crashes. We also have plans of relying on tools to sync files to save the RAMDISK in session. In this scenario, you can actually reduce the size of pagefile.sys since we would never use more than 32 GB of RAM. It is also prudent to reduce if keep you track of the size of the file over time and you have a good idea of the amount of memory you use. So if we ever go beyond 12 GB of usage, then we will reduce the size of the pagefile.sys properly.

  So that's it. It has been a long road to get to this point. Now, we can finally start using the system as planned.

  I'm surprised HP technical support was not aware of these effects. Well.

  Hope this is helpful to someone else out there.

• Recovery disk - I restored my files, but the drive keeps telling me that it is almost full

  Recently, I backed up my files on the recovery drive. I have restored my files, but the drive keeps telling me that it is almost full. I don't know how to fix this.

  Restoring a backup does not remove the backup files.  You must remove them manually, unless you want to save in case another restore of that backup is necessary.

  And if you did it on your manufacturer's recovery disk, it wasn't a good idea.  This disc is for recovery only and should be used for anything else.  Find another drive to use for backups.  If this is the case, it may be best to contact the manufacturer and tell them that you were doing so they can help you to correctly resolve the situation without causing problems for disk recovery and your ability to use it as it should be used the need ever.

  I hope this helps.

  original title: Reinstall windows 7 ultimate

  According to the software Microsoft Windows 7 license, you must activate Windows 7 within 30 days of installation.  You are not allowed to circumvent or bypass the product activation.  After 30 days, you must enter a genuine Windows 7 product key for the edition you have installed, or remove Windows 7 by reformatting the hard drive, on which it is installed.

  In addition, you must respect Export Basics.

• Is there a problem if I extend my drive c with any free space?

  I have a 750 GB HDD partitioned into 5 seats, namely

  c:---75 GB
  F:---200 GB
  G:---150 GB
  H:---150 GB
  I:---103 GB
  but since I have only 10 GB of free space left in my c: drive I want to extend my c drive but I don't have a copy of my windows, so I want to increase my c drive without format my drive c. any body can help?

  The essential point is that the only way to extend a drive is that it cannot be that in free space is contiguous to the partition that currently hold the drive C. open disk management and in the lower pane confirm what partition is now to the right of the C partition. This is the one, in that you have to remove or change in order to provide a space for drive C to expand.

  Although the disk manager has the ability to shrink a partition it will reduce only the right side at the end of the score but you need initially left space to the partition. If you can, as suggested by the most simple is to back up the content, delete the partition, extend the C drive, the quantity required and if any space flying over creating a new partition to restore the data.

  You can also download MiniTool Partition Wizard , that allows you to define which end of a partition to shrink. However, the partitions on an active system manipulation it has its risks and it is strongly recommended that you perform a backup anyway before you start.

  An option may be to move some of the files currently on the C drive on another drive. Although you can not move the whole user profile easily many key issues that often take up excessive space can be moved, particularly music, photos and Documents folders can be moved using a utility provided in Windows.

  Hi Filabaca:

  If you want to use a hard drive external Mac and PC options are:

  1. format the drive in Mac as exFat

  2. format the drive to NTFS on a Windows PC and use a program like Paragon NTFS for Mac. https://www.Paragon-Software.com/home/NTFS-Mac/

  Paragon NTFS for Mac allows you to use a disc formatted in NTFS by a Windows PC.

  Here is an article showing the difference between FAT32, exFAT and NTFS. http://www.howtogeek.com/235596/whats-the-difference-between-fat32-exfat-and-ntf s /

  External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.
