Can I move a snapshot to another location and bring back later?

I have a Windows XP running inside VMware and there are three snapshots and a current running instance. I want snapshots to save disk space, but I want to make in the future. I see four sets of files: x 86-000001-WinXP, WinXP - x 86-000002, WinXP - x 86-000004 WinXP - x 86-s001. According to the time stamp on the files, I can say to those that are correlated with snapshots, and Windows XP - x 86-000002 is the current imagefile in use. There are also a number of WinXP - x 86-Snapshot1/2/4 and the main file of WinXP - x 86. I can't say which is common usage. But I wanted to ask you if I can move some of these files on a backup hard drive, without irreparably disrupt the VMWare image, and then I can move them back in the future when I want to go back to some particular instant. Thank you.

If you don't have enough space so consider installing a larger hard drive or move the entire Virtual Machine to drive with adequate disk space and run it from there.

Having said that, although technically, you have instant disks reside on a different drive then the basic disk you can't separate Instant disks from the disk to basic, in general, use the basic disk itself and then add instant records.  In other words if you separate the discs you then continue to use the virtual machine configured as it is, however, the value of the parameter "parentFileNameHint" in the "disk DescriptorFile" of the first Flash disk must be properly modified to account for the change in location.

Unless you fully understand the interdependence of all the files that make up a virtual machine can be very careful separation files together in one place.

Make sure also that, at a minimum, you have all user data that resides in the Virtual Machine saved before making anything.

Is there a way I can just change the Panel they sit rather than remove the controls I have and then create new controls on the tab?

    Maybe you want to make the trip in IDE, not by the program...

    It is very simple: select the controls that you want to move, Ctrl-x or select 'Cut' in the Edit menu, and then select the destination tab, press Ctrl + V (or select Paste from the Edit menu).

    I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?

    Hello

    There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

    It depends on the old hard drive still works.

  • Win7: How can I move user folder to another drive

    (with all its tentacles of registry supported)

    Related to this issue but a little different (using Win7 RC)
    I would like to move the folders from the user for all members of the family to E:\
    What is the best way?
    When I cut and paste, I am warned a bunch of system folders. In addition, I don't see the LOCATION tab when I click on properties.

    When you create a clean installation, using the combination of a system SSD drive and a conventional disc, such as a data reader, there is a way to 'move' the users folder (normally, C:\Users) and the hidden ProgramData folder (normally C:\ProgramData) for the conventional disc, or the data reader, using an answer file, or an unattend.xml file for an unattended Setup, as mentioned above.

    For a person making a unique, one-time Setup, trying to figure out how to create an answer for fully automatic, just installation file to accomplish this small one, is average, far too much trouble.  It is also not necessary.

    It is possible, during an installation of conventional and interactive disc installation or USB thumbdrive, to enter what we call, 'Mode of Audit', until the computer is called or a created user name and perform the necessary reallocation.

    (1.) a conventional facility.  If you are using an SSD, at the point the installation process where you are asked where you want to install Windows, you must use disk Options to delete all partitions on the SSD drive, before you select the SSD drive as a target.  Do not manually partition or format the drive before installation.  Windows 7 will do and must do, because Windows needs to align the logical format with the characteristics of the physical drive, and, also, Windows wants a small system partition for its own purposes.

    2.) when installation stops, waiting for you to give a user name and a computer name, the computer are not!  Press Ctrl + Shift + F3, and the computer will restart in... (wait for it!) "Audit mode '!  Basically, Windows create a disposable administrator account and log in, as this disposable administrator.  Hurt you, with regard to this temporary user survive complete the installation, but the computer works normally, and you can install the drivers and software.  Every time that the computer starts in Audit mode (you are allowed to restart), a version of Sysprep.exe GUI will pop up, offering to restart the computer in OOBE (out of box experience).  OOBE is where you were a moment before - that is to say, where you create a username and computer name and installation is complete.  Do not restart in OOBE, until you are ready to complete the installation.

    3.) he should know what drive letter (or the location of the folder) will be assigned to your disk Datadrive.  So, it's time, in audit mode, to understand this.  If you need to partition or format the datadrive, do so now.  On the Start Menu, right click on "Computer" and select Manage from the context menu, go to the computer management console.  In the management console of the computer, storage/disk management, you will find tools to change drive letters, partition, etc.

    4.) you need only a minimal answer file.  It is an xml (text file) file created in Windows System Image Manager application.  You can call what you want.  I would say: folders.xml.  Here are the contents of a folders.xml file, which is re - locate users and ProgramData to D:\



       
           
               

                    d:\Users
                    d:\ProgramData
               
           
       
       

    I'm going to imagine a scenario where you make this file on another computer, and transfer to the computer when the installation is done using a USB key, which, when it is connected to the computer in Audit Mode, is attributed to the extra drive letter:

    You could probably just copy the text above into Notepad and save it as a text file with the .xml extension and be good to go, as long as you wanted to use d:\Users and d:\ProgramData as your Datadrive locations.  (I used this answer file, with success; I do not guarantee that it will work for others.)

    5. to use the folders.xml, located in the root directory of your flash drive, plugged and visible under U:\ form, you must open a command prompt, access c:\windows\system32\sysprep and give this command:

    Sysprep.exe /audit /reboot /unattend:U:\folders.xml

    This will cause the reboot of the computer, but you will end up right back in Audit Mode.  As long as you're still in Audit Mode, re-location of these dossiers is not complete, because the temporary administrator useraccount still has his stuff in C:\Users and there are still a few active databases in C:\ProgramData.

    6.) now, you need to say goodbye in Audit Mode.  Remember that a graphical interface for the use of Sysprep to initialize the OOBE appears whenever you re - boot into Audit Mode.  "So after restart you 5.) you will have your chance to run it.  (If it comes to your personal computer, do check the box "Generalize" in the GUI of Sysprep).

    7.) finishing your Windows installation, create a permanent user name and giving the computer a name, etc.  When you're finally running, go get to C:\  C:\Users should have disappeared.  C:\ProgramData is probably still there, but it is normally hidden, so you won't know, until you go to Folder Options and check Show hidden files and folders.  D:\Users and D:\ProgramData (hidden) must also exist.

    8.), I like the idea of using junctions to intercept any program crazy enough to hardcode to c:\users or c:\programdata you will need to delete or move C:\ProgramData, before creating a junction to C:\ProgramData pointing to D:\ProgramData.  The command line tool, mklink, is useful here.  Open a command prompt, and then type mklink /? to get instructions.  If you want a right click GUI tool, you can check:http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html

    After you create junctions, I think you could use regedit to edit the ProfileList key to the locations of origin C:\.  Folders.XML will have changed the Folderlist key, so that everything points to D:\ instead of %systemdrive%\ or C:\   I'm not sure what would be the point, but you couldn't.

  • How can I move the public folders default location to a new drive?

    I'll put up a brand new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed and a big 500 GB hard drive.  I partitioned the drive into 2 logical drives C: and E:

    Wherever possible I want to store all user data on E: (I know is not possible for all the parameters of the user to move - mores the pity).  I have not yet copied across all the data from my old machine so I just empty folders to play with at the moment.  I moved all the My Documents/pictures/etc files for the e: drive by changing the location in the properties of the folder.

    However, I can't do the same with public folders.  If I right click on the folder, click Properties, then location, it's like I can't change C:\Users\Public\... but it does not change

    No idea why, or how I can get around this?

    This is possible thanks to a Directory junction that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

    First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

    Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

    All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
    Robocopy /MIR %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public     (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

    You need robocopy as he takes care of hidden files, etc., especially if you have the recorded TV folder in public folders.

    Once the copy is transferred, you must delete the existing public folder and create a junction in his place. To do this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and remove the public content and file inviting again by running Cmd as administrator. To remove the Public folder:

    RmDir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

    After creating the new folder location and remove the existing public folder, now is time to create a Directory junction of audiences with the following folders:

    Mklink /J %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public                         (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

    for example: mklink /dC:\Users\Public E:\Public   

    Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot move public folders to another location

    Original title: I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder?

    Hello world!

    I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder, although I've done it before without any problem.

    Thses files that are located in the Public folder in its original volume:

    and as you can see this folder "music" is available in the source "C:\users\public".

    That these two folders within the Public folder have been moved to the new location D:\users\public

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, when I moved to: C:\Users\Public via the command prompt and run the Dir command. I noticed this "Music" folder, but it is not "public music. After that I applied the last command, but instead of running this command:

    "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public.

    I have run this command with the setting 'music' "Public"

    "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public\Music D:\Users\Public.

    And the music folder moved:

    But I am quite sruprised that in the first time I did that I only work "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\ D:\Users\PublicPublic .

    "In addition, as you can see that there is no ' Document Public" and "Public Desktop" in the output of the command "Dir /" via the command prompt. However, records two moved with the command "" robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public "without any problem.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    These steps, I made a request to transfer:

    This can be done by a directory connection that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

    First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

    Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

    All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
    Robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

    You need robocopy as it supports the hidden files, etc., especially if you haveRecorded TV public folder.

    Once the copy is transferred, you must remove the existing public folder and create an ajunction in his place. To do this, start mode safe mode as an administrator and remove thepubliccontents and folder, and then start theCmd as an administrator command prompt. To remove the Public folder:

    rmdir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

    After you have created the new folder location and deleting the existing publicfolder, now is the time to create a directory Junction forpublic folder with the following command:

    MKLINK /J %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

    for example: mklink /d C:\Users\Public E:\Public

    Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
    I hope this helps.
