• Extend C drive without any 3rd Party Software.

  Hi people,

  Please read carefully before sticking a step by step tutorial.

  How can I extend the space in C drive. There is lots of space available in the E drive. I'm ok to remove E: via diskmgmt.msc. If I remove the E drive it gives me no allocated space, but extend the option is grayed out in disk management console.

  Thank you best regards &,.

  Given that the 210 GB unallocated partition is separate from your system partition (drive C :) partition active 300 MByte, you cannot extend C: drive. First of all, you need to move the 300 MB partition at the end. partition managers 3rd party can do that, but the native Disk Manager can not.

  Here's a way laborious but sure to reach your goal without the help of tools 3rd party:

  1. Create an image of your installation. Store it on an external drive.
  2. Burn a CD to repair Windows System.
  3. Start the computer with this CD.
  4. Check if it can see the picture that you took in step 1.
  5. Start normally.
  6. Delete the partition of 300 MB.
  7. Extend the C: drive. Make sure you leave free 310 MB at the end of the ar.
  8. Create a partition NTFS primary & active to the end.
  9. Start the computer with the CD to repair.
  10. Select the option to repair the boot environment. He must restore the boot environment.

  If the procedure above fails, then you can restore the image that you created in step 1.

• 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://www.RTFM-ed.co.UK/?p=1310

  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.

• Cannot extend drive

  I have a virtual machine that began with a secondary logical drive of 20 GB for configuration data. Now, I need to raise it. I have unallocated space, but I can't extend the drive. It's worked before, unless I'm missing something. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  

  Hello Nathan,.

  Please provide an opportunity to help Microsoft Community.

  Before you start with the troubleshooting steps, I would ask you to answer the questions below:

  1. What exactly happens when you try to extend the drive?
  2. You have the operating system installed on the drive that you are trying to extend?
  3. You receive an error message/code while extending the drive?
  4. What software do you use to virtualize Windows?
  5. To extend the walk is greyed out?

  Ideally, when you have unallocated space, you can extend a drive by selecting the option to extend and unallocated space will automatically accumulate with the disc that you want to extend.

  Please answer the questions posed above, so we can guide you further.

• I can find driver for my dvd writer dose not work Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) _ dvd writer ad - 7530 has ata thanks

  Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) has .dvd rw ad - 7530 ata

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

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

  Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
  are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
  ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Win 7 cannot find the driver on the laptop to HP Deskjet 5600 connected to the office via WLAN

  I have HP Deskjet 5650 color printer connected to desktop Dell Dimension 2400 under Windows XP Home Edition Ver 2002 SP3. I just bought a laptop Dell Inspiron N4110 running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit.

  I am trying to connect to the printer via my home WIFI network running through a Netgear Wireless-N 150 WNR1000 router.

  When I add a printer on the laptop, it shows on the list of printers available on the select a printer screen, but when he tries to connect, it returns with a message, "cannot find a driver for HP Deskjet 5600 series on the network.

  I tried to locate the driver manually, but without success. I have an older HP laptop that is running Windows XP, which has always connected to the printer via the WIFI network very well.

  Can I connect the printer directly to the new laptop via a USB port and it recognizes, installs and runs very well.

  But I need accessible and connected permanently to the desktop from the laptop when it is connected to the WLAN.

  Can someone tell me how I can get my new laptop to locate driver files on when connecting via the WIFI network, please?

  Thanks for your help!

  Very well!!  He finally got!

  had to go to the properties of the computor, advanced system properties, system, device installation settings and game to install drivers from windows update if it is not found on my computer.

  Then, it would finally be search on windows update for drivers, but would not yet find a driver even from windows update to the printer when installing it as a network printer.

  I had to add a printer as a local printer, and then select Create a new port, local port, and the port name, I had to enter the path through the network computer to the printer (as "\\desktopname\printername").

  Then and only then, did that pick me from a list of printers, and we found a driver on windows update.

  Yet once again, I appreciate your help! Looks like we may have learned something from this experience.

• 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.

• Cannot extend a virtual disk in vSphere

  I can't extend my hard drive of the virtual machines.  I'm running on ESXi 4.0.0 208167 with more than 1 TB of free space in the local storage. The virtual machine is currently set up with thick Provisioning, but I've tried too thin (using storage vMotion to change).  Currently 10 GB is allocated and the block size allows 256 GB of files as there are no snapshots.  No matter if the virtual machine is powered on or off, or the other.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  The VMX configuration file is attached.

  Welocme again.

  In the vmx file I saw that you are using an IDE ide0:0.fileName = ' 83-XPVM - 01.vmdk ' drive you can not resize the IDE drives in the dialog 'change settings '. You need to do this, use the converter. When you use the converter that you can - if you want - change type of for example the SCSI LSI controller.

  Installing a version commercial (street copy) of Windows XP on a Toshiba Vista laptop.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step 1: Prepare the BIOS
  -Go to section Support/Drivers on the Toshiba site and look for your model of Toshiba
  -If your phone has a separate version of BIOS for XP and Vista, download the BIOS XP and run it in Windows.
  -If you cannot start Windows, you can update the BIOS after installing XP.

  Step 2: Enable SATA Compatibility Mode in the BIOS
  -If installing XP cannot detect SATA drive, enable SATA Compatibility Mode in BIOS if this option is available and install XP.

  Step 3: Install XP using a floppy with the SATA drivers
  -If SATA compatibility mode is not available, you must use the SATA drivers diskette during installation of XP. Follow these steps:

  (1) Download driver Windows XP SATA F6 on the site of Toshiba Support/downloads.
  If a single SATA/AHCI F6 driver is unavailable, download and extract the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver for XP in a temporary folder.
  The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package must contain some files under the folder "F6flpy". For example: C:\temp\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\F6flpy\ICH8M_32bit
  Choose the right folder. For example: ICH8M_32bit for a Chipset of Intel ICH8 during installation of Windows XP 32-bit.

  (2) copy these files (iastor.inf, etc.) on a blank diskette. The files must reside in the root directory of the floppy disk.
  For example: A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc...

  (3) connect a Toshiba USB floppy drive to the Toshiba laptop. (some non - Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not work correctly during the installation of XP)

  (4) (4) demarrer start from the Windows XP CD, start the installation and make sure that your floppy with the drivers is inserted into the floppy USB drive.

  (5) for the XP installation invites you to press F6 to install a storage driver, immediately press F6.

  (6) for installing XP you invites to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue.
  For example: ICH7M Intel(r) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, Intel(r) ICH8M 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller

  (7) keep the attached floppy drive and floppy disk inserted XP has not completed its installation.
  Do not partition or format the hard drive during the installation of XP. The diskette SATA drivers are copied and stored on the hard drive during the installation of XP.

  Hello golden2,.

  I understand that you have a DVD picture in your SuperDrive drive, but it is not mount on the desktop and will not eject.

  Please, try the procedure described in this article using the disc is ejected.

  Get help with the SuperDrive slot on your Mac - Apple Support loading

  Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

  1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
  2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
  3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
  4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
  5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
  6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.
