change the 60 GB *.vmdk file in windows

Hi all

My CID is messy in my *.vmdk files and I need to change. However I just can't open the file in Notepad because it is more than 60 GB. My RAM becomes exhausted trying to open in VIM and I can display only lines I need to change with cygwin (head - lines = 15 Virtual\ Machine.vmdk).

Any suggestions on how I can get the head of the file in windows, change? I looked for a solution for hours on the internet!

Thank you!

-jp

whenever I change the CIDs monolithicSparse discs I extract the second sector of the vmdk to a file and modify it.

In fact I inject this return.

It is much safer, then using hexeditors.

On the Windows host I extracted the descriptor like this

dsfo.exe blabla.vmdk 512 800 descriptor.txt

to inject that back I use

DSFI.exe blabla.vmdk 512 800 descriptor.txt

See my site for more on such things

  • Please tell me how do to permanently change the date of a file "update"

    Please tell me how do to permanently change the date of a file "update". The file is a JPG image copied from a digital camera. After that I rotate image his 'Date Modified' goes from January 20, 2011 to September 1, 2011. As a result of the date change, the image no longer appears in the correct position when the directory is sorted. I have a program that creates a file HTML images. The software sorts images according to their creation date. The bad images appear at the end of the table.

    Date manipulation attributes of a file can be done directly through the graphical interface of Windows.  There are, however, various third party utilities that have this capability.

    This article has a good discussion on the topic and includes links to some public services.  The article is quite old, however, and I don't check to see if the links are still valid.  If not, you should be able to find something useful here: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=edit+file+accessed+date&pbx=1&oq=edit+file+accessed+date&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1857l7979l0l8482l23l23l0l2l2l0l267l4165l0.10.11l21l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=74e371c96a48f4b&biw=1024&bih=649

  • Change the appearance settings to take my windows turns blue instead of white

    In windows XP, I used to be able to change the appearance settings to make my windows (ie. excel worksheet, word documents, outlook e-mail body) light blue instead of white. I can't find how to make the same change on Windows 7. Any ideas?

    Here are the steps I used to do in Windows XP to make the change:
    Do right click on desktop--> click on 'Properties'--> click the 'Appearance' tab--> click bottom right the 'Advanced' button--> in the "point:" drop-down box, I would choose 'Window'--> then I would change "color 1" to a shade longer than light blue "»
    The same steps do not work in Windows 7, and I can't seem to find where to go to change the color.
    Light blue is much easier on the eyes when you work all day in front of the computer, so I really want to find a way to make the same change in Windows 7. Thank you!

    How to change the color of windows in Windows 7:

    Right-click on the desktop, click Customize, click on "Window Color" at the bottom of the pane, click on "Advanced appearance... settings". ", select the list box window drop-down element, click Color 1, click other and type these digits from left and from top to lower left and then right at the top on the bottom right, click OK, click on apply.

  • How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

    How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

    In general, they will accept the image in the format, that it was taken (if it was taken by the majority of cameras or cell phones).  But if so, you have a few options.

    The most simple and integrated solution is Microsoft Paint.  Yes it is from the 1980s, but it still works and changes of a good job for a time.  Just to right click on the photo file, choose open with and choose paint.  Then go to file > save as and save this return as the file type you want it to be (like PNG or BMP or JPG, quality declining in the JPG option).

    If you need more options like changing the quality he uses during conversion, another free option (of the very very many) is Paint.NET, an open source free image editing program. http://www.dotPDN.com/downloads/PDN.html

    There are also programs that can do it in bulk, so you can highlight 300 photos and do convert them all at once.  You can do this for free or with tools like Photoshop.

  • I need to change the OS between my 2 computers (Windows XP and 7) where I can download the necessary files?

    I have a laptop with a valid license of Windows 7 and a desktop computer with a valid XP license. I think I would get more use from 7, if it was on my desk and would be willing to downgrade my laptop to XP (it runs very slowly regardless). However because I bought the laptop with Windows 7 installed I have a Windows 7 disc. Where can I download or order a new copy of the disc?

    UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.
    UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.

    There is no such thing as 'Friendly' - it is Home Premium or Professional.

    As others have said - if your copy of WIndows came pre-installed, then they are OEM editions which cannot be transferred to another computer in all circumstances.

    You can buy a license to upgrade to WIndows 7 for use on your desktop - but I suggest that you run upgrade first Advisor to ensure that the material can support the operating system properly.

    Insofar as your laptop is slow, it's usually because of too much loading at startup, or malware.

    Do you have an anti-virus installed up-to-date? When was the last time you ran a full system scan?

    You have all the other anti-malware installed apps?

    Check what programs are loaded at startup - and which are loaded as Add - ons for Internet Explorer. Use the options in the program to stop everything you must actually run at startup (you can test temproarily using MSCONFIG, but use the options of the program for more permanent effects.)
