CHKDSK on the volume of virtual hard drive - how do we do this

Hi Forum,

I get an error message indicating that the virtual hard disk volume is corrupt. How is a chkdsk ran on this volume?

I did a chkdsk on the local drives and it shows no errors. I am suspecting that if the system state backup, it creates a VHD file damaged. Any suggestions or ideas would be welcome. I have this product on multiple servers and have not been able to find how to do about this probably.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you...

Welcome to the communities...

VHD file is the Microsoft disk file extension... How is this related with VMware...

Provide more details on the program installation and the issue.

    Now that you are on the factory settings, I advise Dell DataSafe Local Backup uninstall and upgrade to the latest version of Dell backup and restoration which has many bugs/improvements, including the ability to restore to another hard drive which is useful in case the hard disk fails in the future or you decide to upgrade later to an SSD. The XPS 8300 running perfectly with a SSD, I have mine put in place with one. Then you can create a Rescue Disk (external hard drive Bootable) or Backup factory (Bootable USB Flash Drive) that will be promoted the recovery compared to the facts media with Dell DataSafe Local Backup. See here for more details:

    Note This is not a UEFI BIOS (he missed just out on the passage to the UEFI) but may start from an external hard drive.

    someone has experimented in the use of virtual hard drives (VHD)?

    you are looking for a Recovery Manager questions I found a warning about the Recovery Manager lose functionality after you change the partition of hard disk (HDD) (create/delete partition, volume retraction/extension/delete a partition). as said for example. under http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c0208555

    A disk hard virtual is this constraint list too

    A virtual hard disk does not actually create a partition on the hard drive

    A virtual hard disk allows multiple operating systems to reside on a single host machine. This method allows developers to test the software on different operating systems without the cost or the hassle to install a second hard drive or create another partition on a hard drive.

  • Loss of disk space available every day as System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive

    My PC is under Windows7 Home Premium... version 6.1... Build 7601... service pack 1.

    I have a 1 TB hard drive... 3 weeks ago, I've had approximately 813 gb free space... now, I have only 603 gb of free space. I noticed that the folder System Volume Information is passed to 209,53 Go. Don't know why this issue became so great. I lost about 5 to 20 GB of free space on the hard disk every day.

    The System Volume Information folder is the largest on my hard drive... Users folder is 43.38 GB... Windows folder is 31.89 GB... WinSxS folder is 15,18 GB.

    I installed a couple of applications in the last 6 months... Driver booster... Download App... and size of file.

    I didn't save my PC in the last 3 weeks because of this problem.

    The only application that I use for backup is MotoCast USB... it creates a backup of the SD card in my smartphone to my PC.  I've been backup card SD in my phone every 3-4 weeks for the past 2 years but never lost so much hard drive space until the last 3 weeks.

    Any suggestions?

  • Restore the virtual hard drive backup on a different node with different IP and host name.

    Hi guys,.
    I want to do the following.

    My reliable backup strategy is the virtual hard drive backup. The database is installed on a virtual particulay machine (node). Now, I do not take the backup of the DBF files or control files or files from archive.
    I rely on the virtual hard disk backup. It takes the entire Virtual Machine backup. Now, I wanted to restore this virtual hard drive backup to a different node with different IP and host name.
    But before I start the database, there are some things I need to do.
    As change address IP address and the hostname registered with the database installed and its services.

    Please guide me through the steps on how to perform the activity.

    Concerning
    Lam...
    SOA admin.

    I think that the whole operating system will be restored in a new virtual machine... I have it... The changes will have to be done in the file listener.ora (hostname or IPADDRESS and also PORT NO in case you want another port as the existing one). Once you have made the changes that you have to bounce the listener, I mean stop and start the listener... I don't think that any other changes are needed... Make sure that the same need for entries (from the listener) to be included in the TNSNAMES file. ORA file both client-side... The tns service is used to connect to the remote database server (from the demand side or whatever source you used to connect to the database server)... I just think that the change to do... Hope its clear... Please try...

    If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.

    If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

  • Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.

    Hello

    Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.
    Can someone help me with a cure for this (IE run the game without the CD?) I can run Microsoft Flight simulator without inserting the DVD in my DVD-rom.

    original title: query on Microsoft Train Simulator 2001

    I suspect that the game has Digital Rights Management in there (i.e., copy protection) and it checks for you ensure that you physically have the disc so that he knows that you are not a thief.  Many providers of game assumes that you are a thief and you prove that you're not demanding that the disc is in the DVD player when the game takes place.  What I do is to use a program like Alcohol 52%, a free program that can make a copy of a DVD/CD and include in the image copy protection so that you can use a DVD player virtual to mount the image file instead of having the real DVD mounted in a real drive.
