Disk Defrag has changed in windows 8?

You cannot specify a date and time to schedule your computer to defragment more! I tried to set up my fathers to do this, it's not great with computers, but even if it is said that you can change the schedule weekly, daily and monthly I don't think that really made him the defragmentation. He said he had never been executed, and he had for months.

On the old system, you can set a date and a time and then he would go next. But now, for some reason, they changed it and it doesn't seem to do automatically either.

I tried to look in a book online and windows 8, but he says just what I already know.

How will I know when it is defraging system? It does not say when he does.

Thank you

Hello

Defragmentation is done automatically once a week. Yet once a week a lot. Almost nobody needs to do it more often.

  • Please help: the virtual disk parent has changed...

    After a few days of research about this error, I decided that I had to ask for some evidence of your experts to help me recover from this error.

    Thank you!

    It is a small desktop application:

    -Dell T410 esxi Server 5

    -a virtual machine, Windows Server 2003 with 2 discs, no fixed size

    I was help this office by managing services and updates on this Server 2003.  I ran updates on Friday and restarted.  When he came I open vSphere and found the virtual machine does not.  I tried to start it and got the error.  So, it seems I may have the CID issue that needs to be corrected.

    I don't have a direct access to this server so I'm remoting with RDS on 2003 VM server and vSphere on the esxi.  Did I make the right diagnosis and is it possible for me to make the necessary corrections to distance or I need direct access to the server?  Everything I've read has files of people editing CID numbers and it seems that they directly access the esxi server.

    Shows the data store:

    The parentCID of the snapshot must match the CID from its parent, as shown in the log file

    "... The content ID mismatch (parentCID f72e60c7! = f05537b3)... »

    Server.VMDK

    CID = f05537b3
    parentCID = ffffffff

    Server - 000001.vmdk

    CID = a2b9ba8b
    parentCID = f72e60c7---> f05537b3

    Make sure you change the file on the host using the vi editor or - if you want to change the file in Windows - use an editor who is aware of the line breaks Unix (do not use Notepad!)

    Once this is done, I highly recommend that you take another cliché before you on the virtual computer. This prevents existing virtual disk files to be modified, so that you can return to this State where you need. After that everything works as expected, consider deleting all snapshots.

  • Virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created.

    I recently had one of my virtual machines go down and I couldn't connect to access anything whatsoever, so I rode as an extra hard drive to another virtual machine in order to access the data I needed.

    Once I had finished I he took off the other VM and proceeds to the power on the virtual machine, but I got an error of:

    "The virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created." The content of the virtual disk ID parent does not match the ID of parent matching the child content. »

    Reason: The virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created. The content of the virtual disk ID parent does not match the ID of parent matching the child content.
    Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/4e24c6fe-3c2ad61e-a57c-e4115bbbce6c/SNCTrillium/SNCTrillium-000003.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    I read upward through the knowledge base of VMWare on the modified files, but I've never had to do that before and I'm not sure about how to go on this subject as I've never used the vsphere CLI either.

    I am currently using ESXi 5.0.0 with vsphere client 5.0.0. I've attached a screenshot of the error.

    According to the snapshot between SNCTrillium - 000001.vmdk and the basic disk SNCTrillium.vmdk is broken, which means that the basic disk has been changed. I have attached an instant replacement for the SNCTrillium - 000001.vmdk with a fixed string that should allow you to open the virtual machine. However, since I do not know what and how much data has changed on the basic disk, I can't tell you how much data corruption, you will see. So you better take an another snapshot to be temporary once loading hard file attached, in order to ensure the current hard data files cannot be changed.

    Is there a chance to run ls-lisa from the command line (SSH) in the virtual machine folder and provide the output!

    I ask because I'm a little worried about the timestamp of the hard (May 2011). Depending on the size of the files in the snapshot, it seems that the second virtual disk is not really used by the guest operating system and we could come back manually (by editing the .vmx file) on the resized basic disk (100 GB compared to 75 GB for snapshots) without losing important data!

    If you want to revert manually,

    • delete the virtual machine of the inventory
    • backup and then edit the .vmx file (replace "WEBPDMAPPD_1 - 000003.vmdk" with "WEBPDMAPPD_1.vmdk")
    • Move 3 snapshots in a directory temporary sub
    • Add the virtual machine to inventory
    • create a new snapshot to prevent the current hard files to be modified
    • Turn on the virtual machine

    If everything works as expected, you can delete the snapshot files moved and remove the snapshot created in the Snapshot Manager again.

    Now the last work of x file - 000006.vmdk cannot start because the file is based on x - 000004.vmdk.

    Now, I get this message:

  • "The virtual disk parent has changed..." "after removing a few shots

    Hey!

Detailed error explains that his "cannot open disk 0 - 0000004.vmdk or one of the snapshot disks it costs on.» Reason: the virtual disk parent... »

    How can I access any of the existing snapshots in the future? I read that it is necessary to open the virtual disk images and change the CID of this disk image virtual to who should be the one parent. But how do I edit these virtual disk in windows vista? I have no command line tool that extracts only the first 20 lines of a file so that it will be impossible for me to open a vhdk with 600 or 700 MB. Another problem is that (I don't know why) my virtual disks are splitet in so many parts (I said at the beginning that the virtual disk must be a file, but I think splitet VMWare Workstation it because she had to be converted to .vhd (Microsoft) .vhdk... might be?)

  • What has changed in Windows 7 solitaire?

    Solitaire in Windows 7 is different. In the previous OS (Vista) my win percentage was 20%. In win7 is 13% (same computer). In addition, I maybe paranoid, but it seems that very often on the basis of a choice of 2 options (2 Kings at the top battery and 1 slot empty, for example) I move the first King to the empty slot and expose a black 4 where the King was. I don't like black 4S so I do it again and move the second King to the location empty and guess what? It exposes a black 4 where was the second King. Similar situations occur frequently. It's frustrating. What has changed?

    Was this the same 4 black, or was a Spike and the other Clubs?

    If you're going to programs and features / Turn Windows Features On or Off / games / uncheck Solitaire, followed by a restart, then reverse uncheck it and restart once more, you could find yourself with a solitary work?

    You can create another user, if you don't have one and see if they have the same problem.

    The only other thing I can say, is that you give the System File Checker go.
