ESXi 4.1 is almost complete used hard drive... but...

ESXi 4.1 is almost complete used hard drive... but... in fact, it is not true.

On my server ESXi, I see that I have only 200 M freestyle, when I opened the virtual machines that use this disk, it shows me that 53 G isn't free, 200 m.

Can someone show me dirrection to solve this problem.

Hello

Regardless of the type of disc you use once in VMware ESX allocates space on the disk it will never resume. It will happen as two snacks of thin disc as thick disk. Only difference is that the thin disk allocation is on request and for thick it is pre configured.

Now, when we see inside the guest, he will see some quantity using comments he will never see beyond that, because of virtualization. But the esx host is aware of what his size allocated to this disc.

Please see KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1022242 for more information on the types of disk in VMware.

  • Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

    I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

    > I formatted my PC and install XP

    No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

    So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

  • 750-103D want: I want to install a 3rd HARD drive but the system will not start

    Desktop motherboard has 5 heads SATA (of which 2 were used for the first DvD and HARD disk in the original Setup) and the box has 3 bays for HARD drive, but there is no additional power from the PSU cable.

    I installed a new SSD as my main and designated record the 1 TB of HARD drive that came with the desktop as my secondary school and office works just great.

    Now I tried to install an another 1.5 TB HARD drive for storage. I used a SATA power cable Y (1 male to 2 females) to extend the existing cable. However, to my great disappointment, the system is unable to start up. I guess that supply POWER 300 watts current is insufficient to start 3 disks to a single supply with extension cable.

    1] sells HP a 500-watt power supply with power cable for SATA 3 HARD drive?

    [2] is a compatible power supply on the market (ie. not HP) who can stand in 750-103D envy? Brand/model and how much?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Probably, you have misunderstood my response.  Unplug the original HD boot drive.

    Your question is not the power supply lack of insufficient power.  I have observed remains with HP computers with a power supply that would support three HDs off a 300 Watt SATA power cable voltage.

    Perhaps the third HD is formatted incorrectly or is defective.  The other possibility is that your SATA Y cable connection is defective.  You also need good 5V and 12V.  In addition, if you have made any hardware changes to your PC you have not indicated, then it is possible that you may need a bigger power supply.

  • I hear the ticking in the hard drive, but diagnostic tool (S.M.A.R.T) says his health.

    Pavilion p6010in Desktop for 3 years using (product number: NC875AA #ACJ), for a few months, I hear the ticking in my hard drive, I suspect that it is its failure of hard drive, but my diagnostic tool (SMART) explains his good health.

    Sound indicates a problem. I also use Ubuntu 12.04 with vista (even ubuntu says that the disc is in good health).

    I'm confused why the sound is similar to a click of death as seen in the link (my hard drive Seagate Barracuda 500 GB) below

    Seagate desktop with heads of default drive get stolen, then clicking sound.

    Please tell me what I should do now. I also Plan to upgrade to Windows 8 (I won't use Ubuntu anymore).

    I suggest you replace your hard drive before the upgrade to avoid all these problems. The new hard drive should be the same size or larger that one you have for the recovery discs to work properly. Install Windows 8 on the new hard drive.

    Once Windows 8 has been installed successfully make a new set of recovery disc for Windows 8 so that if everything fails, you can the recovery disc restores on Windows 8.

    original title: installation of Windows 7

    Hey Joe,

    I suggest that you visit the gigabyte website for your region (and/or the site global http://www.gigabyte.com/?f=g ) and check your motherboard for compatibility with Windows 7.

    The problem you are experiencing would imply that Windows 7 has no native driver support for your disk controller, so if Gigabyte don't have drivers that you are locked unless you buy a discreet disk controller that is compatible Windows 7.

    Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

    On the other hand, you have this posted in a forum of Windows XP when it is really a problem of Windows 7.

  • I reformatted my hard drive, but now I can't get my startup disk to run. It is damaged!

    I reformatted my hard drive, but now I can't get my disc to run.it departure is damaged!

    original title: help!

    Hello

    Plenty of detail? Or it came with your system - OEM? OEM, you should consult the manufacturer of your system.

    Find a friend with one that you can copy that works if you can. (see note below)

    If you have your product key you can use DVD a friend if it is the same OEM version if not the
    retail version - also needs to be same 32 or 64 bits. You can legally copy DVDs as long as
    you use your own product code. As the creator of the system will sell you another copy of the DVD
    cheap since you already have windows. So if you have an OEM version, you can copy a friend
    DVD if it's the same OEM version and if you have a retail version, you can copy the retail a friend
    DVD - in both cases, you should use your own product key.

    Note:
    (To use a copy of an OEM drive, it must be for the same brand and computer model - more
    OEM uses the same disc on a small series of models and it must be in the same
    limited if not exactly the same model.)

    Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

    Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

    Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

    Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

    Hello Vishal,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.
