Thanks for your reply. Yes, it's showing as unallocated, but because it's a system (C:\) drive I can't extend it by using Diskpart utility I can do for other readers.

There are different ways to do this for Win 2003 (easy in 2008, has expanded in the GUI). For Windows 2003 you could close the virtual machine, get the VMDK on another Windows Server, use Diskpart or another tool to extend partition here - since it is not the system partition / boot. Then mount it in the original virtual machine.

Official VMware training, they recommend a free tool from Dell, called extpart.exe. Simple tool command-line which allows to extend the system partition / boot when the virtual machine is running. Check it out and try if you wish.

It is on the FTP of Dells site at ftp.dell.com/app, any logon not required.

  • Change the drive letter of the system drive on Windows XP SP2

    Hello.

    There is a certain task I want to accomplish, but I can't figure out how. Here's the situation:

    I have 2 hard drives, each separated into 2 partitions. 1 disk partitions have the letters C: and G: assigned on them.

    The drive 2 partitions receive letters D: and J: . I have two installations of Windows XP, one on disk 1 (C: partition) and the other on disk 2 (D: partition).

    What I want to do is change the letter of the D: partition ( E: letter, even if it doesn't really) . As you probably know, Windows does not allow me to do that because D: is a system partition / boot. So, I was wondering if there is another way to achieve this, without risking damage to the system.

    I would be grateful for any help.

    You can correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect it came because you installed to C on disk 1, and then, without disconnecting the drive 1, installed to D on disc 2.

    If you had unplugged disc 1 before installing the second XP on disc 2, the Windows partition on drive 2 would also named drive C. A clean re-installation of Windows on the drive with the drive disconnected 1 2 is the only way to remedy this I know.

    When you reconnect the disk 1, it will assign other letters for the partitions on disk 2 and vice versa. Having established the two XPs, I would recommend that you delete the drive letters for the other XP system using disk management.

    How do you dual-boot at the moment? By changing the BIOS hard drive boot order? Or by the manipulation of boot.ini file? EasyBCD should help with the latter, you can download the commercial version free from here...

  • VMware Converter error - error Windows 2003 Sp2 to 95%

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated I have a quality assurance team to test the 2003 64 bits and at the present time, they are unable to do so because they do not receive an IP address from the scope of the Labmanager.

    Thank you

    Nadine

    You are missing something:

    C:\sysprep\i386\$OEM$

    This file should be present in the directory SYSPREP on the Lab Manager, if not, then something is missing.  I believe that Lab Manager that creates during Setup, but you can do ths following

    First of all, we need to make a folder path that looks like this

    sysprep\Win2k3_64\i386\$ OEM$

    In the oem folder, make a txt file named:

    Cmdlines.txt

    Open the file and just put this in it:

    \[Commands]

    'TAG_RUN_CUSTOMIZATION_EXE '.

    This should replicate to have the correct file:

    C:\Program VMware Lab Manager\Tools\CustomizeGuest\Windows\Sysprep\Win2k3_64\i386\$OEM$\cmdlines.txt

    (Note that your way this may differ on the Lab Manager server)

    Once this is done, you will need to rebuild the sysprep packages before deploying again.

    Note, you will need to each sysprep folder path too.

  • System crash when I install the bluetooth driver in windows 8.1

    HP Pavilion 15-e034tx

    When I install bluetooth driver in system failure windows 8.1 with this error "unhandled Thread Exception system.

    Bluetooth hardware ID: PCI\VEN_1814 & DEV_3298 & SUBSYS_18EC103C & REV_00

    Sir where is Bluetooth for Windows 8.1 driver?

    can someone help me please?

    Hello everyone I found the solution to this problem of Bluetooth. First of all, I want to share the essue of Blutooth hand in windows 8.1.

    History is actually a bit interesting: Microsoft has fixed a bug in the rollup of November which exposed a bug previously hidden in Bluetooth drivers for Ralink/Mediatek, resulting in all the world with a fully-updated Windows 8.1 and Ralink bluetooth (very common in low price/low-end systems) to BSoD unless the bumps users to a system restore point before updates of November. So yes, there are sometimes dangers for fixing bugs.

    Basic requirements:

    1. all drivers for HP laptop, BIOS and windows 8.1 implemented to date with the latest updates.

    File Requirements:

    1 8.1 Windows file update kb2917488 - x 64 (download link)

    http://www.4shared.com/RAR/CP-Ov9Hv/blutooth_update_fix.html

    2. Ralink software Bluetooth driver (windows 8 or 8.1 Windows)

    Basic steps:

    First check windows update, download and install any updates. Also download and install the latest driver for windows 8.1

    Download file update 8.1 for Windows kb2917488 - x 64 in 4shared link. (File name: Bluetooth fix)

    kb2917488 - x 64 Windows 8.1 updated in.cab(cabinet file) If you need to know how to install the .cab file installation.

    The .cab file installation steps

    Open the administrator command prompt and run the following command to install and integrate the Archives of Cabinet:

    Pkgmgr/ip/m:.cab / quiet

    Or,

    start/wait pkgmgr/ip/m:.cab / quiet

    Replace with the path (location) for the file .cab and with the file name of the cab without parentheses. If the CAB file is in the current directory (same directory where the command is executed, the path can be ignored.

    Example: pkgmgr /ip /m:C:\Users\User update fix\windows8.1-kb2917488-x64_43f3b89601d407a00cbf87297ab1ddb0ba1c4619.cab/quiet

    (If you do not understand the method of installing the .cab file search for it on google)

    This command silently install the Windows kb2917488 8.1 update file - x 64 in your system... complete installing the automatic system successfully reboots (wait automatic reboot)

    Now you can install your old windows 8 Ralink Driver Bluetooth software or update the latest driver with HP Support Assistant in windows 8.1.

    (Note: install all the drivers to run as Administration) (Sorry for the bad English)

  • Expand the C partition in Windows Server (not not using diskpart)

    Hi Experts,

    I have an of Windows 2003 virtual machine that has a 12 GB C drive only. I need to decompress. I know that we can use diskpart to extend the drive, but the problem is here that the hard disk is divided into two partitions (C and D), because of which even if I increase the size under the ESX, I don't then expand in Windows using diskpart as it is said there are two partitions on the same disk. Someone help me!

    DISKPART & gt; Select volume 1

    Volume 1 is the selected volume.

    DISKPART & gt; extend

    The volume you have selected may not be extended.

    Please select another volume and try again.

    Hello!

    Normally, you will only be able to extend the partition that has free space immediately after it on the drive (and this is where the free space is added when you expand the virtual disk). So, if your disk layout is like this:

    DISC

    (block0 |) Partition1... | Partition2... | Free space.........................................| last block)

    you will only be able to extend Partition2

    This is why it is recommended to create a partition per virtual disk.

    In your case, I'd watch if it is possible to:

    (1) add another virtual disk to the virtual computer and create a partition (say f :)

    (2) move the data from the disk D: (Partition2) the newly created disk (if the existing D: holds a swap file, you need to create a swap file on the new drive, and then delete D: pagefile in computer properties > Advanced tab > performance settings > Advanced tab)

    (3) change the drive letters in the Disk Manager (change the drive letter to D: in a free r: one, for example, then change to your new drive d :) drive letter)

    (4) possibly restart the virtual machine to see if all the services are running as expected

    (5) use of the Disk Manager to delete the Partition2 (after this your vdisk that holds Partition1 should have lots of free space immediately after Partition1 and it is expandable)

    (6) use diskpart, extpart or any other utility to develop the Partition1

    (7) avoid creating multiple partitions on virtual disks in the future

    I hope this helps.
