Fusion: convert the disc more fixed disk size?

How can I convert a virtual disk of fixed size in a disc more?  My VM is only about 35 GB but my fixed disk, 75 GB, making backups very long and tedious. I wish that I had chosen a disc more when I used the converter, but I did not. And now I seem to be stuck with my choice. It's a Windows XP virtual machine.

Either way, I use my virtual machines inside a Sparsebundle - which makes it much more sympathetic to back up using Time Machine. Instead of trying every single time to 75 GB of backup, Time Machine backs up just slices the sparsebundle who changed - usually just a few gigabytes of data. There is a small performance hit when using virtual machines inside a sparsebundle (and it can be a significant performance hit if your VM is the heavy disk activity), but the benefits of having quickly backups Time Machine own outweighs the disadvantages, in my opinion.

Now if I could just convert my virtual disk in a disk "growing" instead of a fixed, there will be even less backup... ideas? It seems that VMware Workstation is a virtual disk manager application that would do exactly what I need, but I do not have a copy of the workstation.

Thank you

I try to understand. To paraphrase:

1 VMware Fusion Virtual Machine--> settings-->--> States of HDDs for the single disk assigned to the size of the disk is 75 GB, Unchecked "Pre-allocate disk space" and Unchecked "divided into 2 GB files.

2. Windows Disk Management says that you have a single disk with a single partition of size to 75 GB and more, only 35 GB of the partition is used.

3 OS X Finder said that the size of the beam of the virtual machine is more than 75 GB.

4. under Windows, VMware Tools--> Shrink is called.

5 and later, the Finder OS X says that size is still more than 75 GB.

Is the above correct?

      Note: the command of inflation indicates the percentage of completion.

    • If the VMDK virtual disk is thick, convert the drive eager to zero thickness using the vmkfstools --eagerzero command. For example:

    1. do I need to run the two commands?

    2 will. that affect data on these discs?

    Hello.

    The disc is not thin provisioned (thinProvisioned = false), then the command ' vmkfstools - inflatedisk ' is not necessary.  Running the ' vmkfstools - eagerzero "command should not affect all data on the disk, but it is always a good idea to make sure that you have a backup before you run all disk commands.

    Good luck!

  • LabVIEW RT 8.5 puts a limit on the FAT32 partition / hard disk size?


    Hi Reevem,

    I did some research on this problem and I believe that 8.5 real-time will not have a problem with larger hard drives. However, you will need to use a 3rd party utlity like our time format disc formatter and Microsoft, will limit the size of partition of 32 GB.

    It is also mentioned here that the real-time does not work with a hard drive that is larger than 128 GB. So, I would recommend a smaller drive to 128 GB.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you very much.

    You'll have to do it from the console.

    Basically, you'll copy the existing one and make the new thin.

    The command is (or something like that)

    vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/volumename/VMNAME/source.vmdk d thin d 2gbsparse /vmfs/volumes/volumename/VMNAME/destination.vmdk

    Then, you will need to remove the old hard of the prompt and add the new.

    I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

    Thank you

    Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

    If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

    I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

    Thank you much for the help...

    Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

  • Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    This has two questions:

    1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

    2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

    3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

    Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

    The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

    Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

    Is there a way to get what I need?

    That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

    Thank you.

    After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

    Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

    A. take backup

    1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

    B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

    1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

    Cs diskutil list

    2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

    I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

    Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

    and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

    This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

    2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

    Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

    3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

    C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

    1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

    D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

    1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

    2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

    3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

    4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

    -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

    -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

    -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

    5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

    It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

    Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

    For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

    Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

    6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

    7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

    E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

    2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

    F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

    Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

    1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

    6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

    The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

    The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

    G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

    1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

    Cs diskutil list

    6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2

    / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

    3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

    4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

    5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

    8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

    diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

    Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

    In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

    So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

    9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

    diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%

    10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

    11 exit the terminal, go back to OSX El Capitan install screen and select the name of the fuser unit 'Macintosh HD' proceed to begin the installation of the os x for installation.

    12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.

    13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.

    14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.

  • Check the disc 'coherence' at startup about 3 times now (no more)

    Hello, I had a strange thing that I don't understand occur several times (3) start-up called "checking disk consistency." I am a moderately (or less) located user. I have windows XP: (, IE8, 32 - bit, SP3, hmm, that's all I think.) I would just know what that means and if there is anything I can do to fix (prefferably for free). Thank you very much!

    If you want to see if your volume/drive is 'dirty', why not just do this:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is your disc dirty or it is not dirty?

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    The reason is to try to understand why it comes randomly as chkdsk runs only if the disc dirty but the oringal title is: check the disc 'coherence' at startup about 3 times now (no more)

    I want to know why it happens sometimes and not
  • convert the disk basic dynamic - not an option

    Hello. I found this article (314343 KB) and attempted to convert a dynamic volume to my hard drive so that I can extend so that it uses the unallocated space. I followed these instructions:

    Convert a disk from basic to dynamic disk

    Use the disk management snap-in in Windows XP to convert a disk from basic to dynamic disk. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
    2. Click Startand then click Control Panel.
    3. Click performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Toolsand then double-clickcomputer management.
    4. In the left pane, click disk management.
    5. In the lower pane, right-click the basic disk that you want to convert, and then clickconvert to dynamic disk.

    I'm stuck at this point, because when I right click on this drive, "convert" was not an option. Is there another way to do this without having to buy software? I tried to use Acronis Disk Director, but he won't do anything more than 100 MB with the trial version.

    The computer is running XP Pro. Thank you.

    You must be a right click on the partition. But you must click on the disc (a box before all the partitions on the disk with all the things written as disk 0 Basic etc.) make a right click on it and then click on convert to dynamic. either go to command prompt by running type cmd. Enter the following commands with each line ending with:

    DiskPart
    list disk
    Select disk 0 (where disk 0 is your drive you want from the previous command)
    convert DYNAMIC
    output
