Hey, I have a VHD file on my D drive which takes place 188Gbs. What will happen if I removed it?

All of a sudden, I get a notification that there is little or no space on my hard drive (D) and I have nothing installed on this computer in a very long time.  Under the image of the file system is where is this VHD file and it is 188Gbs.  Someone told me exactly what it is (technically), but I don't really understand.  They also said that it is an outrageous amount of space for a virtual hard disk to meet.  Can I delete it?

Drive hard virtual is a virtual disk and is normally generated by a program like Virtual PC virtualization, VMWare etc. They allow you another PC as a program on your primary PC.

When a virtual PC is set up you need to create a single file that contains all the files on a PC. However, even if you can drive to be similar in size to a real PC for more real space is much smaller. Normally, when you set up a virtual drive you can set at 100 GB, but you normally specify the actual file to only be as big as the information contained in this.

Regarding can remove you, if you have no idea where it came from probably yes. However to be sure, it is possible to mount a virtual hard disk as if it were another drive in your computer. In this way, you can check and see what are the contents.

Right-click on computer and select manage.

Click on disk management and wait for the load utility.

After that that it has loaded right click on disk management and Attach VHD. Navigate to the location of the file and select it.

Now, in computer, you must have an additional drive which is the VHD file. Navigate to the bottom and see if you can work it out where it came from.

Following the same sequence, you can also create a VHD, the default values that are fixed size and all the free space on the disk, sounds a bit like what you have.

    Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

    By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

    Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

    But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

    Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

    Hope this makes things clearer.

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

    Hi there from Hamburg/Germany. Since the last two updates of the CC, Photoshop crashes 95% when I work with masks. This gets really annoying when you know that I have about 120 photos to retouch to a customer. Any ideas what's happening here? Never had this problem before. Now, every time I create a layer mask, or try to work on a Photoshop freezes completely, forcing me to restart and (most of the time unless I have record EACH step) start of a scratch. Which is pretty much annoying... any suggestions?

  • I want to copy all my jpg files to another directory (a portable hard drive) with some of the same names of JPGs, but not necessarily all. What will happen? The word 'COPY', will be some of the deleted files be added or nothing at all.

    I have a LOT of pictures in my computer (over a thousand) and I want to put them on a portable hard drive, I bought (1 terabyte) but I won't write any of the names of existing files with different images. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Do I need software or special hardware? I tried the copy/paste standard as well as move files to the new directory, but it seems that I can lose files. I'm not sure if the files that are missing (or lack, in my opinion) are not copied. When I finished emptying the directory, it shows that it is empty but the new directory does not seem to have any additional files that should be there based on the counting of the files before and after.

    Thanks for any help you can provide, Bill

    1: right-click and then drag the pix on the external drive. Release the right mouse button and choose copy here. They are there?  Now remove it from the computer.

    2: you can see pix of the same name overwrite each other, or be done with (1), (2), etc.. But even in this case, they will be interspersed with the former. If keep you them in separate folders with different names, that should not happen. Personally, I rename all the pix before storing them. You can select the set instead of the code of the camera and a group, rename the first holiday 2009 yo and the rest will be renamed holiday 2009 and each havf will one (1), (2), (3), after them.

    It is also a nice freeware tool which, among other things, can rename a group of photos easily.

  • The file c:\Windows\MEMORY. DMP was removed, what will happen without it?

    Using antivirus software to remove the malware file c:\Windows\MEMORY. DMP has been removed.  If for any reason, the system crashes, the system will create a new c:\Windows\MEMORY. DMP file? If this is not what would happen without the said file? To what extent it is essential to restore the said file?

    However, there is no sequel. Memory dumps are created to help users to discover the cause of a system failure. If the problem oersist the system will create futher landfills.

  • What will happen if I merge my file folders x 86 program on another hard drive?

    I have three hard drives in my PC and you want to combine the files Program Files x 86 starting from the following locations to a folder on the third hard disk.
    Total size
    C: drive is a SSD 128 GB with Windows 7 64 bit installed. Readers (with Windows XP installed) D: and F: are each 500 GB HARD drive at 7200 RPM drives.

    D:\Program Files (x 86): Windows XP hard drive

    Location to move to
    F:\Program files (x 86): backup unit to consolidate/merge files of

    My question is: what happens if I merged all the files together into one and delete the files from their current location, other than maybe broken shortcuts?

    Only (x 86) C:\Program is really active, unless since the last installation of Windows, you actually told an installer of programs to use one of the other locations, they are irrelevant.

    Move the folder C:\Program (x 86) only is not simple and not supported as defined in the registry. If you want to reduce the size of the folder, you will have to reinstall applications and where they plan a custom installation option use to set somewhere else.

  • I have an iMac at the beginning of 2009, which takes 5 minutes. to start. I did google and firefox as well as and VPN are the only things open. How can I speed it up?

    How can I speed it up?

    First start by going to system-> startup disk preferences and select your startup disk.  Sometimes after an update OS X startup disk becomes unselected for the firmware needs to address each possible boot device, including USB, SD card, DVD, network, etc... and wait before Timeout interface moves the next possible candidate.

    After that, start in safe mode
