How can extend the existing drive

I'm using VMware Workstation 7 product in which a virtual machine is running WindowsXP.Its D drive was full. Now, I need to extend it.

You can help...

If you do not have enough disk space on the host computer, this should be no problem. Shut down the virtual computer, open the settings of a virtual machine, click the utilities button in the properties of the virtual hard disk. You will find the possibility to expand the virtual disk.

Assuming that the current virtual disk is sparse (more on request) provided - which is the value by default - you must temporarily on the amount of free disk space as long as the current size of the vmdk.

After having developed the virtual disk, you can use "diskpart" to expand the disk in the guest OS (assuming that it's the last partition).

  • Qosmio X 500-165 - how to extend the C drive?

    Just bought the Qosmio X 500-165. Does anyone know how to extend the C drive, I get a sign that it is almost full, despite installing all my programs on the partitioned disks that I created? I need to uninstall the software installed by toshiba?

    Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    The 500-165 X is equipped with 64 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. I don t know the exact partition structure but I assume that Windows is installed on the SSD which is the C drive and HARD drive is your second drive D.

    I recommend to move all files such as photos, videos, music, drive D to improve disk space on c. usually 64 GB SSD should be sufficient for all applications because Windows 7 needs only 20 GB.

    Also, try to reduce the system restore points and delete temporary folders. CCleaner can also help you to clean your system. :)

  • How to extend the existing plugin

    Hello

    I want to create a plugin for my Web application running in Tomcat 6.  Ideally, I could just extend the tomcat plugin to add my metric webapp / JMX port and then see it under my current Tomcat server that Hyperic is already followed.

    does anyone know how to do this?  I'd rather not have 2 different versions of the same tomcat server, and I prefer not to lose the hierarchy of the system.

    Thank you
    Doug

    Hi Doug,.

    The best way to do it is not to change the tomcat plugin, but instead of writing your own plugin that defines a service like as follows:


    ......
    ......

    This will make your children services of the server type "Apache Tomcat 6.0". There are some examples of plugins in the samples directory. Even if they are not specific to Tomcat 6.0 they show you examples of how to add your own service to an existing server.

  • How to extend the C drive?

    I almost filled my C drive, and I want to extend it.

    Using disk management (Windows 7 with admin privledges), I managed to shrink the D drive and have now 180 GB of free space just to the right of the C drive.
    When I right click on the C drive in the lower pane, Expand the Volume... option is dimmed (the Format... and Remove the Volume... are also grayed out).  Disk Management displays the following info on the C drive:
    1. Simple
    2. Base
    3. NTFS
    4. In good health
    5. (Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition)
    What should I do?

    Use EaseUS Partition Master to increase the size of C to your needs.  With the free space between C and D, it is easy to increase the size of C and D to occupy all of the free space. Complications arise when the free space is not adjacent to the partition that you want to add space. It is then the partitioning software is invaluable.

    See solution 3.

    Where will support you up to? You should plan for this. I use a second internal hard drive, but many user use an external USB disk. My computer has the ability to have more than one internal drive and some laptops have two internal drives.

    Personally, I think it should be this way that SMS are not guaranteed delivery. They may fail in the middle and the sender and the receiver cannot ever - if something is important, someone should make a phone call. Then both parties know that the message has been received (assuming that no voicemail).

    If you want more, then check out the text 3rd party programs and see if they will alert up to stop. If you get a lot of text messages, this could be a nightmare.

  • How to extend the C drive capacity

    My virtual instance is Enterprise Edition SP2 Windows, drive C is currently a minimum of capacity,

    Everyone knows how to expand its capacity without formatting?

    You should not try extend a drive while it has a snapshot - it does not work if you specify the vmdk referenced in the vmx file and spoil you your VM if you specify the basedisk.

    So nothing good can out - first remove the snapshot.

    (you must use double quotes if you run applications from command line on a file with spaces in name - your cmd sent was without the quotes)

  • How to extend my C drive volume in Windows 7, so that the disc I want to merge in drive C is not adjacent to the C drive, please help

    How to extend my C drive volume in Windows 7, so that the disc I want to merge in drive C is not adjacent to the C drive, please help

    Jackin salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    When resizing of volumes in Windows7, you must be aware of the following criteria:

    • Only you have the possibility to reduce or enlarge NTFS or RAW (unformatted) partition using Windows 7 tools.
    • When you shrink a partition, files not movable as a page file or a shadow storage area are not resettled. This is why you cannot reduce the size of the Windows beyond volume where these types of files. If you need to reduce the volume, you will need to remove, move or delete the page file or the shadow first storage area, and then reduce the volume and then add the page file or shadow storage on the disk area.
    • If enough bad clusters are found on the disk partition will not shrink.
    • You must be logged on to an administrator account in order to resize Windows Volumes in windows 7.

     

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes of shrinkage

    This section shows must shrink a Windows volume or partition. To do this, we must open the Windows 7 disk management tool. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop , and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The console of the computer management will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'm going to resize the partition E: of 16 GB so that when completed, there is a 8 GB partition and provides another 8 GB of free space I can use for other purposes.

    6. To shrink the partition, just click with the right button on the partition that you want to work with and select reduce . In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, I select shrink.

    7. A screen similar to the one below appears. This screen indicates the size of the current partition you, how you can reduce it to a field where you can enter a specific amount to reduce, and then how big partition will be once it shrinks. By windows 7 default enters the maximum amount that you can reduce the volume, but if you want to change this amount, do so by entering the amount in MB in the enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: field. When you are satisfied with how windows 7 will shrink the partition, click the minimize button.

    8. Once windows 7 is complete decreases the volume, you will be in the disk management screen, but now the partition size will be the size you requested as shown below.

    Now that you have reduced the size of your volume of Windows, you can close the computer management console.

    You have now finished reducing your score and you have the extra space available for use as required.

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes extension

    This section shows that you must extend a Windows volume. To do this, we must open the tool of disk management where we can resize our volumes. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop, and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The computer management console will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'll extend the E: partition so that it uses the rest of the available space on the disc 1.

       
    6. To extend the partition, he just click right-click on the partition that you want to work with, and then select the Extend option. In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, select Extend.

    7. A wizard appears as shown below. Press the Next button to continue.

    8. A new screen, shown below, is displayed allowing you to select the free space available on your local hard disks that you can use to extend the space of the selected partition. It is important to note that Windows 7 allows you to extend a volume using free space on the same drive as well as the other disks. I strongly suggest that you do not extend a volume on a disk with free space of the other. It is because if one of the disks has a hardware failure, then all data on this volume will be removed. Rather just to use the free space on a drive that contains the volume you extend
      .

      As discussed in step 5, for this tutorial we are going to extend my 8 GB partition (drive E :) to the total size of disk 1 using all the available space. As disk 1 is only available free space on my computer, windows 7 automatically select as shown in the image above and use the maximum amount available to extend the partition. If there were other drives with free space that they have shown during the selection available . If you want to extend the volume to a lower amount you can change in the Select the amount of space in MB: field. In the contrary case, press us the button Next .

    9. You will be now be presented with a confirmation screen. If you are sure you want to extend the volume, press the Finish button. Otherwise, press the back button to make changes or the Cancel button to cancel this operation.

    10. Once Windows 7 completed to extend the volume, you will be on the screen disk management, where you can see the amount that you have extended with the new size. An example of this is shown below.

    At this point, you can close the Management window of the computer that your task is completed.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Let me know if it worked.

    You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
    first push.

    How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
    motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
    BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
    the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
    for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
    There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
    your system documentation or check with your provider.

  • How you can extend the SX80 SpeakerTrak 60 codec?

    Hello

    How you can extend the SX80 SpeakerTrak 60 codec? I want to rack mount the codec but saw nowhere a how far the codec can be the 60 SpeakerTrak. Especially concerned about the HDMI cables on both cameras.

    Thanks in advance.

    Mark

    If you use only cables HDMI, we managed to stretch the cameras at 15 metres with a quality cable.  If you use HDMI--> externders Twisted Pair, you can get much larger distances (and different Extenders give you differring distances, but are usually around the mark of 50 m for full HD).  We do it with success in a number of our rooms.

    Of course, as is controlled by Ethernet, the usual limit of 100 meters applies to that as a Cat6 cable length "' copper pure, but you can go away with fiber or with additional active equipment if you really must.

  • Cannot set the Airport Extreme to extend the existing network

    Network WiFi of my holiday home is provided by the router from my ISP (Time Warner). I have an Airport Extreme, which used to be configured to provide the WiFi network to another well, and I would use it to extend the existing on the TWC router network.

    I had a lot of trouble to do a factory reset on the Airport Extreme, but I'm sure I managed (by turning on with the pressed reset button) after several attempts. At least the extreme doesn't show signs of the old network, he has provided.

    When I try to set it up in the Airport utility, he wants only to create a new network. If I click on 'Other Options' and select 'Add to an existing network', the next screen is titled "This Airport Extreme will create a network" and prompts to enter a new network name and password. (Specifying the name of the network current generates an error because the network already exists, as I expect for the creation of a new network.)

    Any ideas on how to tweak this Airport Extreme by extending a network?

    TIA,

    Doug

    P.S. I have reviewed plugging extreme in one of the TWC router EtherNet ports and create its own WiFi network (with the advantage of adding support for 5 GHz), but the last time I tried I lost all connectivity; I'm afraid that the ISP network might protect against too broad network, although the glitch may have been a coincidence. If anyone has experience/ideas on this alternative configuration, I might be willing to try again.

    AirPort Extreme would not be able to connect using a wireless connection and to extend the wireless network of the ISP, but if you can connect the AirPort Extreme to the ISP using a permanent router, wired Ethernet cable, then AirPort Extreme could be used to provide broader coverage of wireless in this way signal.
