How to reduce the size of the virtual disks on Fusion 3.1.2 my W7 64 bit

A few months ago, I created a DVD install a virtual machine in Windows 7 64-bit 120 GB. I never checked the disk space until a couple of weeks and now I have two hard files over 160GB with a .vmwarevm. I have never created all the files component snap so I am confused how it happened and how to fix this?  After all, a MacBook Pro's as much disk space

OK it looks like the Virtual Machine on which you have is "/ users/dbaps/Virtual Machines.localized/Springer31.vmwarevm" and it is only using the Springer31.vmdk virtual hard disk that is in the Document Virtual Machine Package, so I can't tell you where both .vhd files of ~ 165GB come so you'll have to deal with this on your own.  You have Parallels installed at a certain time or do you have them created with Windows 7?

If you have VMware Tools installed and no snapshots you can use VMware Tools in the OS invited to shrink the virtual hard drive and it should reduce the size of that Windows Explorer shows how much is used.

Also, you have assigned 4 CPU cores of the Virtual Machine and over the commitment of the processor cores will slow things down so I would attribute no more then two and that you set for 1/2 of RAM to the Virtual Machine host and this of course uses more then what you have assigned, some for the purpose of merger of VMware and some video RAM so you use really ~4.4GB of RAM just for VMware Fusion and the Virtual Machine.

  • How to correlate the virtual disk on the disk of OS

    I need to remove one of the virtual virtual machine disks. The problem is that I have two identical drives, more they are on Rible virtual scsi adapters so if I look at the properties of disks in disk management, they are both targets ID 0. Is there another way to correlate the virtual disk belongs to disk inside the BONE?

    Since this is often not easy to understand, I usually create each disc with a slightly different size. That said, resize one of the disks (for example add 1 GB virtual disk) and you will be able to identify the disk that you want to remove.

  • Unable to reduce the virtual disk (Linux RHE 5.4) with converter standalone 4.0.1

    I recently did a V2V with VMware Converter 4.0.1 to move a virtual machine running Linux Red Hat Enterprise VMware Server 2.0 on ESX 3.5 5.4.

    I was surprised to be unable to change the size of the partition. I have a 20 GB partition but only 3 GB is used. So I would reduce it to have a 5 GB partition.

    How can I change the size of partition? I know with Windows, it works well, why with Linux can not do the same?

  • VMware Tools: Shrinkage of the virtual disks - what is - this intended?

    Hello

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the "Reduction of the virtual disks' in VMware Tools used for?  It seems to me that 'reduce the virtual disks' is the only thing that it does not.

    I have a virtual disk in a virtual machine with Windows 2003 Std x 64.  A 'volume' (a partition on a dynamic disk) disk occupies 10 GB on a virtual disk.  The rest of the space on the virtual disk is not assigned.  I want to "shrink" the virtual disk to recover the unallocated space.  But the function "reduce virtual disks" VMware Tools seems to allow me only to "shrink" the disk volume or partition.  I want to reduce the virtual disk.

    What Miss me?

    Thank you.

    Your best best for shrink disk is to use VMware vCenter Converter.  The fret is more than one optimization tool, a bit like a Defrag tool, but will not reduce the size of the disk of the virtual computer.

    Here is a good article

  • Is it possible to reduce a virtual disk in Fusion 3.1.1

    I brought on a Windows XP-based computer by using the tool of migration (Fusion 3.1.1) for the Mac, and it works fine.  However, the XP machine had a 750 GB with only 135 GB disc, and the process still led to a virtual disk of 698 GB (160 GB on the Mac file system).  My Mac has only a 500 GB drive, and although not currently a problem, I wouldn't let the virtual disk to grow without limit.  Thus, using the partition EASYUS tool, I have reduced the size of the XP partition in the virtual machine to 160 GB.  It resulted in my virtual drive, from about 160GB to 220 GB on the Mac.  I then ran the VMware tools on the XP VM to reduce the virtual disk, which went very well and found with the virtual disk, from 220 GB to 240GB on the Mac.  Not exactly what I expected. Are there tools that I can load it on the Mac for this clean?  Seems kind of silly to have a 240 GB housing file a 160 GB XP partition.  The virtual disk is configured as a single file (not the 2 GB strips) and is NOT previously affected.  Any advice?  FWIW, I've already shared to the top of the original machine, so I can't he re-partition, then re - import.

    Thank you

    Starting with the stop of the vm.  .  .

    (1) settings: Add 2nd hard disk of smaller size

    (2) start the virtual machine

    (3) partition disk "nine."

    (4) copy the XP partition and mark it as bootable. Note that your partitioning program must be able to deal with the copy of the partition which is the current boot drive and EASEUS and others handle this very well.

    (5) judgment, does not suspend the

    (6) settings: Remove all the hard drives, but follow the files.

    (7) settings: Add once again this 2nd hard drive of the smallest size, noting that it is now the "Primary Master"

    (8) settings: Add once again the old boot drive, noting that it is now the primary slave

    (9) starting with the smaller hard disk again

    It's not very different than the steps 'real hardware.

  • How to resize the size of the virtual disk for Linux guest OS

    Hello

    I installed VMWare WS 6.5 on my host OS (Vista) and have created a guest VM with RedHat like OS.  When creating, I've specified to create a virtual disk with a size of 8 GB, but have not selected the option of immediate creation - it being understood that VM is assigned additional as needed.  But now, on the comments and space use is 100%.  How can I allocate extra space for the virtual machine?  Also, is it possible to go beyond 8 GB, if so how.

  • How to reduce the size of the jpg file, not the size of pixel?

    I prepare images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one on gifs and the other on the jpg files.
    My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired at 600 dpi pixel dimensions
    It gives me a little crisp image. can I use this what if the file size is quite low (I try for less than 600 KB) or convert to gif with the save for Web and devices.

    Here are my 2 questions (I'll count this solved with each answer)

    (1) when I convert a gif that I have 4 boxes: one with the original size, the other 3 with options but, often, the options are too low resolution for me how can I change my 3 options starting with a higher res gif?

    (2) if I try to reduce the size of the jpg in the image size box I put the lower resolution (400, 300), which reduces the pixel dimensions and the size of the file, but I don't want to change the pixel dimensions. If I reset the dimensions in pixels to the size I want, even if it is a lower resolution that the file size does not change. How to reduce the size of the jpg file using only the resolution, the pixel dimensions not?  PS I tried to play with the checking and unchecking the 3 small boxes (scale of styles, constrain the proportions and re - sample) but nothing has worked.

    GIF is not a type of large file, especially if you want a sharp image. What are the dimensions of the pixel?

    For the web, it is immaterial that the dpi is, only the last pixel dimensions, so once you have that you want to use 'save for Web and devices' and you can reduce quality - 100% being the maximum and 0% being the lowest. I wouldn't save anything less than 55%. For an image of 600 KB, the size must be large enough.
