Immediate error prealloue expandable disk conversion

Windows 7 x 64, vmware Workstation 12. I'm trying to convert a disk preallocated a growable since half of the 140 GB are not used.

I entered the following command at the command line prompt:

VMware - vdiskmanager.exe - r "D:\Virtual Machines\Server\C.vmdk" t 0 "D:\Virtual Machines\new.vmdk".

Here is the output of this command:

Creation of disc "D:\Virtual Machines\new.vmdk".

Thank you

Now that was fun - thank you for the question.
I can reproduce this now - he actually gives a good indication in the last line before the panic: invalid = adapter

To cause the crash I gave an incomplete descriptorfile:
(Incomplete - well after my own definitions at least - I don't know that if a minimum vmdk descriptor syntax should work with WS 12 has already been documented?
Anyway - I guess you have to set

version = 1

CID = fffffffe

parentCID = ffffffff

createType = "VMFS".

RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

ddb.adapterType = "free".
to be considered as minimal, but valid descriptor for a conversion action. Here, I get a crash if I set only

version = 1

CID = fffffffe

parentCID = ffffffff

createType = "VMFS".

RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

So it seems that vdiskmanager did not expect to ever see descriptorfiles that don't NOT definde ddb.adapter.
It can handle a bad value as ddb.adapterType = "aunt-dorothies-favorite-sausage" with a useful error - but the parameter should be set.
Doesn't really matter if - almost all of the descriptors automatically created should work - manual changes would be the only reason for which I could imagine as a possible reason...

Maybe your problem is caused by the same similar thing? -fix would be easy to verify anyway.

# Disk DescriptorFile

version = 1

#encoding = "windows-1252".

CID = fffffffe

parentCID = ffffffff

createType = "VMFS".

# Description of the measure

RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

# The database disk

#DDB

#ddb.adapterType = "free".

#ddb.geometry.cylinders = "18236.

#ddb.geometry.heads = "255".

#ddb.geometry.sectors = "63".

#ddb.virtualHWVersion = "10".

Red vmdk descriptor crashes with core dump - blue descriptor works.

# Disk DescriptorFile

version = 1

#encoding = "windows-1252".

CID = fffffffe

parentCID = ffffffff

createType = "VMFS".

# Description of the measure

RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

# The database disk

#DDB

ddb.adapterType = "free".

#ddb.geometry.cylinders = "18236.

#ddb.geometry.heads = "255".

#ddb.geometry.sectors = "63".

#ddb.virtualHWVersion = "10".

Don't be surprised - I commented several ddb.parameters - for conversion, they aren't necessary, and I wanted to exclude no side effects using the smallest valid selection.

  • 23 - k027c: ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed

    Hello!

    My computer

    HP Envy tilt 23-k027c TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC (energy star)

    These latest OS Windows 10 (update of Windows 8, which was preinstalled on the computer at the time of the purchase in December 2013)

    Intel (r) Core (TM) 15-457OT CPU @ 2.90 GHz

    Processor speed 2900 MHz

    A few days ago it started showing blue screens of death with a PAGE_FAULT_in_NONPAGED_AREA note all other hours, or sometimes 3 times per hour.

    I went through all the troubleshooting process, finished with a bluescreen debugging possible analysis demonstrating that the ntoscrnl.exe driver might cause the blue screen issue.  And on the morning of the next day my computer greated me with a black screen with an ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed.

    I can still get into the BIOS by pressing ESC at the present time of HP sign appear early attempts to restart.

    BIOS indicates that the hard disk is detected (yay!), so it is not the source of the problem.

    Memory and disk test went well passed, PASSED tests successfully.

    Pushing ' restore the original and exit "in the bios does not help.

    Nothing else works. Only these two ESC and F10 keys.

    How can I fix the system?

    I don't have a HP with PC Restore disc when I bought it. Site Web of HP didn't kits of restoration for the moment.

    What to do?

    SOS help, please!

    It is the computer that I use for work and personal use. There are gigabytes of photos of my family, as well, who desperately, I don't want to lose...

    I'll be super thankful for all reasonable advice and direct instructions!

    The ' ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed. "  May be a simple solution to redo the botmanager file.  This normally requires a bootable DVD with the repair function or a USD bootable with windows and repair function.  Windows 10 is installed, this would be my choice getting either the drive or the USB key.  HERE IS THE MEDIA tool of M$.  Make the work of another PC, DVD or USB and then - on PC - start problem that media and choose repair when loading of the POPup screen.  DO NOT install.  If you install it, it will eliminate your data.

    BTW: 10 Windows is installed, the HP recovery disk will return the PC to Windows 8.

    You can run the checkdisk utility and check both boxes.

    I took my PC to the Geek Squad at my local Best Buy store and it turns out that Windows was just corrupted. All you have to do is to do a full restore using recovery discs. For more information about your model, I would just search on the internet.

  • Solutions error checking the disk and Restore Point, pointing to the other.

    Yesterday, my wife picked up the package of virus Security Suite from somewhere and remove, I picked up an error when the disk check runs at startup. Check disk claims it is an error, check the drive and suggests restore since my last restore point. But when I do this, restore the system claims I have a disk error and I need to run the disk check. Which brings me right to the beginning of this problem.

    I'm running 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium, and have enabled the Windows updates. I use AVG and Malware Bytes to protect my system.

    You can run check disk from safe mode? This is a level of command prompt:
     
    CHKDSK x: /F /R
     
    Where x: is the drive that you control.

    Dokie!

    PS It doesn't look good for me. Good luck and thanks for posting back.

    It has been my experience in the past that a message as this means that either the operating system is corrupt or your hard drive is dead. If your hard drive does not show in the boot order, it's a major sign of a bad HD, but not100%.  There are several free testers HD. Most have the back, which means that you don't have to have an operating system to start their. If you are not able to test your HD with F2 or F11 functions, try one of them. You will need to burn an ISO to a CD file.

    I fear that you will not be able to do it online. In the days previous Storage vMotion could serve to "convert" a ramdisk supplied thin thickness by migrating to a store of data with a different block size. However, with the unified 1 MB in VMFS5 block size that is not an option more (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004155)
