• Determine the unused space in the virtual hard drives

  I will determine the unused space in my virtual hard drives.  I want to:

  • Select a virtual machine

  • the first vmdk disk is always the OS disk in this environment.  How much space was put in service, and how much is actually used?

  • The other disks are data application.  What is the total space on these non-OS disks, and how much of this space is actually used?

  Thank you!
  

  You then get the results when you run this adapted version?

• I want to view the properties of folders of files and the size of the files used on the right by clicking on them and the properties of the workstation to see the disk space used. __

  I have trouble finding the disk space used by files and folders individually and when I try to know how much is consumed and free by right click on my computer.  This was easy in XP, but I can't get the answers I need to analyze which uses space, where and how.  What is happening with this?

  Hi NativeLegal Eagle,

  Usually, right-click on the file or folder and clicking the properties option will give the details of the file or folder. The details include, type, size, location, size of the file on the disc etc.

  Make a right click on my computer will not give the details of available disk space on the computer.

  If you want to know the amount of space consumed by a program, then it can be found in the Add/Remove Programs window.
  a. Click Start, click Run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click ok.
  b. in the list, we can find the total space used by individual program running on the computer.

  Note: If nothing is listed in the file properties window or a file, then provide us with more information, so that we can better help you.

• Disk management does not allow me to partition the unused space

  When I was installing windows I deleted my primary partition and an extended partition. I wanted to consolidate the space in a larger primary partition, but the installer would not consolidate the unused space, there were a multitude of unused space in each partition, I hit refresh, I have sailed on the installation and then headed in disk management again and still no dice. But it allows me to create a primary partition, but not a different scope, so I figure wrong install and try again, but within windows, still no dice. The only option available for this space is 'create new simple volume', I can walk through and get ready to create, but when I hit ok on the last window I get an error "There is not enough free space on the disk to complete this operation" if I put it to the maximum or minimum size, I get the same error.

  Is it possible to go back on my partition? or I'll have to scrounge something like partition magic and forget trying to do with windows?

  Hi Devarian,

  Thanks for the replies.

  When you want to extend a partition, for example the primary partition that you have installed on Windows 7, you should right click on the partition and select EXTEND the VOLUME.  Windows look for free space and give you a reading of how much free space is available to extend the volume of.

  Are you right click on the main partition or free space?

  Thank you

• Reclaim the storage space for the Index tablespace. The fastest approach

  Hello world
  My version of the database is 10.2.0.4
  I have a partitioned table that has divided the indexes that are found on a tablespace called INDEX01.
  the space allocated to the tablespace INDEX01 is about 10 terabytes, however the space used is about 1.5 tera-bytes.
  I need to recover to the level of the storage space. I decided to recreate the tablespace INDEX01.
  I did not create index scripts so I came with two approaches
  1. to move the index partitions in a different tablespace, drop the tablespace INDEX01, recreate the tablespace INDEX01 and then replace the index partitions.
  2. intentionally mark the unusable index partitions, drop the tablespace INDEX01, recreate the tablespace INDEX01 and then rebuild the index partitions.
  
  step 2 seems faster but I need to know if it would work and impact? (the tablespace would pass with the marked index unsable partitions) and I hope that the original table is not affected?

  Since you're talking about the abolition of the index, I guess that you have application downtime. Since this is the case, you may want to consider the fact that an index rebuild can analyze the existing index in order to collect relevant data - provides the index is not unusable, and you do not have a reconstruction in line.

  The fastest option - if INDEX01 is a locally managed tablespace - would probably be:
  

  
  Find partitions of index holding at the beginning of the file and rebuild (nologging, parallel, perhaps for speed) in a different tablespace.
  Find the clues that are 'next' in the repository and rebuild in the same tablespace. If the tablespace is locally managed, then the index will fill the empty space at the beginning of the files.
  Work on the files gradually moving toward the front of the space of tables, indexes, and leaving the 'next' bit of the empty file.
  Finish by copying back the small number of partitions of index you rebuilt in the tablespace to spare (and drop this tablespace).
  Shrink the large tablespace.

  Jonathan Lewis

  p.s. I wrote a small script some time ago to report the measure ordering in a tablespace - it can help you to choose the order of rebuild.

• XP partition low disk space. How to exploit the unused space on other partitions?

  My XP installation reported a low disk space. It's on a 20 GB partition. The biggest space hogs are "C:\WINDOWS" and "C:\Documents and Settings\Allen\Local Settings" (Allen in me), both with 8 MB.  I install most apps on another partition of 200 GB.  My data are also on another partition (250 GB).  I'm surprised that the C: partition got so full.

  When I installed first the o/s, I moved "My Documents" to the 'data' partition, using the built-in functionality of XP (I forgot how, now). I can do the same thing with "C:\Documents and Settings"?

  If this is not possible, can I extend the existing partition without having to reinstall the operating system?

  Thank you!

  Are C and D partitions separate on the same drive or separate internal drives?

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

• Reclaim the unallocated space - right of partitions

  I have two hard drives on my computer.  Recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit professional.  After data transfer, removal of previous operating system, I have unallocated space both disks located on the right side (as shown in disk management).  On the first disc, unallocated space is to the right of the only partition on the disk - the main partition.  On the second drive, unallocated space is to the right of a pair of partitions - the primary partition and logical partition.

  First, I want to add to the main partition unallocated space.

  On the second, I add 1/2 on the unallocated space on the main partition, the other 1/2 to the logical partition.

  Disk management does not partition to the left.  So, how can I add disk space unallocated right at existing partitions (on the left).

  Appreciate any help.

  Thanks Palcouk!

  Took time for me to get there (my computer was not dead in the water, in order to recover the unallocated portions of the disk was not urgent)... but I used the program you suggested.  It was working fine.

  1/3 of my disc of Microsoft disk management could not recover (which was empty unallocated space) is now part of my OS partition (C :) and the partition I created for programs (p).  (All data from there, files are on a second drive - for many years now, I've kept my data on a 2nd drive w the OS on the 1st disk).

• Satellite A80 135 impossible to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disk

  Hello

  Ive got a laptop 2005 Satellite a80-135 that worked very well until I tried to format the HDD after a performance of Ram boost operation (kingston 1 gb Ram module).

  Just after that, the computer started showing software problems and finally crashed;
  So I decided to reinstall the entire operating system yet. and here, I found the problem I really hope you can help me

  The thing is that I can't format my hard drive to my cd player (with recovery CD in) when the machine is restarted.
  In theory, start the Panel menu should appear after the computer reboot with the C key simountaneously key but nothing happens.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Simply, the C button the STRANGE start.
  You can also try to press F12 after the laptop has been powered.
  Then the start menu should appear on the screen and then you could choose the ODD (optical disc) in order to boot from the CD.

  If this is not possible, the question is perhaps related to WEIRD malfunction or recovery disk.
  Maybe the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc properly and so the laptop can not boot from the disc.
  You can try to copy the recovery CD using another computer and might try to start using the copied CD.
  If it does not the problem might be related to the WEIRD failure.

• Error already have the maximum number of partitions, impossible to reclaim the unallocated disk space

  Original title: recovery disk unallocated space - please help

  I bought a lenovo z370 and it came with a partition of a disk c with 653 GB NTFS and d lenovo 30 GB drive and two other drives without names like d or e simply unamed with 200 MB of space and another with 14 GB of space... now to partition C drive more far I used the shrink option and shrunk 200 GB which now shows as unallocated space and when I try to create a new volume on it it says I already have the maximum number of partitions... What do I do now? How to restore this 200 GB of unallocated in my c drive space or do in another player... Please please help

  And see if I've followed the process this last link of how to re-partition my drive is what I did in the first place and because I got 4 partitions as I detailed it in the other answer, I have written that if I reduce my c drive, it becomes unallocated space, and even with the new volume Wizard does not become a player since I get an error message have already 4 partitions...

• Impossible to install the operating system using the product on Satellite 1110 recovery CD

  I had to replace my hard drive after the failure, but impossible to install Windows XP Home (Home) from the recovery CD. I followed the instructions on the CD case, but nothing happens, just a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen. If I try to install XP on a disk (which I just can't finish because it is already registered), then the installation begins as it should. A disc of windows 2000 installs also successfully.

  I realize that it could be the drive itself, but it does not appear the disk is not bootable. I will be grateful for suggestions.

  Hello Simon

  Supplied restore CD is bootable. If I remember well, you should have 2 recovery (1/2 and 2/2) CD. It sounds stupid, but you can try to start the procedure of facilities using CD 2/2. A few months ago, I read a topic where a member of the forum has reported on the incorrect labelling of CD.

• Impossible to format the unallocated space

  I have a microsd card to 8 GB which somehow got formatted to 4 gig, leaving the other 4 GB unallocated. nothing I have tried seems to correct this problem. diskmanagement does nothing to solve this problem. any ideas?

  Hello
  Thank you for coming back to us. Do you see an extra space after the 4 GB you surrently use in disk management? If Windows does not detect the 4 GB remaining, then you won't have the option of extending because there is no free to extend to unpartitioned space. You can only get the options to reduce or to remove, but not extend. If this is the case, you may have a defective USB because they always Setup to use the entire disk.
  If you see a space and it shows about 4 GB and has a drive letter with it, associtated then it has been split into two partitions and you can access the extra 4 GB via the computer, or right click and select open.
  You can also delete the second partition and must then be able to extend the first... creating one big partition.

  IF you have free space after the partition of 4 GB and you are not able to use the options to change the size, here are some things to check:

  You must be logged on as a s Adminitrator
  You need to make sure that the unit is unlocked. (some have a small switch.
  Some devices may need software drivers to use. Check online for the make and model to see if there's information about using it.

  There are also free partitioning utility on the web. Example: (www.partition-tool.com), Mark <> Microsoft Partner

• Impossible to move the mouse cursor using the trackpad on laptop Sony and some of its functions does not work.

  Former title: Sony trackpad not working no-Windows 8

  Hi guys,.

  I have a sony vaio s series that I bought last January. It comes preinstalled with windows 8, and I use it only about 2 - 3 times a week. 2 weeks ago my trackpad stopped working because I can't move my cursor. I can zoom in and zoom out, and other things, but there is a problem with some functions of the trackpad. I checked the synaptic driver and it says that it is up-to-date.
  now, I suspected that it might be a hardware problem, so I sent it to sony Service Center because it is still under warranty. Unfortunately, it is not the case and I was informed that it's a software problem. They advise me reinstall windows 8 because it is the only solution to the problem, they believe. (I want to clarify that it is probably not Fn + F1, as when I start the laptop, the trackpad works perfectly fine for about 30 secods and suddenly Soundtracks autour after that).
  I hesitate to do because it is a daunting task and I'm not really intuitive with such things. I wonder if you have any suggestions or if anyone has experienced the same problem.
  My hunch is that a windows update is responsible for this, but I'm not entirely sure. Indeed, 3 weeks after I bought my laptop, that this has already happened to my once but after the reboot, the trackpad has worked well. now even by restarting the computer does not help. Basically, I have to use a mouse which is not convenient when I'm on the road...
  Thank you very much! appreciate any help I can get, really. I'm about to want to sell my new laptop T_T

  I finally solved the problem. I reinstalled the driver in safe MODE. Hope it could be useful to someone else
