Increase D: drive of a computer virtual taking snapshots in ESX 4.0

Hello

I need to increase the size of the D: drive on one of my VM, but the option is grayed out, if I delete pictures then I can increase the size by clicking on change settings.

Is it possible to increase the size of it without deleting snapshots?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The answer is certainly 'no', you cannot increase the size of a virtual disk with snapshots. Using the X command - vmkfstools to increase the size of the basic disk will make unnecessary snapshots.

  • Who can create a virtual hard drive in my computer?

    Is there a Q: drive in my C drive. I did not create it. This is all of a sudden. I tried to remove it, but I get an ACCESS DENIED message. When I run software anti spyware such as Norton and Malwarebyes, reports said the Player cannot be parsed.

    This disk has been created by the updates of Windows like Windows Live? What is the purpose of the Q: drive in my computer? What information will be stored in? If it wasn't creaed by Windows, that would do it? What is the danger it poses? How can I get rid of him?

  • is it possible to use external memory to increase the performance of my computer?

    I have a slow xp and each program/app/files in an external drive.
    But I want to know if I can improve the performance of my control memory left him in the external drive.

    Hi cesar vidal,.

    1. What is the total capacity of the hard drive primary?
    2. Since when are you facing problems of performance on the computer?

    Method 1

    There is no way the use of the memory or the space left in the external drive to increase the performance of the computer.

    See the article and check if it helps increase the performance of the computer.

    Slow PC? Optimize your computer for peak performance

    http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/optimize.aspx

    Method 2

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is at the origin of the performance problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Move the HARD drive to the new virtual machine

    I think it's a real simple question, so a simple answer is very well...

    I currently have a computer virtual running windows server 2003 x 86.  This whole system is on C: and the D: is strictly files/shared user.  I need to upgrade this server 2 k 8 R2 x 64.  My plan is to detach the D: to the x 86 box, create a new x 64 VM and reattach the D: from the old server and re-create the shares.

    My question is, when I do that, I would wait to see the security reset on the player?  As in the new operating system will reorganize the security on all of its default value...

    Other issues anyone do with it?  Simple enough?  It is about 300 GB of user data, so I'm just a little nervous about it.  (it is supported of course however).

    Thanks for any info!

    I think that when you remove the drive and re - join a new virtual machine, it will inherit the rights of the current operating system. It is the same concept as if you had a USB HDD shared, connected to a PC, removed and attached to another PC. You would lose your actions and all other settings.

    You should not have problems - make sure to note all the shared available on disk as well as any special permissions (as denies explicit for Active Directory).

    Download drivers

    Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model. Download the driver (s) and follow the instructions to install - every computer is different, so I can't give you exact directions.

    You cannot copy the drivers installed anyway.

    I removed my xp hard drive to another computer and now it says that I have to 'activate' and when I try, I get a weird response and they all but hang up on me.  I used this drive for many years, even the screen shows a picture of my table with flowers in a vase.  What is going on?  How can I get this problem?

    Your hard drive, installed on a computer with Windows XP was preinstalled by the computer manufacturer? If this is the case, then you have a "OEM version" of Windows which is linked to the computer first it is installed on and cannot be moved or reinstalled on another computer.

    If however you have a "Commercial" of XP version that you bought in a store, then you should be able to activate by phone, be aware that move the drive from one computer to another is more often go to work and XP may have problems (device drivers and other issues). The best solution is a clean installation (after you back up your data files).

  • I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process for Windows XP SP3 failed.

    I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine.  The activation process failed.  How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive?  I have the code original and other info.

    original title: Moving the death machine drive

    Hello CarrolScott,

    The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.

    The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.

  • the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily?

    the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily.right now my external backup just my computer that isn't doing me good

    original title: external hard drives

    You don't want to change your external drive to your main drive.

    You can move your music files on the external drive - or you can move other data on the disk to make room for your music on the internal drive.

    What applications do you use to play music?

    As described in the first link below, you can move your full "My Documents" folder on the external drive.  Alternatively, you can simply move your music files.  If such an arrangement would give you a satisfactory performance, however, depends on how your external drive is connected (for example, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, Firewire, network) and other hardware features of your computer.

    Not all of the following conditions will be applied to you, but some of the tips can be useful.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
    • See also:

    " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

    " Forty ways to free disk space ."

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.
