Increase hard disk space

I have a Windows Server 2008 running on ESXi 4.0. It has about 30 GB free on C:, I'll need to add more space to this server. If I went into the settings on this machine virtual and changed the size of the allocated VM disk space of 60 gigs in 160 concerts that I would have another 100 GB available, right?

I don't think that I want to use any kind of type of Partition Magic software to increase the size of the C: because I have not played with this software before. I might add rather a D: drive on the server.

So, if I add another 100 GB of space on the computer, virtual and then go in the disk of the Server Manager will I see 100 GB of unallocated space that I can then create a partition to format and assign a drive (d) Letter to? Is is - this simple?

Thanks much for any help. I appreciate it.

I'm not 100% sure Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 allows you to increase the size of the partition in the management of the disks on the fly. No need of any tools 3rd party. You can try first to increase the virtual disk e.g. 1 GB and test it and if it works it increase to the desired size.

  • Is it normal that Firefox consumes hard disk space open?

    Last week, I noticed the following 'strange' behavior of Firefox on my iMac (under Snow Leopard 10.6.8): while I have the browser open (usually on Facebook) my hard drive space appears to reduce (for example, 265,14 GB 265,01 GB). When I close Firefox and restart my computer, the amount of hard disk space increases again. He don't know if that happened in the past or if it's something normal. I have not installed extensions or themes, my plugins are all updated and I do not have a lot of navigation (the FB open Startpage and cat enough). Firefox doesn't seem to have performance problems, but I just want to know if there is a problem and if I could solve it somehow.

    Firefox uses more a GB of space on my hard drive regularly (sometimes 2GB). This seems excessive - especially since I put the cache size to 500 MB.

  • Why Lightroom uses hard disk space if my catalog is in dropbox?

    I am new to Lightroom and love it so far. In addition to some external hard drives backup, I keep all my photos on Dropbox and am currently trying to build my library in Lightroom by importing my photos. Because I'll be editing my photos from multiple computers, I decided to move my Lightroom Catalog to Dropbox as well. This way I can continue to ensure coherence between several machines in my library.

    My question, however, is that whenever I have import photos, I seem to be consumes hard disk space on my computer. I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive. I know that I am using the correct catalog (also the catalog only I have for Lightroom) because use space has increased after my import on my dropbox catalog file.

    I don't know there's a logical reason - as I said, I'm new to Lightroom so always understand the ins and outs. But if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it a lot!

    Thank you

    By default copy of Dropbox (and synchronizes forever) all in your remote Dropbox folder on each device that you have connected to your Dropbox account.

    1 GB of files in your remote Dropbox folder will also chew up to 1 GB of space on each hard disk attached to the Dropbox account.

    The power of the box lies in its timing in order to always have the latest file available on any device connected to your Dropbox account. The compromise is that 5 appliances also each stores its own copy of the same file. Any changes made to any file on any device is synchronized by Dropbox.

    You can save space locally by allowing a selective sync in Dropbox and saying Dropbox folders to synchronize and copy it to the local disk and which ignores.

    Are you using the selective sync Dropbox?

  • ESXi 5 - increase the disk space

    Hello


    Info:

    Size of the disk hard server: 4 TB

    What are the limits on the increase in size of virtual machine disk space Windows Server? For example, if C: win2k8 is 80 GB, can I increase to say a maximum of 4000 GB (eg. only 1 VM on the host)?

    I get a new server and I would like to give the VMs small readers and increase disk space needed in the future, if necessary. How will I know how much space the augmentable drive by?

    If I start with young readers, does this mean that I won't be able to increase the disk space, as well as virtual machines with more readers?

    Thank you

    Sorry, my bad. The size of the virtual disk does not depend on the HW version, it's just 5.5 ESXi and VMFS5.

    In any case, some words of clarification:

    • You can create virtual disks with up to 16 TB, in c# Client
    • Large virtual disks > 2 TB-512Bytes (with up to 62 to 64 to no) are not officially supported in c# Client, even if this can work for drives <=16TB (see=""> vSphere 5.5 storage improvements part 1: 62 TB VMDK)
    • Note: You cannot manage VMs with HW version 10 in the c# Client.

  • Hard disk space is down on its own without adding files or programs.

    original title: reduction of disk space

    My hard disk space is down without my add files or programs. I deleted the files, and after a while, I get the message that I'm out of space disk yet. I ran the windows disk cleaner, but the question is not what I need more disk space - is my drive space decreases continuously. For example, yesterday I got 4.89 GB free, today, I 4.80 - without adding anything to my computer. Any suggestion for what can happen and how to fix this?

    Another minor issue I have is that sometimes windows does not start correctly and I can't open any programs after implementation - in this case, I just restart and it works usually then. Don't know which is related to the question of good memory, but maybe it is?

    I am running Windows Vista Business SP2 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X 61.

    Sounds like you have * something * create journals. Try a number of things, first off this program to see if you can find out where your space is being taken.

  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • ESXi 4.0 initial installation 208167 used 80G of hard disk space

    Hello

    I'll put up an old HP Proliant DL360 G5 server with two hard drives, managed by the HP Smart Array P400i controller 146SAS.  With RAID 1 + 0, the LogicalDisk is about 136G.  After you have installed the server ESXi 4.0, vSphere client reported that 51G is available for virtual machines.   See attached snapshot.  Back in 2009, on a new DL360 G6 server, I used the same software to ESXi 4.0 and installing used only 2 GB of space.  Which could use the 80G of hard disk space? 

    I noticed a difference in how vSphere client reported the DTX200:

    The DL360 G5, the customer reported the storage as "local disk VMWare..." »

    The DL360 G6, the customer reported the storage as "Home HP series SCSI Disk... »

    Any idea what happened to the 80G?  Thank you.

    If I understand you correctly, there is nothing on the data store yet (i.e. no VMs)? In this case, you can try to remove the data store and recreate to see if it reports the correct size after that.

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

Try to free up more space that I deleted a few thousand pictures from iPhoto are also in the picture.

    My C drive has 5% free space. and my drive D "New Volume" 93% of free space. When I right click on drive C 'Player Extend' option is not usable. How can I increase the capacity of the C drive? I tried shrinking the D drive, thinking it would give me the ability that I could use to extend the C drive, but that did not work.

    To extend the Windows partition, free space must be nearby and located at the end of the partition, you need to develop, in this case your Windows partition. Disk management cannot shrnk forward of the partition (the partition next to your Windows partition), if you need a third party utility to boom the beginging of the partition in the Windows aprtition look, then you can extend the Windows partition.

  • Remove old unused files to get more hard disk space

    I have a Mac Pro with a 1 TB hard drive, and it is almost full with only 5 GB of space.  I put my Premiere Pro projects on an external drive, but somehow my main drive is full of coded yellow 'other' files that I suspect are Adobe Premiere.  I went into preferences and 'cleaned' media, but I'm still left without HD space.  I need to put more video projects on the computer, but as I began to do HD disk space increased to 124MB left.  My iPhoto library is 200 GB and I'd love to keep those, but where are the files that take place that 'other' list?  ('Other' is going to the Apple, by choosing about this Mac by clicking on more information and at the top of the next window, select storage).

    I have three other internal hard drives that have virtually all of the files 'yellow '.  But given that Apple does not specifically list them I don't know where are to remove them, I don't know what to delete.

    Any help here with identification unnecessary files to get the primary disk space?

    Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

    I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

    Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

    The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?
