Increase in the Allocation of disk space for the guest system

I use v.6.5.2 from workstation.  I have a lot of excess space on the hard disk of the host system, but with hindsight I initially did not award a sufficient amount of space for the guest system. Is there a quick (and painless!) way in which I can assign storage drive increased the operating system invited without workstation removal and re-Assembly of?

If you are just looking for elements run back, I wouldn't have selected Vista for guest OS... Probably be much better to use XP Pro (SP2) than any version of Vista... On the one hand, XP uses much less space on the disk and other... You can run XP Pro (easily) on a vDisk 16-20GB... IF you're dead set on running VIsta, then get the Business edition and who perform. I would never use any of the editions home for any professional use. Windows 7 is much better than Vista (Windows 7 is commonly called "Vista done right" within the it community). I'm actually using Windows 7 Professional x 64 on two of my systems. I have a XP Pro VM on my system main for when I need either the software which is only able to turn it on, or when I need to test something. Otherwise, I stick with Win7 these days.

Vista Home (Basic or Premium) are not exactly the wisest choice for operating systems... Especially if you work on this system...

  • I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d

    I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d. I 26 gig on the d drive and only using less than 1% of it, and I have the same amount on c, but only 39% c left. How to do this.

    LEM explained the problems that you tried to resize partitions on the same drive.

    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.

    You can generate more space in the system (usually C) the folder move partition.

    For temporary Internet files, select Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, temporary Internet files. Settings and move back.

    How to change the default location of the My Documents folder: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310147

    You may also change the default locations of the files in Microsoft Office programs when you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word, go to tools, Options, file locations, highlight the Documents, click on edit and change the path. For Excel, go to tools, Options, general, and change the default path.

    My Documents is one of the many the created system of special folders, which include my pictures, and my music. It can be more easily modified using TweakUi. Download TweakUI, one of MS powertoys, here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

    In TweakUi, select workstation, special folders. You can scroll down to see the full list of special folders to the left of the button to change the location.

    You can move programs, but to do this, you must uninstall and reinstall the program. With Word and Excel, the existing data files are not affected by reinstalling. Most of the work in question is going to be reinstall all updates issued after those that are included with the original Microsoft CD / DVD.

    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.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

  • How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs

    Hello

    I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:

    "In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."

    My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?

    Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

  • Media Center is Reporting insufficient disk space for each record programmed

    Since the upgrade to Windows 8 Media Center reports that there is not enough disk space for each scheduled TV recording despite there are currently more than 1 TB of free space. The programs record very well, but it is impossible to tell when it is a genuine issue (for example, a program conflict) as an indicator of each scheduled recording is also problematic.

    There is a simple solution to this in Media Center as an administrator (which implies that there may be a problem of permissions with Windows 8). However, I also use an XBox 360 as an Extender and there is no known method to apply this workaround to an Extender then it continues to be a lack of disk space for each unique record.

    I tried completely removing the recorded TV folder, followed by a reboot to allow Media Center services recreate the folder, but it does not solve the problem. I checked all the settings and Media Center reports that it has enough free space to save more than 400 hours of television, but he's still complaining lack of disk space for each individual scheduled recording.

    Any ideas?

    I found a solution that worked for me on another thread.

    See the post from Steve Scoltock on executing a recovery job in the computer management application, here:

  • How to free up disk space for the database file

    Hi experts BDB.

    I use bdb4.6.21 transaction Btree access method, found that after vacuum db db-> truncate, the size of the db file has changed. How to free up disk file db space? It can be configured?

    Thank you

    Min

    Hi Min,

    What Mike says is that you do not expect that the empty space after an operation of truncation (for example a delete or update that empties a page) in the database (empty pages) to return to the file system and therefore to see the physical file size decreases.

    The next section of the documentation explaining this: required disk space

    Space released by removing the key/data pairs in a Btree database or Hash is never returned in the file system, even if it is reused when possible. This means that the databases Btree and hash are to develop alone. If enough key is deleted from a database which shrinks the underlying file is desirable, use the DB-> compact() method to recover disk space. Alternatively, you can create a new database and copy the folders of the former into it.


    So, as Mike suggested, you can dump and reload the data into a new database, or copy data from the existing/old database to a new (to remove the old database and rename a new one the old name), or you can try to compact the database using the method compact().

    If you use compact(), then in order to force the return of empty for the file system pages when possible, use the DB_FREE_SPACE flag and try to avoid using an explicit transaction (use a NULL tnxid pointer, so this BDB will use internally of several transactions that will be engaged periodically to avoid locking large sections of the tree).

    When you use the compaction in order to free up space and return pages from database empty in the file system that it is generally recommended to repeat Compact with a value low 'compact_fillpercent '.  In addition, the following output statistics fields in the structure DB_COMPACT, compact_pages_truncated and compact_pages_free should be examined to determine if there is a point, continuing to run the compaction with the same compact_fillpercent.  If the values are strict positive it is then compact() calling again with the same compact_fillpercent (and specify the DB_FREE_SPACE flag).  The compact algorithm allows a single pass on the pages of the database;  pages so not empty at the end of the file will prevent the free pages (which are placed on the free list) to be returned to the file system.

  • Add more disk space for the ESX host

    Hi all

    I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts.  I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host.  Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that?  I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space.  Could someone just point me in the right direction?  Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters.  It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.

    Thank you

    Jonathan

    You are on the right track.  Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis.  Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add.  Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

  • VM pre-allocated low disk space

    Hello

    I run 3 VM (VMware Workstation), each has its own hard drive. When I installed these machines I have previously assigned space on the assumption (false!) that the virtual machine would not grow. I'm now so low space than a machine cannot start, and as much as I know I can't shrink a pre-allocated VM?

    First of all, could someone tell me what increses in fact the size of the file and as a percentage of the available disk space how much I have to leave in the future of the room?

    Secondly, how can I get out of this situation? As a temporary measure, I could copy the virtual machine to a drive with more space, but I need to get it back on the original disc later, is it possible to resize a pre-allocated machine?

    I think that, in the light of the foregoing, you can guess that I am a user not a computer scientist.

    Thanks for your help... Marcus

    the command, we suggest you will create a clone of the current state.
    The size of the resulting vmdk would be slightly larger than the netto-data on the original disc.

    So if the Explorer inside the guest who would claim the 270 130 GB Gb serve the vmdk resulting could be as small as 140 GB.
    The exact size of the vmdk resulting isn't exactly predictable, but it is maybe much smaller than the original vmdk.

    The performance problem with the instant results from the mere fact that VMware should then read several files.
    It goes like this...

    GuestOS wants to read sector 100.00 on the disk = the first VMware audits if 100,000 area is inside the snapshot 2.
    If there is good - VMware check if this sector is inside snapshot1. If so very well - if not - VMware must also read the basedisk to find 100,000 sector

    This means that playback has several steps more than if you would use a vmdk préallouée without clichés.

    I generally recommend to use type growth basedisks if you know you want to make heavy use of snapshots

  • Question: How can I change disk space for partitioned disks?

    I'm having a problem using top too much disk space on my (vista) C drive on my satellite L500, now that I've filled with iTunes music files. I want to use a part of the E drive to 'Add' on the C drive space. Is this possible?

    Also, could I just use the E-drive to add anyway, if I told iTunes to look for a few songs and C E for others? E has special properties like the recovery partition that can complicate things?

    Thanks if anyone can help!

    Paul

    Hello

    1 delete all the files and unnecessary programs from the disk: C to the freed space.
    2. move all the movies, photos, music on the disk E;
    3. If you use the Download Manager to download files, you can change the path where to save the downloaded files in your local case: E

    You can change the size of the partition in administrative tools in Control Panel. However, I prefer to use a partition manager paragon to resize partitions on my computers. Before add/create partitions, make sure that you have made a recovery disk.

  • How much disk space for RT OS

    Hi all

    RT OS (office) has a problem: If the disk is full RT OS does not start.

    So I have to limit the volume of output of my RT application file to a reasonable value.

    To do that I read the free space on the disk with the start of my application (via GetFreeDiskSpaceEx), so that I can enshure this MY apllication will not write more data than the amount of available space (for example by removing old data).

    But I don't know how much space the operating system disk will need during the race.

    Can someone tell me a value to calculate with?

    Thanks in advance!

    Yeti0815

    A general rule is that the OS needs about 25 MB of storage for temporary files, .ini, similar persistent storage files.  Don't suck your consumption below 25 MB and you should be able to minimize your surprises.

    NOTE: This figure was obtained empirically by not-so-very rigorous tests.  Your mileage may vary.

  • Allocation of disk space to virtual machines

    I played around with assigning physical disk space to a virtual machine, in the "Add Hardware Wizard", I selected hard drive & gt; Create a new virtual disk & gt; He gave a size of 100 GB stored with the virtual machine and not independent.

    When I started the VM space, which is all that I wanted to check if I stop the virtual machine. Rather than remove the new hard drive 2 settings of the virtual machine, I have restored a previous snapshot without the new HD. Now when I check the free space on datastore1, it seems that the 100 GB does not have to be added to the free space.

    I did something wrong?

    UPDATE:

    I just tried the process again but this time assigned 8 GB.  Then I checked free space on datastore1, and now I have the 100 GB back, less the 8 GB I just posted.  Any ideas?

    If you take out it just of the virtual machine, it does not actually remove the virtual disk that you created. As you say, there are 2 options when you remove the drive, we need to remove the virtual machine, and we need to remove the disc. If you remove the disk from the virtual machine, it will always keep the file even if it is not associated with a virtual machine. There is no question to delete this file. Just make sure that you delete the correct VMDK. It's easy, if it's the only drive of 100 GB or 8 GB, you have created.

  • Disk space HARD disappeared after system restore

    A day ago, I decided to free up space on the C: drive of my computer. By the time my drive was 10.4 GB of space. I deleted some old games and files, releasing much of the space and defragged my system gives me a total of 29.5 GB of space.

    Shortly after, I was forced to do a restore of the system on my computer to correct an error. To recheck my space on the drive, he came to 10.4 GB. Deleted programs have not returned and after a thorough check of the system.  I tried several other forums as to find an explanation for the missing space, but most of the answers in the forums does not solve the problem at all.

    What happened to the 19GB of space freed after deleting these files and old games?

    Hello

    Since you did a system restore, fragments of programs that have been installed on the system earlier were able to return. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Step 1:

    Run Disk Cleanup on the system. See the article mentioned below.

    Description of the tool in Windows XP disk cleanup

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310312

    Step 2:

    I suggest you to do a Disk Defragmenter. See the article mentioned below.

    Should I move the virtual machines from the first RAID at one of the others? Whipe then come out the scores and perform ESXi 4.1 installation?

    Yes, it's a way to do this.

    Unfortunately, the ESXi 4.1 installation wipe the disk to complete installation (or logical volume) as you have experienced. Assuming that "logical partitions VMFS" you mentioned are logical volumes actually created in the RAID configuration (presented as individual of the operating system disks), you can migrate the virtual machine that is currently stored on data store of the installation disk to a data store on one of the other logical disks and then install ESXi.
