Local disk C ran out of place?

Hey everybody

I just noticed that my C drive is running out of space! 15 GB free out of 111 GB, how is that possible? I barely all installed programs, it is basically just windows, how can she take so much space?

Would it be a virus or a malicious program that is developing the space? I ran a control anti-virus + anti-maleware tile and both found nothing

How can I clean and add taken space?

at this rate I will literally run out of space all the way up to 0

any help would be appreciated!

  • Host drive ran out of place now VMDK needs to be repaired

    Last night, when the process of backup inside my VM launched the host drive ran out of space.

    This morning, the virtual machine has been closed and it won't start.

    I get an error "could not open the disk < the VMDK file name > or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.»

    Reason: the specified virtual disk must be repaired. »

    I've made room on the host drive now, but still, the virtual machine does not boo.t

    I ran vmware - vdiskmanager.exe - R on the vmdk file, but it was impossible to fix.

    I have a few questions:

    1. are there in all cases to repair the virtual machine?

    2. can I go back to the virtual machine to a previous snapshot and apply my backups to be updated?

    3. should I give up the virtual machine and start over? Not pretty, but I can do it.

    I'm under VMare Workstation 7.1.0 build 261024.

    The VM OS is Windows XP SP3

    The host is Windows Vista Business 64.

    Any help or pointers would be great.

    In the files in the folder, it seems that your VM was left in a suspended state that now may cause a problem.

    What I would say to do is:

    • Close VMware Workstation or at least the virtual machine to ensure that the files are not in use
    • Edit the vmx file and set ide0:0.fileName = XP_Pro_Test-0-cl2 - 000017.vmdk (already mentioned by Ulli)
    • Delete the following files:
      all the .lck files folders
      VMware-vmx - 904.dmp
      XP_FedComp.vmem
      XP_FedComp.VMSs
      XP_FedComp - Snapshot19.vmsn
      XP_FedComp - Snapshot19.vmem
    • Replace the file vmsd by one attached to this post

    If the virtual machine still does not start, you may need to remove the "XP_FedComp - Snapshot18.vmsn" or "XP_FedComp - Snapshot18.vmem" also. However before you do this, attach the last file vmware.log for us to see exactly what is happening.

    Ounces, that everything is working again, I suggest that you remove some of the snapshots. In VMware products, instantanes snapshots are used in a string your VM which means all THE files are in use and with the number of snapshots, you have, most likely will be much more slowly he could really.

  • Why not place the Oracle data files on local disks

    Hi, I want to ask a fundamental question.

    Almost any Oracle installation I've seen, data files have been placed on Mount points, disk etc..

    Is there a reason for this? Why no one does place for local disks oracle data files? I couldn't find the answer on the installation guide

    I ask this because I will install oracle (10g) on vmware and trying to decide whether to put data on the vmdk (virtual computer local disk) files...
    Is - this recommended? If not, why it is recommended to put data files to a disc of fixation for point/external etc..


    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    People store data files on separate disks
    (1) bettter performance
    (2) the data can be in a centralized storage
    (3) if the OS crashes always files are safe
    (4) configurable with raid options
    (5) hot Swapping
    (6) easily can add additional storage

  • New to ESXi ESXi installation USB or local disks operation best practices?

    I'm new to Vmware and run a small store, what is the best practice or best method to install the OS ESXi.  I currently have a few that I have installed on the usb stick on the server Board.  After some research it would be better to have two small drives SSD that I can raid with the operating system, then another RAID for the VM data store.  USB is a single source of failure.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Hello

    Having the internal hard drives in RAID1 for the o/s will certainly to avoid a single point of failure, as you pointed out correctly. At present the death of your USB key, your host problems quite quickly, and you will need to get a new one and re-install again. You could save your good host configuration and realistically - it does take too long to rebuild a crowd if he dies. Lose other stuff like network configurations and others would however be a pain!

    I think I have two SSD internal drives in RAID1 for the o/s is probably overkill. You will have an advantage any speed of startup, but realistically most of the servers restart everything often and once that ESXi is in place and operational it is very little activity on the disks, a config updates every so often and so on. I'd be inclined to use a SSD to create a Cache of the host for the swap drive, like that you can actually use the SSD and get more performance for your money.

    Many manufacturers (like Dell) use internal SD cards in RAID1. While SD cards are not known to be very robust, because of the congestion of ESXi and the minimum number of necessary paperwork once installed initially, it makes a less expensive alternative to business class for the o/s disks.

    In regards to your data warehouses, having an internal RAID your local disks is best if you use a stand-alone host with no storage attached to the network. You always have the problem of failure of the host if.

  • ENVY of HP TouchSmart laptop 15: local disk D is not accessible

    My notebook Nr is: E1P04AV

    MODEL: 15 t - j100 ABA
    Rev: 1962-110
    CCDI: 0982110000405E00000320000

    I get this message when I access to 'My PC' and click on Local drive D: "local disk D is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable. »

    This local disk D is partitioned with local disk C. The two units are on SSHD, 1 TB, Seagate asa series drive.

    A 24GO SSHD is also installed with 1 TB HARD drive, but the SSHD is not visible in WIN10 in 'My PC' (or, indeed, it is this local disk D?).

    During each reboot, a message appears: "fix local disk D." But the local disk D does not seek redress.

    I just finished installing WIN10 and spent the day to reinstall all printers, scanners and software (with hindsight, I shudda treated first with this corrupted local disk).

    I'm going to local disk likely damage C which has the OS WIN10 on him (I guess), if I reformat local drive D? I would like to reformat ALCO D drive while in WIN10 (not in dos prompt mode).

    FOR INFO:

    My fingerprint reader has not worked in the month. It stopped working after I installed the update of the driver.

    Until I loaded WIN10, I tried to restore my inoperative SimplePass fingerprint reader by loading the newer driver for that I downloaded updates from the HP driver.

    Immediately after the installation of the driver SimplePass my laptop crashed with the BSOD on reboot.

    Each diagnostic single HP I ran in Mode BIOS says all readers and all components, everything going ON.

    What is happening with SimplePass driver software?

    I called Softex but no direct technical Support was available. I left a message, no one returned my call.

    I took the chance and selected the option "Format". The 'quick format' restored the local drive D.

    Hello MRuggles,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you have a problem with that!  I found some information with different troubleshooting steps.  I have listed below a few out that included the link below.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    You receive the error "your computer is running out of memory" message when you start Flight Simulator:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/892610

    When you start Microsoft Flight Simulator, you receive the following error message:

    Your computer is running out of available memory. Flight Simulator will now exit. You can't have enough free space on your hard drive. Run Disk Cleanup to free up space, and then try to run Flight Simulator.

    Method 1: Space available hard drive

    1. Click Startand then click my computer.
    2. Right click on the hard disk where Flight Simulator is installed, and then click Properties.

      Note Flight Simulator is usually installed on the C drive.

    3. Make sure that the amount of free space is more than 500 megabytes (MB).

    Note the 500 MB space available disc is required to play Flight Simulator. 1 gigabyte (GB) of available disk space is recommended. If you do not have at least 500 MB of available hard disk space, you must delete or remove some files or programs on the hard disk.

  • Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

    I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

  • Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

    Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

    That is right.

    First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

    I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

    The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

    Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

    If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

    Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

    A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

    You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive D, type:

    fsutil dirty query D:

    The sample output:
    Volume D: is dirty
    Volume D: is not dirty

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

    When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001

    The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

    Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

    Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

    If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

    If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

    If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

    I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.

  • How do I move the UCS with OS blade on the local disks between chassis

    Hello

    I have to move the blade between chassis - blade have OS installed on local disks and Associates profile.

    I can simply:

    Shutdown

    Enter the maintenance

    remove the chassis

    Exchange with other blades of the second chassis

    power on

    Blade are properly recognised and profile will go with it?

    I found Advisor here it is best to unassign blade profile and partner back after removal:

    https://supportforums.Cisco.com/discussion/11230671/physically-move-Blad...

    but it seems too complex for me - if someone who tired of this exercise can share some experiences?

    See you soon

    Hello

    Assuming the frame belong to the same domain (even pair of fabric for interconnection) and you are using ESXi, try the following:

    1 - Enter the host in maintenance mode (it can be move virtual machines to another server/power them off / take them into so maintenance mode)

    2. cut the blade

    3. ensure that the Service profile does not have a disc of scrub policy so that data is not deleted when the profile Service (SP) is ungrouped

    4 separate the SP

    5 decommissioning of the blade

    6 - Remove the blade and insert the new blade

    7. move the second chassis original blade

    8 - though the blade and an associate of the same/original SP

    9 powers on the blade

    10. take the server out of maintenance mode. as well as virtual machines

    Note: For the blade inserted in the drive, that we released our blade, you can create a new SP and pair with it or you can actually have any MS (including that attributed to the recently released blade) and assign it to the new blade.

    A single SP by sever and that one server per SP.

    SPs are independent from the hardware (as long as the material is compatible with the functions set up by the PS)

    Let me know if this info has helped, if not let me know and I wil expand or try to make your job easier.
