Missing after pre-allocating to extra 40 GB hard disk space

Hello

I use Windows 7 with VMWare fusion and everything works fine except after a few days, I'm already low disk space.

What virtual machine installation automatically allocated 40 GB by default Windows C: / / hard drive. On the settings tab, under the hard drive, I moved the slider up to 80 GB and checked the "pre-allocate disk space" option before applying the settings. It took a few minutes to complete and then the extra space was absent from the partition on my mac, but when I run windows folder C: / / is still only 40 GB, and I can't find where the missing space disappeared.

Anyone know how I can develop either drive C to the 80 GB that was to be distributed on it, or otherwise restore disk space lost from my mac?

Kind regards

Jack

Hi Jack,

Welcome to the forums.

After resizing the virtual disk, you must tell Windows 7 to extend its partition. Go to the management of records within your guest and extend your C: drive with available disk space.

  • Satellite 3000-214: after CPU upgrade no screen and no HARD disk activity

    Hey all,.
    I have a 3000-214 Satellite that comes originally with a PIII-M 933 Mhz. (SL5CG)
    http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5cg.jpg

    I ordered on eBay a second hand replacement (1133 Mhz) CPU SL5CK. (same number of pins, the same processor family: RH80530)
    When I go in, the laptop starts, but there is nothing on the screen and no HARD disk activity.

    So I asked the seller if he had tested the CPU, it sent, he said no and sent me 2 CPUs of replacement, another SL5CG and a SL64Z (which does not appear on the Intel site for some strange reason, but which is of the same characteristics as the SL5CG..)
    http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5ck.jpg
    http://videoff7.free.fr/sl64z.jpg

    The two processors give the same result with nothing on the screen and no activity of the HARD drive either.
    I checked my BIOS, it is the latest version: 2.30.
    Some laptops in the series 3000 Satellite (e.g. 3000-601), are delivered with a 1133 Mhz CPU (SL5CK) and also share the same bios exactly like my 3000-214. (upgrades to the bios on Toshiba website for my 214 & 601 are the same exact links and MD5 are equal). Also the 3000-601 & 3000-214 share the same chipset: Intel 830MP.
    But for some reason, it does not.

    EC which could I missed?

    It is always possible that all 3 processors that I was sent by the seller are dead, but it would be strange at this point, I think.
    So my question is, anyone have any idea what I might try to work or have experience with the upgrade a Satellite 3000 CPU?

    My warranty is looooong Sub anyway, so if a Toshiba employee could check in the basis of how fast max CPU can be used on the Sat 3000-214, I would be very grateful.

    Thanks a bunch for any info.
    Kind regards

    Hello

    I studied a bit in the web and it seems that the Satellite 3000 has been bundled with Intel Mobile PIII 800, 850, 900, 1000 MhZ CPU

    I think that this will not work because of the speed of the CPU.
    In addition, I found this Toshiba document:
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300W5000XR01.htm

    It is said that it is not possible to replace the processor in a laptop Tosh because processors are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP tape carrier package.

  • Hard disk space missing?

    I recently moved from MacBook Pro with a 1 TB harddrive to a MacBook Pro with a 500 MB hard drive. On the old laptop, I used about 150 MB and 850 MB of free space. However, I have the new laptop, only about 140 MB of free space and not the approximate 350 MB I thought I would after transfer on 150 MB of files on my old laptop.

    Everything installs fine and I don't store anything more about the new laptop - I know - and I can't find any huge new or files. It is as if he has 200 MB of something used. Any ideas?

  • Hard disk space allocation problem

    I am running VMware Fusion on OSX and basically want to allocate 40 GB of hard drive of the virtual machine. I already did in the VMware settings on the side OSX and it is marked as such applied only confirming that I did. However, when I go back in Windows 7 and look in the folder C: / Local disk it always said that the size of the hard drive is 9,80 GB. I restarted Windows after the change until someone knows what could be the problem? Thank you.

  • Dynamic hard disk space allocation

    Hello

    Thank you very much

    Welcome to the community,

    You can configure the virtual disks to the virtual machine as thin provisioned, which allocates additional space if necessary. However, remember that thin configured disks descended not automatically if the data in the guest operating system are deleted. Make sure monitor also that you the use of the data store if you are going to fund it, i.e. to provide more disk space for virtual machines that physically available.

  • Performance of hard disk - space allocated in advance or growth?

    Hello

    I'll using virtual machines mainly for the software development and test. Disks hard comments are stored in a single file on the host for reasons of portability. What do you propose to use in which case hard drive space: more (much smaller size, would somehow worse performance) or préallouée (significantly more large size, supposed to have somewhat better performance).

    Sacrifice space hard disk of the host is worth the performance gain when using prealloue virtual disk?

    Thanks in advance.

    in thin and thick hosted platforms are terms inappropriate - ESX different works.

    Ask = growth and flat prealloue = sparse.

    If you want to learn more about the details check out my http://sanbarrow.com/vmdk-handbook.html notes

    in general I recommend

    Apartment type of content that changes a lot

    type of sparse for mainly static content

    You can't say that flat always surpasses sparse

    If the size is not serious prealloue in most cases is a good idea

    Flat discs have a major advantage: they are easier to repair and require no maintenance.

    Rare records are difficult to repair and need maintenance. So don't forget do not reduce them regularly - there more often dynamic, the content of the vmdk is

  • How to shrink a pre-allocated VM?

    There are dozens of explanations on how do to reduce VMs grow-able.

    I have a virtual machine of 173 GB Windows 7 on my iMac OSX 10.6.6 hard drive. I also have a same size Bootcamp partition. The virtual machine may have been made from the version of Bootcamp, but it was long ago, a year or two, and who remembers.

    There is certainly a way for me to "shrink" the virtual machine. Or by literally shrinking, copying to another virtual computer or a copy in a newly formed virtual machine or its importation by using software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Winclone, or some other 3rd party software.

    I would like some suggestions. Anything short of a new virtual machine and reinstall Windows (which is what I'll do if that proves to be the ONLY alternative).

    Thank you very much.

    How to shrink a pre-allocated VM?

    Hard disks VMware Fusion UI settings you can uncheck the disk space checkbox pre-allocate and then after VMware Fusion is finished to convert the disc you can use the narrowing of the VMware Tools, or you can even do as suggested by continuum, however study the following.

    If the VM in question was a partition Boot Camp that was imported by VMware Fusion then unless things have changes in VMware Fusion 3.x, the virtual hard disk created during the import is the size of the Macintosh HD, well the only software in the hard will be that of everything that was on the Boot Camp partition.  Take a look on Re: counterintuitive VMWare Instructions on resize virtual disk for additional information on the layout of the virtual hard drive in a Boot Camp Partition imported.

    Another approach would be just the Boot Camp partition real in the hard imported by itself to a new target with Symantec Ghost type hard or similar image and this is probably the way faster and easier with a stretch drive that has been reduced to a single operation.

    In addition, you can use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone or Paragon go virtual to create a new virtual machine or hard of the required type and too, this can simply be on the Boot Camp partition in the hard thus eliminating the EFI and HFS partitions + created during the import of the Boot Camp partition.

    If you clicked the Cancel button right after the import, then you u did import. If the REFO option is available, click on it.

  • HP ENVY m6-1125dx: Beats Audio In/Out-put pilot missing AFTER Factory Reset/OfficeProgram reinstalling Windows

    Hello

    So about three months ago I had a problem with my HP mouse and browser. both were glitching on screen and does not allow me to type consistently or right-click (to copy, paste, etc.). After seeking help from technology College friends, HP reps (which were not useful since my ch isn't under warranty anymore) and work friends, no one would understand it. I decided to make a setting reset according to which did not help. Then, a factory reset. Finally, it fixed my problem, yay no glitching more! So I contacted Microsoft to reinstall my Microsoft Office. After I have reset a computer and everything was in order, I hung up with them. By attempting to play a video a few moments later, I noticed that my volume is not working. I tried through the Troubleshooting Device Manager (replied 'No audio device found'), by lifting missing audio drivers via the HP Web site (found nothing) and call Microsoft to see what they could do since HP reps no help. So far, no progress is possible except that Microsoft has discovered that he is no longer an audio in/out located on my device. This is absurd! My laptop was purchased 2 years ago for around $500 with award-winning special Beats Audio Sound System. I want to come back. I was forced to resolve the previous question myself and I wa slucky enough to find a way. But now, I am presented with an audio problem I'm afraid that I can't solve in my favor.

    If someone who comes through my investigation has informed business and education with a solution to the please my problem do not hesitate to contact me with your advice and your credentials. I'm willing to try anything at this point, but of course not at the expense of my computer. Experienced responses welcome!

    I hope someone can help me. Manager Microsoft is kind enough and plans to call me again today at 15:00. But, I really don't think there is anything else on our end that we can do. It's all HP to reinstall the audio driver Beats for me once again.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I do not work for a hardware or software company. Since your machine drivers support site, available for Windows 10, only the drivers that came with your machine (for Windows 8). Driver for Windows 8 above should work as ask you 'pilot missing AFTER factoryreset/windows.
