• Fusion is stopped because the virtual hard disk capacity is reached

  I run Windows XP Pro in a virtual machine with the German Fusion 3.1.1 on my MacBook 13 "with Mac OS X 10.6.2.

  When I try to start Windows the VM said: "VMware Fusion has the virtual machine is stopped, because the capacity of the hard drive (40 GB) is almost reached."

  But this Windows disk management in the first partition 'Win XP Pro' 15 GB to 30 GB are free. And on the second partition 'Install' 8 GB to 10 GB are free.

  I took the snapshot on the virtual machine and have managed hard disk cleanup. But it does not help. Fusion said I do free 1.2 MB capacity of the virtual hard disk. How can I do this, when the merger does not start?

  The opportunity to make more the virtual hard disk of 40 GB to 50 or 60 GB is blocked, I first have to delete the snapshot. But the snapshot is deleted.

  What can I make Fusion work again?

  I doubt that what you quoted is the message itself, so it would be more useful if you attach the .log files.  See information for VMware Fusion to help with that.  Howevere...

  I bet that the message is more like "VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free at least MB of disk space. "and as such, you must do exactly what means the message and that is free space hard disk Macintosh not space inside the VHD.  After all, it's the Mackintosh HD stored on the Virtual Machine, isn't?

• ENVY 750-055xt CTO: hard disk capacity

  The motherboard comes with 4 ports for SATA drives.  I ordered 2-drive Raid 1.  Can I use other 2 ports for two disks?  I have a 500 watt PS

  Hi @HEMI7309!

  Yes, you can use both your motherboard SATA ports and connect two hard drives. Regarding the cables, you can check for some extra power and data cables connect the drives with.

  Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

• Can not read the HARD disk capacity properly after the upgrade on my Satellite A135-S2276

  I have a Satellite A135-S2276 and I recently updated my 80 gig HDD with a 320 GB HARD drive and drive C shows only 72 GB of available not the 300 - ish that it should have. I did some research and it seems that it should be there, perhaps simply not visible? Update the BIOS?

  Any suggetions?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think that the A135-S2276 supports SATA HDD so I doubt that the issue of the LBA48bit could be the reason.

  I found the details here on the Toshiba page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=DL&OS=&category=&MOID=1596141& rpn = PSAD6U & modelFilter = A135-S2276 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663

  In your case, I would recommend formatting the disk HARD whole again.
  In addition, you should check the size of the HARD drive in the BIOS.

  Generally, if the HARD drive has been recognised in the BIOS correctly then the OS should see all 320GB too.

• Satellite A100-192: after Vista installation HARD disk capacity has decreased

  I am a user of Satellite A100-192 with 120 GB hard drive. After I installed Vista Ultimate, I saw this total capacity of my hard drive completely passed to 92, 8 GB instead of 120 GB while it was XP.

  What can be the problem? How can I reach the other capabilities of my hard drive?

  Hello

  Vista needs and used 2 partitions. The second partition is not visible and it s necessary to Vista backup and restore functions.
  Maybe you have verified that the size of the first partition (C) and didn't note the size of the second partition.

• Z61p - Maximum HARD disk capacity

  Hello

  I had a Z61p with 100 GB HARD drive. I want to spend to 320 GB or 500 GB HARD drive. Do you know that my computer supports these capabilities or not?

  Kind regards

  Muharrem.

  Thanks for the quick response.

  I had thougt that maybe there is a limit of capacity by SATA controller.

  So that means I can connect any HARD SATA 2.5 inch drive without a problem?

• Inspiron N5050 shows the capacity of the hard disk bad

  I put a new 1 TB HDD in my Inspiron N5050 to replace the 500 GB one. I moved all my content on the new hard drive using the disk image and repair system I did of the old hard drive. Now when I go to "computer" it always shows the hard disk of 500 GB (actually 468) not the 1 TB hard drive. How to make the computer recognize the appropriate hard drive capacity? Sorry if I posted in the wrong place, I didn't know where to put this post because he could be in several places.

  I found the answer to my question on YouTube (of all places). I have now 1 operation section entirely on my hard drive (no unallocated space). I should have done a little more research before posting here, but thank you Dell community with his presence. PROBLEM SOLVED!

• Newbie question: how to extend in unallocated disk in a VM XP?

  Hi all:

  This is a newbie question, but looking for answers only left confused me...

  I have VM Fusion (v2.0.6) running on a MAC (OS X - Snow Leopard) with an XP VM. When the XP VM has been implemented, it has been implemented with 20 GB hard drive space. I used VM Ware Virtual Machine settings to increase the disk space of 50 GB. (I left the "pre-allocate disk space' and 'divide into 2 GB files' options unchecked.) I don't have any snapshots during execution/implementation.

  However, my current XP VM flashing me alerts "low disk space" - I see only about 1 GB of free 20 GB (I don't see the 40 GB listed in 'My Computer'). When I use the Services of management of disk in XP, I see a disk 0 20 GB System Partition with 30 GB of unallocated space.

  How can I extend the current Parition (System) in the space of 30 additional GB? And do I have I done this to begin with?

  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite T130-hard disk/disk-Start Up question

  Hello

  I have a T130 2 years old that I use every day for work and have known no problem at all with him until a few days ago, when I noticed that it was taking longer than usual, to power.

  I checked all of my updates were up-to-date they are as far as I am aware of the Tempro and Windows. I did an AVG scan and nothing came out of the ordinary there and I'm still more than a third of the space on my hard drive.

  Everything was going well for a few days then yesterday when I tried to turn on the laptop wouldn't turn on at all--after several tries, on what he finally came and I kept it in sleep/stand by mode until I find what is happening. I ran the Diagnostic PC tool and everything is coming as a PASS except for the hard disk which appears in case of FAILURE. My USB pen is not registered when I try to use it. That said when I checked the PC Health Monitor, it says that my HARD drive was working and that my hard drive was 'good '.

  I assume from the above that there can only be one disk hard question - what is my next step? This kind of thing is easy to repair? Am I covered for what is a matter of product and less than five years, since I bought the laptop?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is not present in the BIOS, you will need to replace the HARD drive with a new one.
  Do you know how to access the BIOS?
  Switch on and press the F2 key. Now, you should check the first page of the BIOS. Usually the CD/DVD drive and the HARD drive must be included with all the details.
  If the BIOS could not recognize the HARD drive, this means that the HARD drive is faulty.

  To my knowledge, you could use a simple 2.5 HDD.
  Here is a beautiful statement containing a few photos and film how to replace HDD on T130 series.

• If the hard disk dies this affect router/WiFi?  I know that this seems to be a strange question.

  If the internal hard drive dies this affect router/WiFi?  I know that this seems to be a strange question.  Logically, they seems to be two independent functions.  However, since I do not understand how it works...

  I plan to spend my old airport extreme (about 7 years) at an airport new Time Capsule or Airport Extreme for better wi - fi range.

  Where the internal hard disk come into your Airport Extreme or Time Capsule dying airport upgrade?

  If the disc is dead, it will be not not to be replaced. This should be done first before to other devices.

• Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

  My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

  Hello

  > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
  What's the problem?

• Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

  Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

  I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

  The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

  Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

  Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
  Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
  It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

  Hello

  > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
  I assume you are using Vista.
  The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

  On the other partition 90GB.
  Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

  Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
  The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

• Capacity of the hard disk on the Qosmio G20-139

  I recently bought the notebook of Toshiba Qosmio g20-139, announced as having an 80 GB hard drive. Check the properties of the drive C: I think capacity is 69.8 GB. And in the properties of the device, it gives the Volume 71547 MB (I presume it's 71,547 GB).

  Does anyone can ease my mind explaining to me why I have not been 'ripped off '?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure but I think this part of the HARD disk is not partitioned and it comes preinstalled Qosmioplayer. This player doesn't need all the space, but if recording on this drive is available, I presume that this registered program is also recorded on this unpartitioned part.

  ·        Did you do a clean install of Windows Vista without formatting?

  ·        How many letters pilot are there on the system, for example C:\, D:\?

  ·        The number of records your C:\ drive?

  Open C:\ drive and select all the files that are present and check what size is (of all files). Let us know the size.

  If you did a clean installation without formatting then, it may be a folder named windows.old. If you have the folder on the system, then follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

  Hello

  ·         Will there be any changes made before this problem?

  Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

  Step 2: Check the hard disk for errors.

  Follow the steps in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a risk of data loss you can take a backup of your files before you run the disk check.
