Shrinkage on guest running on the SSD drive

Hi, I have 20 GB of unused free space arouns in my commenting system (win 7). The partition has already been reduced. I want to reduce the virtual machine to free up on the host computer.

The virtual machine is running on a SOLID-STATE drive on the host. I tried to use the "compact" host method, but he gave me approximately 1 GB. I read that "zero-ing" or defragmentation should be done before shrinking/compacting.

On a SSD if defragmentation is not recommended.

What can I do to recover the 20 GB?

My second problem is: I see the VMWare tools on the status bar icon in the comments, but can't seem to find a way to open/use it. It VMWare tools 9.2.3.

The service is running...

Thank you

Another option is to use sdelete to zero the unused disk space. After doing this compaction of the VM must reduce the size as expected.

  • Tecra S4 does not detect the SSD drive

    Hello together,

    I try to install a Samsung SSD 840 Pro to install in my Tecra S4. But when I try to install Windows 7, there is no detected SSD.

    What can I do that Windows detects the SSD drive?

    With greetings

    Hello

    You must add the SATA/RAID driver.
    Download from here:
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/RAID-drv-20070719134547.zip

    Now, go to the BIOS and on the 3rd page of the BIOS, you can change the RAID settings to * 1RAID-0. *.
    Eventually, you will need to enter the password 1234 + and then press on + ENTER +.
    Now boot from the Windows 7 installation disc.
    Select "Custom Installation.
    Connect the USB where the RAID driver files

    Regarding the selection of the target (SSD drive isn't visible yet) disk, select "Load Driver" and navigate to the USB key, where is the folder with the drivers. Setup for Win 7 now allows you to select a memory stick USB attached.

    Confirm and after that we should include a list of available devices (SOLID-STATE drive)

  • Satellite R630 - 11L - sometimes did not recognize the SSD drive

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite R630 - 11L and I just bought a Corsair F120 SSD for her, but my laptop a few times did not recognize the SSD drive and fails to start occurs. I searched on the Internet concerning the issue, but there are any topic related to my problem. in recent days, I have updated my bios but the problem remains. for example if I put the computer to sleep and he never wake ups as it should be. the blue windows screen 7 failure comes and an error message 'could not access the windows volume. If portable succesful started without problem occurs until I reeboot the computer. so most of the time I have to restart computer about 5 - 6 times to work normal. At the same time, I opened a topic on the corsair website. They told me to test my drive on another computer, so I test it on laptops, dell and hp to my friends, but there is no any problem don't like this.

    So I test my ssd on an another toshiba laptop R630 which has a different hardware configurations, the problem remains that laptop too...

    So I think toshiba may provide a bios update to fix this problem. This laptop really great, so I don't want to buy another.

    y at - it advice to solve this problem?

    concerning

    Hi machka,.

    > I think that here is the toshiba support forum. is not here?
    Here he s a Toshiba forum, that of right, but you can only chat with normal users like you and me. You will not find someone from Toshiba here.
    The forum is provided Toshiba but for Toshiba users to exchange experience on different products.

    So I think that the Quad is just. No one can say that every SSD is compatible with all computers. You need to understand this!
    There are hundreds of different players and computers on the market and I m sure that no one can test a new computer with all SSD on the market. This is not possible, because it takes a lot of time and more expensive laptops that I think.

    So if the SSD doesn't work, there is nothing that you can wait for the BIOS update.
    Otherwise, you must purchase another SSD. Alternatively, you can ask a service provider allowed in your country, maybe that technicians have already experience with some SSD in Satellite R630. Just ask for that, they are the first contact for you! :)

  • Portege R830 - 111 BIOS can not find the SSD drive

    Hello
    Four days ago, I bought R830-111 [PT320E-00X00XPL] and a - DATA S599 2.5 "SATA II Solid State Drive 128 GB to replace the standard HARD disk drive. Unfortunately, the new SSD drive does not work with this laptop.

    Several times, after several reboots disc was visible in the BIOS.
    But there is not the possibility of a normal use of the SSD.
    I have day laptop BIOS [BIOS360_EC140_WIN] and SSD drive. That did not help.

    Can someone help and tell me how to work this SSD ADATA and Portege?

    Best regards

    Have you checked if the SSD drive needs a firmware update?
    In some cases, this is necessary, but in the worst cases, the SSD drive might not be compatible and this means that you need to test another :(

  • not enough options for the SSD drives?

    I intend to buy a desktop XPS 8700 special edition. I am disappointed that it doesn't give options for this model - for hard drives, only "2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s + 256 GB SSD"-which is obviously a good combination, but for me, I think that a smaller SSD drive would be nice. "" Otherwise, I like the rest of the system. A friend who built his own PC says it has installed an SSD of 128 G and it is sufficiently large with Win8, MS Office, Photoshop and other large programs installed.

    So it of just a comment, is not a problem, but I hope that Dell would offer more options, including a drive to 3 or 4. A Dell technician suggested going to road work stations - but when I looked there, I was a little confused on the readers - workstations all seem to have several readers, probably for Raid configurations, which is something over my head and on my needs.

    Or is it a good idea to have a lot of free space on the SSD drive?

    Hi Hellogoodby,

    Thanks for your comments. It isn't that much of a difference in cost between the 128 GB and 256 GB SSD. Dell is probably buying in bulk from the right and customer demand now, most people want 256 GB or more. You are absolutely right that 128 GB is plenty for the OS and applications. I have a 250 GB Samsung Evo and have used less than 50 GB for the operating system, office and all my other apps.

  • The SSD drives on local ESXi hosts dilemma...

    My company went ahead and installed the SSD drives locally in each HP Server, so this basically means I can't my hosts in cluster and enjoy the HA\DRS... in my view, correct environment vMotion?  I found a few links referring to this scenario, but it was not clear if the failover will work if one of my hosts breaks down?

    I use them and set the swap file to be stored on the local host.  This save space you on your back-end SAN and reduced some IO.

    If using local storage is important for your VDI sale, I would take a peek at Nutanix, which is a host ESX SAN in a (basically they use local storage and make it work like a San that rocks.)

    I would hold these SSD at the moment, I do not know how CBRC will apply once VMware he applies fully.  If it works anything like Citrix Intellicache, then you could end by using these SSD as the volumes of local cache.  For now though I would not try and design their use.

    Hey Buddy,

    All disks are placed on the underside. This means that SSD and HDD can be exchanged if return you the laptop and remove the cover from the SSD/HDD which is fixed by two screws. If you remove these screws, you can exchange the SSD.

    All SSD 2.5 are compatible. The laptop supports the SATA interface so there is no capacity limit and you can buy each SSD. Also there is no certain brand you have to buy because everything will work.
    As far as I know OCZ and G.Skill make good SSD.  :)

  • computer laptop Pavilion G6-1d71nr is supports the SSD drive?

    I have a Pavilion G6(g6-1d71nr) laptop.  Currently, it has factory-installed memory of HD and 8 GB to 500 GB.  The laptop had run sluggish lately, that I won't be able to increase the memory that it tops out at 8 GB per user manual.  I wonder

    If the laptop supports solid state drive (or even hybrid), I couldn't find in the user manual that the SSD is supported.  If this is not the case, he will support a hybrid?

    Thank you!

  • Executable file runs on the C drive, but reports broken during the launch of a mapped network drive

    I have a built executable.  If I take the entire exe build directory and copy it to disk target C, it works like a champ, but if I copy all the folder on a mapped network drive, I get the error message next to the runtime:

    It seems not categorical, but I get no useful information. The program was built in LV2009 and 2009SP1 with the same result.
    Ideas?

    .NET is a security protocol that will allow you to run .NET applications (or applications that use .NET assemblies) to a network drive. This is normal.

    You can configure permissions for .NET assemblies allow .NET to run from a network drive, but I never had much luck with this work in fact. (Just Google for it).

    I rebooted my system yesterday and discovered that it had been done in the backup drive D which has only 1 g backup space. I can't do another reboot because there is no space in the drive.

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

    Delete older backups and free up space on the D drive.

    To remove old backup files, under the backup of data files, click View backups.

    You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.

  • Install Windows 8 on the SSD drive?

    Bought a T7910 precision renovated with two 4 TB hard disks and a 512 GB SSD. For some reason, the computer has been configured with the operating system on one of the hard drives. I want to install my OS and apps on the SSD, but the installation CD Windows 8.1 won't let me. It says I need something or other instead of the MBR something or other who has detected an EFI.

    So, what is needed to do a clean install of the operating system Windows 8.1 on my SSD?

    ONLY if you install 8.1 Windows 64-bit:

    Remove the HARD drive. Starting installation of F2 and verify the boot mode - is UEFI or legacy? When you have installed, there were all the existing partitions? If so, remove them.

    It would also be useful to know the EXACT messages you get.
