Shrivelled partition shows always the same size

The host comments Win7 Pro 3.0 on SL 10.6.2 merging.

I created the hard disk from VMware to address initial as 40 GB prealloue. After you run a week, I decided it was a mistake - it was much too large (16 GB is more than enough). I stop the machine virtual, unchecked the box pre-allocated on the hard drive settings, applied, restarted the VM, run VMWare Tools, choose "Shrink Partition", and it did. The hard physical file is now 10.5 GB instead of the previous 40 GB. So far so good.

However, VMWare settings does not know it is narrowed, i.e. hard disk settings still shows 40 GB and it won't let not the slider be moved immediately to the left. Go in the Win7 Disk Manager, he does not know he is shrunk, either, that is, it always shows 40 GB. I said DM to shrink the partition (it showed 28 GB free), but he told me that he could reduce only 8 GB. I went ahead and did it, and now DM shows three partitions: the system reserved 100 MB, the partition of 32 GB used and now an unallocated 8 GB one.

How to do everything (VMWare settings, Win7 DM, etc.) to agree on the size, where size is the actual size, for example 10.5 GB? Or, Alternatively, who all agree on 16 GB (and increase the size of the physical hard to 16 GB) are very good, too.

I googled here and on the web in general and the half-dozen documents I've found so far, all the steps above, but few things related to shrink. Let me know if I missed a.

Thanks for your help.

Without using the pré-alloué, you will get never all disk numbers to "agree" unless your drive is 100% of its capacity.  There are at least three numbers to deal with and understand.  Virtual disk capacity: 40 GB (thinking that it is the actual size of the disk), the size of the logical file system partition: usually matches virtual disk (-less overhead), for example 39 GB and allocated space: 10.5 GB (how much space you actually used).  On the latter, Fusion do not show you this value in the user interface.

As you have seen, you can reduce some putting file systems so a "cap" on the upper limit of size the vmdk virtual will get on the host.  Unallocated space shouldn't be relative, he is just reflecting a gap that is never used.   Think that the capacity of your virtual disk as a credit limit, but you say that I will never ever having a balance of more than $ 500.  It doesn't matter if the limit is triggered or doubled, etc..  You set your own limits, for example the capacity of your virtual disk could be 40, 60, 100 GB, but you already have size your file system to never consume more than 20 GB.  The positive thing is that if you need to grow, all you do is resize the file system, of course if you need more than the current virtual disk capacity, you also up to the size of the virtual disk with the cursor.   Unallocated space in a dynamically allocated file is practically free.

If you are still not happy having so virtual drive potentialcapacity, you can rebuild the virtual disk to a smaller capacity.  There is no tool to resize the ability down into place.  There were to be (ESX) options but it is dangerous enough for most users, for example if you do not reduce the first file system you can lose data.  It is therefore preferable to force users to migrate their data to a new disk, or with a disk cloning tools like Ghost or Clonezilla (free) Converter from VMware, which allows to reconstruct a new machine of the former.

  • pdf creation of the SAME SIZE of two pdf files

    I'm probably not follow instructions very well, and I'm not finding an explanation in the documentation so I hope someone can help me here.

    I have two pdf files. one is a cover of a magazine page, and the other is a page within the magazine where my work is mentioned. I want to combine these two PDF in a SINGLE pdf, but in a way that both the pdf is the same size. I feel like I am missing a setting somewhere for it as whenever I do this inside page is printed on the pdf document to half the size of the cover page.

    I tried to save out in png and making sure they are the same size and resolution, but it prints (except Preview) with white around the borders.

    I tried recording outside in optimized PDF and affecting the sizes 8 x 11 and 72 dpi but this then prints out Acrobat as a very pixelated in the document that are not readable.

    can someone help me with a step by step on how this can be done? It seems that I should just be able to open two random pdf files in the menu CREATE and then tell Acrobat to print to a specified size (this would be easy!), but I must be missing something.

    TIA

    Hotwheels 222,

    It might help to think that PDF is a container that can have many things such as texts, photos, graphics, vector elements, etc. all wrapped up in it.

    Normally, the content is created in another application such as InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word or many other applications. In the application you create a blank document and add or place images, type text in any font you want to place or create some elements of vector (if the application has actually vector tools)and even other multimedia such as audio and video as long as the application supports,

    Photos can all have a different resolution, vector elements have no resolution (I'll explain), the text can be in many different fonts, and they all keep their distinct characteristics within the PDF file.

    A PDF file created from an application like Photoshop will be just a resolution, because the PS is a pixel in the image editor and a PS document can have only one resolution.

    .. .the idea that two adobe products cannot communicate Acrobat to photoshop in terms of a resolution of pdf in photoshop seems very awkward... Once again, as a PDF file may have a lot of pictures with different resolutions, even if the PS could get this info (which may not) what PS resolution would decide to use? PS sheets it is up to the user to decide based on what they want their final production can be.

    You mention a document you have this "seems no inserted images" and "it appears as if there is an image"?

    The pdf of the cover are you referring?  The PDF producer is "Adobe Acrobat Image Conversion plug-in 10.0" is a tip out of 'Test Name screen' and thought it came from Photoshop.

    While possible, this document was created entirely in Photoshop, it is also likely that it was created in another application such as InDesign, exported from here in PDF and then PDF etc. was opened in Photoshop that rasterizes the content and flattened into an image file with the resolution you have chosen when opening in PS and then saved as just an image in PDF format. The graphic designer who created this probably did this because they did not want to give you a print quality PDF that you can try to extract the elements of.

    You mentioned that you thought that the doc was in Adobe Illustrator (AI) HAVE is primarily a tool for creating vector allowing also to the pixel for inclusion based raster images (with a resolution of specific pixels) to be included in a document of AI if wanted.  Strictly speaking, vector objects do not have a resolution. They are based on mathematics,

    He said essentially, put a point to such & such X, coordinated, now, put an another punch to another X, Y coordinates, it takes account of the arc or angle between the two points and said to draw a straight line, or draw a curved line, etc. Since it is only the mathematical instructions. This can be as large as you want and the relationship between the 2 points and the arc of the curve or line will dictate how the extended line or curve will be redrawn enlarged.

    Vectors are 'independent of the resolution' you can draw a vector logo to 1 x 1 inches and enlarge it to 50 x 50 inches or even as important as a home and it will always print crisp and clean. Notice, that this applies only to vector content in your document; pixel content is blocked in the resolution, it was created in the.

    To inspect the elements in a PDF document using the object Inspector in Acrobat Pro. Since a PDF file can contain several different objects, you have to click exactly on each object to get information about the selected object. So if you had 10 photos in your PDF you must select each in turn and he would give you the size in pixels, resolution, color space and profile, etc if you have clicked on the text, it will identify the police. It is well named, an Inspector of the object rather than a Document Inspector. Try it yourself with the different PDF files that you may encounter. If for example, it gives you the exact same info (resolution, pixel dimensions etc.) bit matter when you click, then you're probably dealing with a simple image. If you get the dimension in different pixels, resolutions when you click in different areas, you're dealing with a PDF file that had separated the distinct elements.

    I don't see why I shouldn't be able to get a document that is located at 17.7 x 22.9 to 72 dpi up to one that is 8 x 11 at 300 ppi.

    In Photoshop, go to the Image, the Image Size menu. This will show the dimensions in pixels (width & height) at the top. If you don't interpolate (resample) Photoshop can only put the same number of pixels in different size documents. When you press it same number of pixels in a smaller resolution doc increases. When you place the same number of pixels in a larger doc and the resolution fails.

    Don't forget, that the resolution is PPI (Pixels Per Inch). If you do the math it starts to make sense.

    Below notes that each dialog box features the same EXACT pixel dimensions.

    In the first box, it shows the 1275 x 1650 pixels in a document of 17.708 22.917 x inches. This gives a resolution of 72 DPI.

    In the second box, I changed the size of the document to 8.5 x 11 inches and pixels of 1275 x 1650 even now increase the resolution to 150 DPI.

    In the third box, I changed the resolution to 300 DPI and the pixels of 1275 x 1650 even now decrease the size of the document to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

        

    If you check the resampling, Photoshop will interpolate (resample) image to throw the pixels, or adding pixels, but there is no magic involved and the results are never as good as we could hope.

  • Several return on investment of the same size

    Hi everyone again. I have questions about the plan KING

    1. they say that you can make several KING by clicking the ctrl button and it works. You can make several KING out of it.

    Question: a. how you can extract one of each KING?

    b. are extracts KING represented by a table of coordinates or coordinates cluster?

    c. is there a such that any part VI of the KING will have the same size and resolution) without resizing the return on investment)?

    d. can you get a return on investment and use the size of this KING as the size of the next KING?

    example: I did a 10 x 10 pixel KING in the first sample, the next King, a box of 10 x 10 will come out just so all I have to do is to move the box to the desired region.

    PS maybe the same problem is already posted so I hope you can post the link of the subject then it is easy for me to find once again.

    Thanks again for all the help I receive.

    Hello Brein,

    1. Yes, the Kings are stored in the form of clusters, and you can extract all the information from KING using the description of KING.

    2. you can save description of RIO in the cluster, then reuse them in your program. Here is a link to an example of use of the event structure to display pre-determined KING.

    Error 1203 is an very interesting cartridge error. This means that your overflow of cartridges of nine cartridges after a several prints or right after you filled cartridges. Check to see if the ink are smeared on the holder where the contact panel with the cartridge

    Solution:
    I use the Lint (excellent work of coffee filter) with a few drops of water to moisten and cleanse back them on my printer work and support.
    Then before you print anything, you should run aligned the cartridges once or twice then run clean cartridges a couple of times.
