Size of the boot disk is full

I deleted all my VMs and the startup disk is always full. Help?

This is the default size of a virtual hard disk of Windows XP and it can be changed if you want and does not directly address the host disk space however it relates it indirectly we should ensure far enough host disk space is available for what we're doing.  BTW, if this is what prompted your OP then you should have read this in the op and it would have spared you jump in a still reasonable different tangent on my part!

BTW just an info... Windows XP MCE is not officially taken in charge and in the past, others have had problems with it in the sense not all MCE components work of course YMMV.

  • Reduce the size of the virtual disk RAID 5

    I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual disk PERC H700 RAID-5. Total size of the disk is 5.5 TB. The problem is that WinServer 2003 cannot use the disk due to the MBR 2 TB limit (and I can't convert to GPT without destroy all partitions, which is what I try to avoid). Since 3.5 TB of drive space is unallocated (and reconciliations), is there a way to reduce the size of the virtual disk to remove this space which can not be used anyway? Then, I could by using the remaining capacity to create a new virtual disk that can be set up as GPT and access the space through it (or two new virtual drives 2 TB and 1.5 TB in size). I know that you can expand a virtual disk, but you can a shrink?

    No, you can develop most of the virtual drives, but you will not be able to reduce them.

    You will have to start on this subject, creating a VD less than 2 TB for boot/OS disk, then the rest can be used in an another VD.

  • How can I change the size of the virtual disk by default?

    Hello

    At work, we decided to start to allocate more disk space for new virtual machines that we create. and every time I create a new virtual machine, and I pass by the Configuration, the name and location, storage, reviews of operating system and network options. I get to create a disc of the options and the size of the virtual disk is set to 16 GB by default. and then I would need to change before the new virtual machine to a larger number. I thought to myself whence this 16 GB by default is set and is it possible for me to change this value by default for example 30 GB, so whenever I have create a VM I wouldn't need to change this to 30 GB.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this discussion.

    Best regards

    S.A

    It would be a feature "nice to have", if we could set up by default to different operating systems. However, I am not aware of a way to do it. The only thing you can do in a cluster is to create a VM template and clone the new virtual machines from the model.

  • Reduce the size of the VM disk?

    Hello

    I have a client who has an ESXi 4.0. The person who put up, set up with disc 3 x 1 TB, with 1 data store spans 3 discs, without redunancy, raid, or backup. This is my understanding of the functioning of data warehouses, that it is a bad set up.

    I want to recreate data warehouses, so there is a 1 store of data per disc, and I've only another 1 TB drive to do this, but one of the two virtual machines is defined with a size of virtual disk of 1 TB and I tried to move it to another disk of 1 TB, and it failed during the process I think because of lack of space. I was going to try to create new virtual discs and clone the readers through, but does not support the previous technology implemented servers with dynamic disks, instead of base and Acronis cloning to dynamic disks.

    So I wanted to know if there is another way to reduce the size of the virtual disk of the virtual machines, so I can recreate data warehouses. Or if anyone has any other suggestions for how can I do to recreate data warehouses without losing the servers.

    Any suggestions would be helpful and let me know if I need to provide more information, thank you!

  • Save the number of the Virtual Machine: expand the size of the virtual disk of Guest OS affect the physical disk on the host operating system files?

    People,

    Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. If something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications will not work. Thus, before expanding the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external.

    I have check the disk hard host operating system Windows 7, the path is C:\VirtualMachine\WindowsServer2003\... When I get to the top of the virtual machine on the external hard drive, simply select the 'VirtualMachine' folder and save automatically. I have 3 questions as follows:

    First of all, if something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications do not work. Can I just delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system?

    Secondly, the problem of the first question does not affect files in the physical hard disk to host operating system?

    Third, if something wrong happens during expand the size of the virtual disk of OS guest, I simply delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system and load the original 'VirtualMachine' from the external hard drive in the host operating system. Works correctly as long as one is the Virtual Machine before Stude the virtual disk size?

    Thank you.

    Yes.

    That's right, as long as you have not added and other virtual disks of different folders on the host of the virtual machine, you can probably did not.

    After developing the size of the virtual disk, you must also change the size of the partition in the guest operating system.

  • How to reduce the size of the virtual disk

    Is it possible to reduce the size of the virtual disk to a virtual machine.  If so, how?  We tried the shrink option in the VMware tools running on the virtual (Win2003) computer, but it didn't reduce the size of the unit at all.

    VMware Converter is probably the best option for fret.

  • THE "SCRATCH DISKS" IS FULL

    I can not filled any action while in photoshop because the "scratch disks" is full. I already ran in the Performance preference and allowed the program to use the 7.09 Go I have free space. What can I do else? Need help please, I'm about to throw the laptop through the windows...

    This may seem extreme, but given the current prices of the hard drive, I think that simply by adding a second drive (fast) would be the best solution and more fast. And even the least expensive considering the time invested to operate on a disk that is simply too small.

    Also note that with Windows, fill no matter which drive over 80-90%, even if it is temporary, falls seriously performance for all applications. Fill your system completely drive could still block your system completely.

    I have installed a larger hard drive, installed all my files from a backup disk and now I get the message that my disk is full.what is the cure

    What to do if everything you do when you get this message?

    It is not completely unknown for an error message give wrong information about his cause.

    What process did you use to restore the backup?

    If, for example, you backed up and restored as a full score then the restored partition can be the same size as the original, even if there is space on the disk to expand it.

  • Cannot change the size of the virtual disk in a converted VM

    Hi, I have converted many physical machines into virtual machines using the VM converter. All off them were converted using the minimum for their HDs size so that the conversion process minutes last as little as possible. Because now there are in all readers of 'C' for all virtual machines only 1 GB of free space I want to resize their virtual disks. The problem is that I can resize them to a larger size, but Windows does not allow me to expand the volume inside Windows. When I want to expand the size of the Windows volume shows me a message saying "the selected volume is a system disk or a boot disk, or it was created in an earlier version of Windows, a basic disk. It cannot be extended.

    I am attaching two files. The first is the configuration of the VM. The second is the error that appears inside of Windows. The message is in Spanish cause that Windows is in that languaje, but I have translated from English in the previous paragraph.

    Is anyone of you know why this kind of errors appear? Does perform a work around? It seems that the problem is because the converted Convert the HD as a base virtual HD. In this format (Basic) Windows does not allow to expand. You have to change its format in Dynamics to develop, but when you try this error appeard.

    The first work-around, I thought to do is to make a picture of this disc with Ghost and try to paste this image into a new hard drive for the virtual machine, but I don't know if it will work.

    Thank you.

    Warlock.

    I have had success in utility Dell ExtPart help to resize on the fly without interruption of service to initialize volumes (drives C :).  Other methods such as attaching the drive as a data volume to another server or using GParted require at least downtime of this virtual machine and often down more than one time.  With ExtPart, I was able to avoid it completely.
