Stuck computer management on the volume of queries for available shrink space, please wait.

• "Querying volume for available shrink space" does not

  I tried to create an empty partition on my 500 GB drive C (which I still have more than 350 GB free) to be able to dual boot another OS next to my already installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, but I encountered a problem from the beginning. While trying to shrink the space on drive C for the partition, the computer management hangs on 'Volume mark for available shrink space' for about a minute, and then said computer management "not responding". I have retried several times, and I still have the same result. I tried running "sfc/scannow" as administrator CMD, but there is no problems found. Afterwards, I checked errors on drive C, but the result is always the same. I don't know how to go further with this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  Here are a few options:

  • Use a third-party disk manager, or a commercial (e.g. Acronis DiskDirector) or one that is free.
  • Use diskpart.exe in a command prompt if you are comfortable to work at this level. It might give you a more explicit feedback. Here is what you would see:

  d:\>Diskpart

  Where should I go on my computer to find the pie chart that shows how much space is used/left on my computer... (my question is not related to the questions at the beginning).

  Open my computer, right-click the drive icon, select 'Properties' and you'll see the pie under the general tab.

  So you are saying I need to download the latest version of ESX/vSphere and then extract the VM Tools of which rpm?

  It might be a way to get them, if you are unable to install the product.

  The version will say vSphere 4.0 be OK for ESXi 3.5 VMs?

  Yes

• T320: How to get rid of the volumes of driver for OS deployment?

  I just used the lifecycle controller on my new PowerEdge T320 to install Windows Server R2 2012. Now there are two removable disks that I can't get rid of: MAS022 and OEMDRV. I can eject them but they are back after a reboot. Someone knows how to hide? Is there a procedure of realization that I did?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Disk management has limited options to manipulate partitions. You can use diskpart to show, hide, delete, assign/cancel the drive letters, or perform almost any what other action possible in partitions.

  MAS022 is the virtual USB device to iDRAC. IDRAC restart should unplug it.

  Thank you

  It was suggested that the 64-bit version of Firefox may relieve this problem for you. Which can be found here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/all/ . Install with all the default values.

  Since you're on the 64-bit version of Windows 10 that you can take advantage of that.

  The explanation as to why this is happening are in a post from jeromiec83223024 this thread here

  and additional results here: Adobe 20 crashing on Firefox 43

  You should now see two instances of flash player not to run out of process in the Task Manager.

  Hope that helps

• Is computer management the same as the Microsoft Management Console

  I've heard people refer to computer management in the MMC or Microsoft Management Console. What is the difference between the two, and why they are called the same thing?
