The easy transfer tool Windows calculates disk space before starting to transfer?

Using the transfer windows easy between 2 pc both with vista. Calculate wet if there is enough space on 'new' drive until it begins the transfer?

Thanks for the help.

original title: disk space

Hi Pitski,

Yes, Windows easy transfer evaluates disk space is needed to transfer your selections. If you use a USB flash drive, try to use one with enough storage space for the transfer of all. If your USB drive is not large enough to transfer everything at once, you can copy as many files that it will hold, transfer those files to the new computer, and then reconnect the drive to the old computer and repeat the process.

You can consult the section "what method should I use to transfer my files and settings?" section:

    Hi George P Boutwell,.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    I think that VMware has a 64-bit/function version. You will need to contact them to verify this.
    64-bit to 32-bit is not supported by Windows Easy Transfer, as far as I know.

    I hope this helps.

  • calculate disk space total used by databases oracle across the company

    Hello

    If we want to know the number of instances, the number of RAC databases and disk space around total used by oracle (not the size of file system),

    1. any script can be run to grid control OEM against all instances/databases?

    or

    2. we have a unix server that has the entire databases tnsnames, any script that we can run from there?

    Thank you very much!!

    This is not a difficult task.

    What OEM version you have?

    (i) connection in OEM

    (2) create a Group and add all of the databases in this group

    3) go to the "Reports" section in OEM and GO to 'Oracle database space use (group)'

    4) click on this link

    (5) select the group that you created in the previous step and see the report.

    (6) it will show you the TOTAL space, space allocated and free space of all databases in the group together.

  • Windows Vista disk space eat my available hard!

    Hello

    I run Vista on VMWare Fusion on my Mac, but every time I use it I see my hs 'GB available' (displayed at the bottom of each Finder window) has increased of 1 and 2 GB.

    I'm not instant and the size of the prompt in the folder Documents/Virtual MachinesWindows Vista.vmwarevm remains unchanged at about 28GB.

    I use VMWare 2.0.5 and Snow Leopard.

    Can someone advise?

    Thank you!

    Yes very easy.  Vista is started, it creates a swap file.  Given the unknown parameters in this equation, the memory is low, and so you need to swap the memory to disk.  More, you run the virtual machine, the pagefile over.

    Stop Vista, but the VMDK increments until the full complement you configured, and eventually it will get to a point where it will not 'push' but I don't know how much space you started with, the amount of RAM that you gave the VM of Vista, and we do not know the State of the file between stops.

  • The easy transfer of work since XP to XP? __

    My wife doesn't want to upgrade to a PC with Vista/7 yet, because she applications she loves on his slow PC XP old who do not have the Vista/7 compatible versions. I was able to buy a PC XP used through my company with a faster processor and more memory, and I want to transfer its data from an XP to another XP.

    Yes, it works on Windows XP to Windows XP also.

  • When is it safe to remove the old updates and patches recover disk space?

    I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

    Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

    If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.
