VMWare fusion 4 - how to repair the virtual drive?

Similar Questions

• VMWare Fusion makes a break from the virtual machine because the disk is almost full.

  Is I myself am sitting at my computer this morning, I saw a message that says the guest system Windows XP Pro on my Mac Mini has been suspended.  Here is the message:

  "VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I can't find a way to shut down Windows to resize hard disk space allocation.  I tried the Virtual Machine menu, but all the shut down/put off the power points are grayed out.

  Any ideas out there?

  You must read the message!

  BTW if force you the VM to the bottom you may corrupt the virtual system hard disk and or the VHD file and you need to just do as the message says and free up space on the OS X hard disk even if you temporarily move a few things on an external hard drive so that you can then reactivate the Virtual Machine and continue on the it.

• [Beginner] How to change the virtual machine name

  Hello

  How can I change the name of a Virtual Machine - I want to say the name that appears in VMPlayer (or VMWare Fusion) as it has recently used Virtual Machines. I tried to change the name of the vmx file but this does not affect the name of the virtual machine displayed in VMPlayer.

  Thank you very much.

  VMware Fusion 3.x and 2.x but not 1.x, you can click on and change the name of the virtual machine in the Virtual Machine library on the right side, just under the display area.

  For VMware Player you need to edit the "displayName ="parameter in the configuration file .vmx and of VMware Player virtual machine must be closed when you perform this operation."

• How can I access the log files of the application of a ThinApp on the virtual drive?

  I thinstalled an application using the v4.6 and I am able to launch and run the captured application.

  But the application creates log files to:

  c:\Program files\ensembleProAgent\LOGS\

  So I can access them on of ThinApp virtual drive?

  If so, any help is appreciated, I don't know where is the virtual drive or how I can access / read it.

  Thank you

  Joel

  Hello

  A virtual drive in the world of ThinApp means a disk that you have virtualized so he will be present for the virtualized application. If you mean by the word virtual drive where we keep the changes not applied to the physical environment are you talking about what we call the sandbox. Default location would be users with roaming profiles in a folder called Thinstall (ThinApp used to be called Thinstall until VMware has acquired the product)... Method of pomp for the sandbox would be to hit start - run on your client and enter %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto and click OK...

• How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection

  Hello!

  I keep looking for an answer to this anywhere on the web and 3 books, but can't find the answer...

  How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection?

  Here's the workflow, and where I'm stuck.

  1. I chose a picture and put it in a collection.

  2. I did a whole bunch of virtual photos in the collection copies that I tried different modifications.

  3. after and during a lot of changes, I have a lot of virtual copies removed from my collection because I decided against the changes after doing some comparisons.

  4. when I went the folders to select my next picture to work away and so to add to the collection, I discovered that each of my virtual copies was in the original folder, even if I had deleted from my collection.

  5. I really don't want these virtual copies deleted to be in my home folder.  They were virtual copies of trial and error and I wanted them to really just be thrown out.

  6. how to identify these virtual copies removed-from-the-collection in my folder?  File names all look the same, and besides, I want to be absolutely certain that I have selected the right ones.  Some of the changes were very minor and would be difficult to see without laboriously go through them one by one.

  Thank you very much!!

  Anne

  No easy answer on fixing the mess other than an individual inspection of the virtual copy can't watching the Images/Edit history to determine which ones that you no longer need.

  But to help prevent the problem in the future: when you are working from a collection, you must use ALT + return back to remove a copy of Photo or virtual catalog. With just the key DELETE or BACKSPACE only deletes the photo from the collection.

• Problem with VMWare Tools and the virtual drive

  Hello

  I installed the test version of "Workstation" and installed a windows 7 x 86 non-virtual DVD drive mapped, which is mounted on D:\.

  Subsequently, I installed all Windowsupdates and after that I tried to install the VMWare Tools.

  But every time I get the message that I should look on the 'virtual' drive on D:\.

  But there is no virtual drive, it is my DVD of the hostsystem.

  Is there a way to mount a virtual drive with tools or install them in another way?

  Thanks in advance

  Taldrit

  Hello

  You can directly install the VMware tool configuration by copying the setting in the machine and manually install the same.

  Try VMware on another machine tool in which you will get the installation... Copies on disk and then move it to your new VM and do a manual configuration.

  Hi all

  Anyone know how to mount the virtual folder of the ILO on ESXi5.5?

  What is the command that I should do the editing?

  Usually in Linux or Windows, if you clicked on the virtual drivers on HP iLO web interface, you will see the mounted folder automatically in the operating system.

  But I don't know how it would be or how to have the same functionality in ESXi host. Can anyone help?

  Thank you.

  Question:

  Why oracle.exe takes 8 Virtual G; bytes, memroy target may not go beyond 5 G. How to minimize the virtual bytes perfmon

  Thank you for your time and help.

  When you talk about Oracle.exe you seem not to take into account

  -L'executable memory will too

  -Oracle is a multithreaded Windows process, so memory consumption goes also to the different client that are connected to the database session.

  This means, you consume approximately 3G of memory beyond the LMS, and it is quite reasonable.

  So if you want to make sure that oracle consumes less than 8G memory, you have two options

  -reduce the SGA

  You spend more than 50 percent of the memory of the SGA. Oracle has never recommended that

  You might be willing to v$ sga_target_advisor allows you to see the impact of this change.

  You may also set your SQL queries

  -the second option you have is to stop Oracle.

  For sure it will use less than 8G in this solution.

• How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

  After you create a virture machine and put the CD of driver on host, when powered on the vertual machine, may not start the drive form the CD only from NIC.

  How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

  Right-click on the virtual computer and go to edit settings. Click the Options tab and under the tip list, there should be Boot Options. Enter an amount of milliseconds to wait before your boot, so you can activate the CD-ROM. You can also activate the CD even if it boots to the NETWORK card option, and then reset the virtual machine. Get the focus of this virtual machine on the console session, and then press ctrl-alt-insert. Your CD-ROM will stay connected if you do not want to delay the startup process.

  You can declare the event directly click handler MXML online, you don't need the initfunc() on creationComplete:

  You need not switch in handleEvent, a line will do everything:

  TextBox.Text += button .label (event.currentTarget);

  The only advantage I see declaring all these components button in MXML, you can visually position the keys by using Design view in Flex Builder.

• VMPlayer, how Boot on a virtual drive?

  Hello, I created a virtual drive in my computer (Win7) host and I am able to see in my VM (win7) reviews.  I chose this as my main drive in the guest virtual computer.  I bascially wanted to boot from the virtual drive that I created to run installation.

  I see not all boot settings so I guess that its in the BIOS as usual, accessing the BIOS appears not so easy, I found somethings that say I can add a delay so I am able to get to the easier to access the BIOS splash screen I placed this line, bios.bootdelay = "5000" in the file .vmxf (using Notepad).  Still can't do.  I have since deleted the line.

  How can I start on this virtual disk that I created?

  Change the boot sequence in the BIOS?  If so, what is best method to access BIOS in my VM guest operating system.

  Thank you!

  This setting must be placed in the (configuration of the VMware virtual machine) .vmx file is not the file .vmxf (VMware virtual machine VIX meta - data) .

  Also adding the following parameter to the .vmx (configuration of the VMware virtual machine) file not the the .vmxf (VMware virtual machine VIX meta-data) file force boot in the BIOS once and then change the value of the parameter to "FALSE".

  bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"

  A recent virus attack, my computer has lost some files of the operating system.  With the help of the Lim has provided the recovery disk, which offered ' upgrade/repair' or a 'new installation '.  I chose ' install new ', actually I found many of my files are still there - that means that if a virus has escaped "Detection / removal" will always be there.

  Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

  In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.
