Why "develop the capacity of drive" lasts forever?

In Workstation 8.0, why "develop the capacity of drive" lasts forever? The disc is preallocated, then it should have been just a few miliseconds operation (change a pointer or two). Or do you have some "genius" decided to fill the disk with zeros in the first place or something? (Seriously, fire that one!).

Slightly embarrassed, as you can probably. He's been at it for several hours already (increase in the size of 400G).

A sparse disk (not previously affected) contains the metadata at the beginning, including a directory of grain and grain tables, that point to a single block of 64 KB of data each (a grain). At the sparse disk size increase, these metadata should be expanded to address additional data blocks. So what happens is that a new vmdk file is created with existing extended metadata and then all the data (grains) of the vmdk file is copied to the new vmdk file. Once completed, the old vmdk is deleted and a new is renamed to the old name.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

  • Confused about the capacity of the HARD drive on my new Equium L350

    I'm rather confused (normal state) about the capacity of my hard disk. This is supposed to be 120 GB but... On 'My computer', it shows that I have 23 GB of 55.7 left GB on Vista C and 49.8 54.5 on E of data that is delivered to about 110 GB.

    I'm already about 10 GB missing but maybe that is taken up with hidden files. More worrying is that I have so little space on Vista C. Can I save files on the data partition, or is that a no-no? So far, everything I've loaded on it goes into Vista C.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    I agree with InvaderZim.

    But there should also be another reason why the two partitions of HARD drive are smaller than the whole HARD disk.

    I assume you are using the Vista operating system.
    Vista uses hidden for some files from recovery partition.
    If you check the Disk Manager, and you should see all available on your HARD disk partitions.

    See you soon

  • Increase the capacity of the drive to ReadyNas 3200 RN12P0000-100WWS

    Nice day!

    We have 12-Bay device (ReadyNas 3200 RN12P0000-100WWS) with 2 TB each disk (WDC WD2002FYPS)

    Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.28.

    Could you please help me understand is possible to change the HARD drive in 3/4 to? And if it's possible could you please share the part number & model of HARD drive (Western Digital are preffered)

    The 3200 only supports drives that are more capacious 2 TB in bays 1-4. In the bays, 5-12 you are limited to 2 TB drives.

    There are a few limitations of expansion for RAIDiator - x 86 4.2.x

    1 cannot extend over 8 to over the life of the volume, so if the capacity of the volume is 1.8 to when your last made a factory default (erases all the data, settings, all that) you can't expand beyond 9.8 TB

    2 cannot extend beyond 16 TB. Do a factory default (erases all the data, settings, everything) with the disks in place. However, with for example 8x2TB and 4x4TB using X-RAID2 it would create a layer using 12x2TB then try grow to use the 2 TB remaining on 4 TB drives and fail. You could use Flex-RAID and create several volumes.

    Note our RN3220 and RN4220 do not have these limitations of expansion but they use a different OS and file system

    You could get a 3220 or 4220 and new disks and backup data from the former NAS to the new NAS then reverse backup jobs to use the 3200 for backups of your important data.

    Hi Paul,.

    This article was created when users have faced problem with old drivers for AMD graphics card.

    Yes, you can upgrade to the last 16.1 pilots and who should work well however, you should have 1 GB VRAM or more to take advantage of the GPU processors.

  • message comes up saying storage is full. The capacity is 13.5 GB. I bought storage monthly plan 50GB (icloud) message still says ipad is full. Why?  UD) I bought the storage

    I have a version 7.1.2 IPAD2.  The capacity is 13.5 GB. Message comes up saying storage is almost full. I bought the extra 50 GB storage for this (icloud) plan monthly - in settings according to usage.  45 GB is always available. Why message rises who always says "complete storage '.

    You have purchased storage iCloud.  This is used to store things like backups and if necessary documents and data to share with other Apple devices.

    Your iPad storage is full.  This has absolutely nothing to do with your iCloud-storage space.  You can not buy additional storage for your iPad.  When you run low on storage of the iPad, you have two options:

    • Managing the storage of iPad with settings > General > storage & use iCloud > manage storage.  Remove items from your iPad you need is no longer.
    • Sell your iPad and buy a replacement with more storage.

  • failed to reinstall Vista, the capacity of the hard drive has disappeared

    I have a HP Pavillion desktop computer. Recently, my PC went crazy, I think he might have a virus or something. I forgot to renew my anti-virus software. I have at least 2 problems that left me mouth gaping. I uninstalled Vista, I tried to reinstall from my recovery disc, the re-installation always hangs up after that both CD is installed, after the CD is ejected last PC will try to start but the result is a blue screen I can't remove by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete. When the blue screen is gone, the PC is running at a slower pace. The PC is equipped with a 500 GB hard drive. Another problem is that the 'C' drive indicates 48.8 GB size and drive "D" indicates 9,76 GB. I don't know what happened to nearly 450 GB of space which should be in the C drive. Someone knows something like that? Thank you

    Problem with the HP recovery process, you will need to contact them.

    The recovery process is supposed to consider return to how you bought.

    But it is Recovery HP process, not Microsoft.

  • Why can't replace my drive hard hp compaq 6200SFF 250gig with the largest disk

    I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier.   I want to replace my drive hard HP Compaq 6200SFF with a larger 250gig. I've done it before with other computers with no problems. I bought a 500gig drive at a local store and makes a picture of Symantec Ghost (option was image-boot) to my 250gig drive.    Then I installed the drive and started again with my ghost drive.  Normally I just launch the function of disk image restore to restore the image of the old drive to the new drive.  When I tried to do with the 6200, very well restored ghost image but as soon as I start on the new drive, I get an error message saying that "windows does not stop normally.   I never get to see the Windows Startup logo and welcome screen or something else than this black screen with white letters.  Windows did end normally when I was last using the 250 GB drive and it will power off.  I can't get the restart to go further - I just get the same error screen - there is no options or choice - all said the message is to call your service representative.  Is there something special about 6200 readers?  Do you need to do something instead of or in addition to making a ghost image?  Is it something in the bios that should reset itself?

    Thank you, Hanspuppa.  I think you have a more recent version of Acronis, I ghost.  However, I was able to solve my problem using the Windows repair disk.  I ghost a disk image (ghost - ib) of my drive hard old man and then did a ' local disk image - of ' put the image on my new drive.  I received the repetitive message "Windows 7 does not normally" but then inserted the windows repair disk and booted from it.  He finds that the boot image on the new drive was bad and repaired.  He did not cela easily - reboot/turn off many times before the finished repair disk, I had and the pc booted from the new hard drive properly.  Now, I can do this with windows 7 and the emulation of hard drive has been to AHCI.  Knit a friend and I tried to do this on an another HP6200 with an image of Windows XP. We did not have a handy XP repair disk, but we went in the settings of the bios under storage on disk and passed the SATA AHCI to IDE emulation.  When we restarted Windows message here once, we supported on enter and him went pc to boot normally.  So the problem revolved around the difference in the AHCI IDE and the boot image created by Ghost.

  • Why development is better in the platform of application waterfalls at the original place.

    Hello

    Please suggest why development is better in the waterfalls of platform application instead of native...

    mainly because you have a ready user interface to use and don't have to write it yourself.

    There are (other) infrastructure of user interface available for native, as QtQuick, but they do not have the same look & feel and users will quickly get used to the behavior of the cascades apps.
    (or html5 apps, which reproduce it)

    unless you want to have a completely custom user interface (or not?), I see little reason not go to waterfalls.

  • When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot?

    When you connect 1 or several external USB drives, why is the letter a * shoot? Referencing external drives through library (Windows V7) becomes a really shiny, totally useless feature without consistency of drive letter. Or unnecessary to be a design goal? I almost had it still works but who finally to 3 minutes). What it will take to make useful new features?

    Windows assigns the first available on the first hard drive connected and one drive letter to another and so on.  Always has, always will. What will help sometimes (but), is to open disk from an elevated command prompt management and adversely affect permanent a letter from your external drive which is much higher than the letters in use.  This will often allow the will to keep a letter.
