• Option "Reconfigure" in vCenter 4.1 to enlarge the size of the partition system on WIndows 2003

  I had just noticed this and I was wondering if I could use this option to expand the system (c) on a Windows 2003 Server partition.

  I know there are several ways to do this but, in the past, I was always a V2V, change the size of the C: volume during conversion and once checked... delete the original virtual machine.

  The "reconfigure" appears it can accomplish the same thing faster. Is this true?

  Here's how a good to use a helper VM.  Hower, be very careful that your VM is not no matter what instant assets.

  To my question, 'reconfigure' offers another option for extension of partition for the WIndows 2003 System. I'll try it in the lab, but I was wondering if someone has already done this successfully.

  No, it reconfigures option does not increase the volume in the guest operating system.

• Custom extension created logical partition

  I created a custome partition by reducing 50 GB on my C drive.  I named the new logical drive A
  Now, I've exhausted 49 GB of this space and I need to extend it.  Is possible to allocate more memory to a custom created existing logical partition?

  You cannot extend to the rear.
  If you have another Partition after it, you need to remove the next Partition > extend your 50 GB in this space.
  It's your choice.

• Comments bad extension ESXi 3.5 partition

  Greeting to all.  I have an ESXi 3.5.0 running a Windows 2003R2 32 bit VM server that is my exchange Server 2003.  The partition that contains the information store gets tight and I want ot expand it.  The host is a proliant HP box with a lot of local storage to do what I want, but for reasons still unknown, I can't get this to work.

  I found this article online, describing basically exactly what I want to do.  I can't warm externd because the disc is not set in persistent mode, so I turned off the virtual computer and make him remains, as shown in the linked article.

  http://www.ivobeerens.nl/?p=32

  The data sheet for current hard drive 2 says is 120GB, max is 256 GB.  I tried to max out and still add 1 GB.  The syslog says he performed the operation successfully, but he treats never really change.  I have self no error codes, but outside of the client interface of basic infrastructure, I'm not sure if where to look for this information.

  I know that I have to update Update 4, but unfortunately since the server was registered by my provider, I am not allowed to download the ESXi files, so I have to wait in them... by VM in the meantime even if I continue to run out of space on my server.

  Planing on moving the log files off the coast of the partition to make space as a temporary solution, but the real solution is to extend the partition correctly.

  The gurus have suggestions about where to go from here?

  Perhaps down the virtual machine and put the disc in persistent mode?

  Thank you.

  This host is managed by vCenter?  If so, the guest in question has a preview?  You cannot extend the HARD disk in the user interface if the customer has a snapshot.

• My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed.

  My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed. The plug in page shows the plug ins I installed. How can I fix it? This happened on my 64 bit Windows 7 partition. I installed the extension "classic add-on" to see if she could solve the problem. There is unfortunately no. I have a screenshot. I'm not sure if I have permission to upload it to the media gallery. I also use Linux, but I did not upgrade that are still there.

  It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

  Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

• Satellite T130-11 t - need to clean the D partition and increase partition C

  Hi all
  This is my first post and Im not a grumpy so apologies in advance. Ive tried searching the Internet for help with this but cant get long, it is therefore proposed that post.

  I have a Satellite T130-11 t which has 232 GB HDD. Setting it up as 2 drives, C and D with 116 GB on each. The C drive is complete, but its probably just photos / movies so I can solve that by copying the external hard disk, but the D drive is roughly the same.

  Ive looked at the directory and under HDD recovery it is a subfolder called swing and inside are 8 x .srm extensions and 2 x crc files, are all of 2009.

  Files take about 8Gb and I can't delete them as it says I should do so under SYSTEM - the operating system is in German so Im a little hesitant exaclty, what the problem is - and systemfile nervous deletion.

  Drive D but has more than 90 GB of info - when I click on drive D in Windows Explorer, it does not at all look like, there are all large files it. Could there be some hidden files not seen Im?

  Performance is very slow and I want to save or delete/reformat the drive D to drain - any ideas how to clean my D drive please and ideally reduce its size and move some of the allocation of memory on the C drive without losing my data already on C?

  I understand forums that the HARD drive is a recovery file, but should take only about 10 GB cannot so I a C of say 200 GB and 30 GB on D drive?

  Yet once I don't want to corrupt or lose all data already C

  Also when I start it, a message informs you that there are missing files in the directorym LOCAL smply disappeared.

  Thanks in advance

  My first question is: did you create a recovery (DVD or USB) media? If Yes, you can use this media for any new OS install when you want. With other words, you can delete all the partition recovery D if you want, but in my opinion you should not do this. If these recovery files are still there you will also be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility.

  > Drive C is full, but its probably a few photos / movies so I can solve that by copying on the external hard drive...
  Fix.
  >.. but the D drive is substantially the same. Ive looked at the directory and under HDD recovery it is a subfolder called swing and inside are 8 x .srm extensions and 2 x crc files, are all of 2009.
  This file belongs to the original recovery image. More or less 10GB isn't a big deal. Leave it as it is.
  > Could it be Im not see hidden files?
  It is not easy to say, because we do not know how your laptop is configured and what files should be saved on the D partition. What you can try is to open the control panel > folder options > view > and check for hidden files and folders. Choose the option Show hidden... files and check again the D partition.
  > Also when I start it, a message informs you that there are missing files in the directorym LOCAL smply disappeared.
  In my opinion, nothing can simply disappeared.
  I think you should check them all, back up all of your important and after data makes this OS install using original recovery image. After that do you have own OS preinstalled, portable will have better performance and also, I think that you will be happy again.

• Cannot install windows after reset of the partition

  I've literally been sitting to my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp at work, however after tons of things difficult and research I found online I'm always at a loss. Initially, I had installed windows 7 a few weeks ago for the second time (after that yosemite deleted my previous one during the upgrade) and everything was fine. Then, I took the decision to uninstall my windows because I really wanted to expand the size of my partition, then backed up all my files and used bootcamp to delete windows and re partitioning my hard drive to a single volume. However after this, and then following the same exact steps as before (running bootcamp and sharing in a larger space) once the restarts my laptop that it comes up with the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" instead start windows automatically load (as it did before). I've repeated several times in the hope that it would work once however I can't help but feel that there is a problem with my hard drive and when I try to check my hard drive (not the 'Macintosh HD' a top one) sometimes - (I say sometimes because it does not say this error when you try to check) said this :

  I'm really not good when it comes to such things, so this information can be totally irrelevant, sorry! I had originally check my volumes a recovery when yosemite initially deleted to repartition my hard drive and reinstall windows. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I feel that my hard drive is damaged somewhere (even if yosemite still works perfectly and all my files appear to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders do not work...

  I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

• Expand the partition of drive C on the IdeaPad Z500

  Hi guys,.

  I have a laptop of series of Lenovo IdeaPad Z500, that came with a 60 GB drive C for storage/parition.

  I'm running out of space and was trying to extend the partition using the tools of Paritioning but I don't get the option to extend the C drive, after creating an unallocated partition (say 10-15 GB). I try so to make my partition of the drive C was around 70-75 GB after the extension of the C drive.

  One thing I noticed that I have a score of 300 MB (approx.) just after the C drive. It does not resemble an OKR partition but another thing that I already have a 25 GB of partition OKR.

  I'm suspecting that this 300 MB of partition is coming in my way to extend the partition on the C drive, but I'm just guessing. I could be wrong as well.

  So, I'm currently stuck here and can't seem to find a way to extend the drive C partition without messing up the configuration OKR.

  In addition, I'd appreciate really if someone could tell me how to do a factory default operating system image backup, so I can't run in case my system fails to start at somepoint in time.

  When I open the app OKR, it gives me two options: backup & restore system.

  I'm also confused here if the backup of the system would make the backup of the complete (with all applications at this stage) operating system? If this is the case, then how can we restore that image in the event of a boot failure?

  Overall, here are my questions:

  #How to extend the C drive without affecting the OKR/partition configuration?

  #How to restore the backup system image (saved using "Backup system" option OKR App) when the system does not boot? I have to write to a disc or save it to another partition would also work?

  #Is there a way to default value of the image image factory so I can use it to install the new OS, in case I have problems with the operating system in the future?

  If necessary, I can share the screenshot of the partition table to give you an exact idea how my drive is partitioned.

  I would appreciate really no answer on that.

  Looking forward to hear from you.

  Kind regards

  Nick

  "Therefore, the procedure you mentioned on Page 7 of the post, I should be able to recovery of default of origin of the USB Image and not the 25 GB partition that has already been created for this purpose." Is my understanding correct? »

  Comments: The key USB OKR erase everything on your hard drive and recreate the partitions including the operating system. So, it will be as you receive your unit of Lenovo. So don't forget to make a backup of your personal files.

  "In case the OKR on laptop breaks because of the re-parititioning of the C drive, I still have the USB for it?

  What actually flash as recovery disk, if for some reason, my OS is corrupted and I am unable to start my OKR has messed up too, I would still be able to load/install operating system to factory image on my laptop? »

  Comments: In case that spoil you the partitions, you can restore to factory State (actually you can now decide what size of drive C).

• FileSelectPopup hang with restrict extension option and the imaqGetFilterNames (.)

  Hi, I have a problem with FileSelectPopup suspended.  It happens when I limit the file extension in the pop up, and the user types a name with a different extension (for example, if I limit the file extension to "*.dat" and the user types "data.txt").  This causes the pop to "leader limited extension to...» "I get a wait cursor and I can't click on anything to make the pop-up go away that effectively blocks the application.  This happens on both the deployment of PC and my development workstation.  In the debugger when I hit the stop button indicates that the program is in the function FileSelectPopup (...).  Oddly enough, so far I only see this on PC under Windows 7 (64-bit, professional) while the computers Windows XP (deployment and development) not yet shown that it.

  After a while, I managed to follow him to the function imaqGetFilterNames (.).  If I call a (...) FileSelectPopup before calling the function imaqGetFilterNames (.) it behaves properly.  If I called him after that I call the function imaqGetFilterNames (.), then I get the hang.  I have attached a sample application.  To see the problem, click on the button 'Get the names of the filters', then click on the button "Generate FileSelectPopup" and enter a file name with a different extension that allowed such as "data.txt".  If the 'Get the names of the filters' button is not clicked first then the FileSelectPopup behaves normally.

  My development PC running CVI 2010 SP1 10.0.1 (419).  I have NEITHER-IMAQ 4.6.1, e/s NOR-IMAQ, NOR-IMAQdx 3.9.1, 2.5 NO Vision 10.0.  Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

  Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

  It is a problem with the apartment thread style. As it is described here on MSDN, using a partition multithreaded model can cause problems with the Windows file dialog boxes. The FileSelectPopup function is essentially a wrapper autour windows file dialog boxes that help you with the different settings. So, if you use a partition multithreaded model, you can run into issues every time with the help of the CVI FileSelectPopup or one of the other windows file dialog boxes. In general, your request will be only to get ready to partition multithreaded if you call ActiveX, because all functions in the ActiveX CVI library initialize thread for partition multithreaded model. I'm not familiar with the vision software, but I suspect they are will make a call ActiveX or in any other way during the initialization of the threading model for bulkhead multithreaded. To avoid this deadlock, you can simply set the threading model for the single apartment of threads before calling the function IMAQ. at the beginning of the hand () is a good place. Once the threading model has been initialized, it is set in stone and cannot be changed. It's a good thing here because it prevents IMAQ function change to partition multithreaded.

  The beginning of hand () add the following:

  CA_InitActiveXThreadStyleForCurrentThread (0, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);

• Increase the size of the Partition

  I am trying to increase the size of the partition of my C drive.

  About 12 months ago someone partitioned my C drive, but the C drive is full and needs to be increased in size. I deleted drive D and it is shown as being unallocated.

  I'm in Diskpart in command prompt, try to expand the size of drive C by typing expand size 22000 but will not accept numbers that I entered. Drive C is 15 GB and unallocated is 22.11 GB

  Does anyone have an idea of what I might do wrong or have I missed something fundamental?

  By using the diskpart utility requirements

  1. The volume should be the NTFS file system. If it is FAT or FAT32, you must convert it to NTFS.

  2. With respect to basic disks, unallocated space must be behind the need to extend partition.

  3. The extension supports simply volumes of data. It prohibits a system partition or starting of extended. This is the reason why the diskpart failed to extend the volume on my 2003 Server system partition.

  4. The partition where the system pagefile is stored isn't available to expand unless the file is moved to a partition that you do not want to extend.

  Other: in regard to Windows 2000/xp, you cannot extend the volume simple dynamic disk that was created on a basic disk. The limitation has been cancelled in Windows Server 2003.

  As mentioned above, there are so many limitations in the line utility diskpart command, you cannot extend a volume easily. So I recommend you to use a free partition manager - Partition Wizard.

• I moved folders amd64 and i386 to another partition, later deleted them there and now have copies of 0 bytes in the trash who refuse to go away or to restore.

  I found the folders containing these subfolders on my C:\ drive and thought I would move to another partition, because they are not referenced in the registry.  Years later, I deleted those same files, then erased and then removed again from the trash.

  But they refuse to go away... remaining as with attrib C 0 byte files.  Does not restore.  Trash has no security tab by which I could take control of these nuisances, and Unlocker does not work.

  Any way to rebuild the trash or otherwise to clean?  The files remain an embarrassing reminder of my foolishness, but otherwise my system is always very good.

  See if this sounds like your situation and react accordingly:

  When some programs (including Windows) installs things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.

  This explains why the records are sometimes on your C drive or any other drive - the most space?

  For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:

  D:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5

  There may be other folders and files in this main temporary folder such as amd64 and i386 platforms.

  They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails.  They are harmless but annoying.  You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary.  To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.

  If your installation has failed or the installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it finishes running again installation will be another folder at the random name.

  You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders.  If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.

  Records are sometimes tough to remove.  Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders.  Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.

  There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.

  Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is a good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.

  If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK.  This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.

  Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab.  Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.

  With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:

  General, sharing, customize

  With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:

  General, security, customize

  Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.

  It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.

  If none of the above works, try a popular third-party tool called Unlocker.

  Unlocker can be downloaded here:

  http://www.emptyloop.com/Unlocker/

  If you use Unlocker, be sure to install because he wants to add a bunch of options, addons, shortcuts and other extras that you don't need.

  You must add the shell extension so when you right click on the offending file, you will have a Unlocker option to choose.  I would just install it long enough to clean up the leftovers and then, I usually just uninstall and all parts of it.  You can always install it again another day if you like.

  Unlocker can be uninstalled when you have finished using it.

  Reboot when finished to ensure that boring records are really missing.

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the Task Manager, the registry, System Restore and command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  Open Notepad to create a new text file:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  notebook

  Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

  Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
  "DisableCMD" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
  "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableConfig" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableSR" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoRun" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoRun" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoClose" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoClose" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

  Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

  enableit.reg

  After you save the file, close Notepad.

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  Reboot your system and test.

  You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

  If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

  Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  For the benefit of Microsoft technical support engineers, here are some ideas offered in the past which does NOT help with this issue:

  Safe Mode boot
  Last good known Configuration startup
  A clean boot
  Sfc/scannow in running (or trying to run)

• How expand you a healthy (C:\) partition in the unallocated disk space - used to be partitioned as D:\?

  At some point in the past, someone partitioned my hard drive in C:\ = 15 GB and D:\ = 95 GB.  It is the source of the problems. I can't afford to pay someone to fix it as I became unemployed.  SO after some research, I gutted and then deleted the partition D:\. Then I went to "diskpart" in command prompt and typed "extend", thinking that would extend the C drive in the now unallocated space that used to be the partition D:\. Got mssg "part of disk cannot extend the volume. Please make sure the volume is valid for the extension. "How do I do that?  Thank you.

  As you discovered, you can't extend the system (C) partition using tools provided with Windows.  You need a third-party disk partitioning application.
