Windows 7 disk expansion problem

I increased my VM size from 100 to 200 GB (on a terabyte) using the settings side MAC VMWare...

In the computer management console Windows 7 (see table), I can watch the disc resulting and my C: drive was still only 100 GB.  However, at the bottom of the disk management screen, I show a 0 with 200 GB drive.  The bar of disk 0 is contiguous, as far as I can see.  I right click on the C: drive in the top of the screen and see 'Extend the Volume', but this choice is grayed out.

I closed down VMWare completely a couple of times and delivered to market with no luck.

How to get Windows 7 to recognize that additional 100 GB?

OK, problem solved!

First of all, I upgraded from 6.0 to 8.0 VMFusion.  I increased the size of the virtual disk by 1 GB - just enough to trigger a repeat of the virtual disk increase routine. Before the upgrade, I could not successfully increase the size of the disk - it would fail at the end of the (long) process.

I restarted WIN 7 under VMFusion 8.0 and went to the computer management | Disk management.  Now I could right-click on my C:\ drive and the menu option "Extend drive" was available.  Before the upgrade, this option has been grayed out.

After that, it appeared that nothing happened, BUT if you go to the right of the disk management INTERFACE, you will see 'Other Options'.  You will find 'Refresh '. Finally, it showed my disc finally expanded from 100 GB GB 261.

Thank you to all the Chorus for help - it is much appreciated!

P.S. I'll mark this as 'proper' so we can close this point, but it truly reflects the great help I got some people in this thread.

  • Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

    Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks. Have a disk busy on the farm that is used for the storage of video surveillance. When I realize the performance issues, I check and find tht 'daily' Setup for MS disk defragmentation is not in fact run every day. I am watching silent movies and waiting for a 500 GB drive to effectively defragment, pass it is on average 1 percent per minute (with any other IO goes on the disc and app collection closed).

    There must be (I hope) a flag I can put to Disk Defragmenter to be more aggressive in its analysis.

    It is Windows 7 64 bit running on AMD processors, disks are sATA plugged in, although there is also a matrix RAID PCI Promise, it's usually when I started Hello I/O on the Board of 2 TB or utilization of the 'C', I realize the lack of defragmentation. I recall, before the SP1 under WIN 7, he ran on a daily basis, in fact, rather than an API algorith "guess".

    System is in place 24 x 7 (I turn off the monitor at the time of sunset), there is no "powersaver" feature used on this particular device. I edited my original question because after many years of support, I realized, by asking the initial question, that I was not providing information that I would be asked a customer, if I was still doing this job.

    Kind regards

    Hello Lorin,

    There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

    Method 1: He is also a malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Method 2: The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

    Delete files using disk cleanup

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    Method 3: The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

    a. open "Computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.

    b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.

    c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.

    d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

     

    Important: While running chkdsk (check disk) hard disk, if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk attempts to repair this sector, the data available in this area may be lost, and it is not recoverable.

    (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

    Method 4: Disk Defragmenter may be corrupted, requiring a system restore to fix.

    System restore

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

     

    NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    Method 5: There are other programs that are running this interruption, the built-in Defragmenter. Solution:

    a. close all running programs.

    b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

    c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

    d. Select "start Task Manager".

    e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

    Hello

    • When you receive this error message?
    • What were the changes made before the issue started?

    Try the SFC scan on the computer.

    SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

  • Serious teething problems (problems of ubuntu-windows, hard disk problems boot loader)

    I have a laptop ASUS K50IN with recovery partition windows preinstalled on the hard disk (Windows 7, Home Premium edition, 64 - bit).

    I formatted the entire hard drive with Lubuntu installation dvd, I used Lubuntu, for a few weeks with success.
    (I used a removable drive for installation.)
    After that, I wanted to do a dual-boot system (windows-ubuntu).
    I deleted the windows install Summary Lubuntu with recovery partition, so I downloaded a version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit and burned to dvd (I have my product key from the back of the machine). Downloaded from: msft.digitalrivercontent.net.
    I deleted the partitions lubuntu until windows install with windows dvd, made a partition for windows (with the 100 MB system reserved required),
    and began the installation process which took place successfully, but it failed to restart after the installation. As much as I remember came problems.
    I had a few bad boots, but I managed to run the new windows 7, made some configurations, programs installed on it. I always have problems with reboots. (It was stable when I have manged to get into windows itself.)
    I searched the net and found that ubuntu uses grab as boot loader, and it isn't getting deleted with the simple formatting even with a windows installation.
    I tried to repair the boot loader of windows to the Master Boot Record by running the command from the windows installation disk prompt (many tries to start).
    I tried these commands unsuccessfully:
    /fixmbr Bootrec.exe,
    /FixBoot Bootrec.exe,
    /RebuildBcd Bootrec.exe,

    (by the way these commands responded succession of repair)

    Bootsect/nt60 SYS/MBR,
    list not found no operating system compatible hits.

    (Auto repair could not fix problem.)

    Then I used DBAN to completely wipe my drive.
    I used the values in interactive mode (PRNG:mersenne twister, method: DoD short, collar to check: last).
    Ran for 9 hours, crushed 3 times, has completed successfully without errors.
    I read that it removes the MBR sector too.
    I tried to start the windows installation disc, and it shut my computer when it arrives at the end of the second bar with "WINDOWS IS LOADING of FILES.
    Same problem with the installation of ubuntu dvd.

    Same problem with the DBAN disk.

    Same problem when booting from the hard drive.

    Keeps turning itself off in unpredictable ways. Sometimes, I managed to get in installation disc menus, then comes the turn off.

    Above all it stops early in the boot process.

    Hello

    I have an I have a Toshiba-L305D-S5892
    With Vista Home Prem 32

    I have a few problems and am currently blocked.

    Each problem below, is a problem that I met after taking a few steps.

    * The 1st problem *.

    A few hours ago my screen was frozen just after I tried to install this codec from microsoft, so the only option I had was to do a hard reset.
    When my computer back on, I received this message:

    Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

    This error may be cause of disconnect a device removable storage such as an usb external drive while the appliance is in use or by defective as a hard disk hardware or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

    Status: 0xc00000e9

    Info: An unexpected I / 0 error has occurred.

    I didn't have any usb device or removable in media.
    I can only access my utility series at the beginning, which is this menu: hand-Advanced-display-security-Boot - out

    * 2nd problem *.

    I opened my laptop and released the CD / DVD + RW, he started upward and now I get this message:

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable.

    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM.

    * 3rd problem *.

    I downloaded the NEOSMART repair Cd.

    Once I'm in the System Recovery Options, it tells me to select an operating system. However it has not traded. If I press drivers to load, then a message tells me to insert the media, and then select drivers. I almost 'ok', and then am taken to explore, when there are a few system files and files (all empty)?

    I'm confused... any help?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a problem with the system eventually installed the HDD failures.
    Why?

    Due to the issue described in point 2.
    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable error is displayed because the phone didn t find the installed operating system and try to boot from LAN.
    This happens especially if the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS.

    My recommendation;
    Access the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
    If this isn't the case, then you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS, then take a recovery disk and try to reinstall the OS again.
    If you have no recovery disc, then you can order it here.

    Hi Konyga,

    If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?
    If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.

  • P2-1120: Windows repair disk

    My computer Windows 7 needs a repair disk to initialize, but I can't do the him since he cannot start... My other computer is a windows 10 and I wonder if a repair made a computer disc windows 10, be compatible with a Windows 7?

    OneOneWorld

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about needing a Windows repair disk and wanted to help.

    Sorry, but from what I remember, the Win10 option is to create a recovery disc - and is supposed to be written on a USB key.

    If your Win7 PC can boot on USB, you can give it a try.

    But if it does not, the ISO file to create a repair CD Win7 can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

    When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.

    To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn.  Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.

    To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS.  Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick.  Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.

    Then the media start and run Startup Repair three times - that's right, three times - as it takes three passes to repair all files of the boot loader.

    IF it works, when you delete the media and reboot, you should then start a Windows desktop computer.

    Good luck

    Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?  MikeW

    There are many possible reasons.  What you have tried to do over time?  Is there additional information printed with this message?  A few possible reasons come to mind:

    • The file was opened exclusively by the operating system or another program
    • The full path to the file from the C:\... contain more than 256 characters
    • Permissions problem: you have read permissions for the file or permission in writing to the destination
    • The file entry or damaged directory disk sector. (Run the command chkdsk with the /R option to this address)
    • The file is larger than 4 GB and you try to copy it to a disk formatted with a FAT file system.

    I'm sure that there are more reasons, but need more information.
