Windows 7 backup fails and gives me the message that there is insufficient disk space. I have over 2oo gigs of free space on one drive and 900 on the other.
Hello,
i'm thinking about installing (using Sun Virtual Box) Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows7 on external disk connected to USB port of my new MacBook; do you think perfomances will be terrific? Have you tried something similar?
Thanks in advance !

I want to install Ubuntu from a non bootable Ubuntu disk. I currently have Windows XP installed. How can I do that?
My intention is to remove Windows completely.
Back in the day, floppy disks were a: and if you were lucky b:, then when permanent storage came along c: was the default for hard disks (as I remember it)
Now that many computers no longer have floppy disks is it possible to have your primary hard disk as A: is the convention out dated?
Removable drives (like DVDs and flash readers) now seem to take lower precedence than permanent storage so it is a bit of an oddity that floppy disks should have higher letters.
Upon starting Windows Server 2008 R2 I get this error message:
Event ID 11 Disk
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk3\DR3.
There are also also 3 more similar messages for Harddisk 2, 4, and 5, but not zero or 1.
Checking the event viewer reveals it's been going on for 3 months.
I ran chkdsk - no bad sectors.
Any advice on the cause, better still, a solution?
So I screwed up my grub.conf file on a CentOS system and I'm in recovery right now (it's only a test dedicated server). My disks are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 (RAID 1). Now I need to mount /dev/sda1 and make changes to the grub file, however those changed need to be reflected on the second disk aswell.
How do I mount these RAID disks? I can mount one using mount -t ext3however it will damage the RAID array.

I have Maxtor Basics Desktop 1TB external USB drive connected to Windows XP. The dirve's firmware puts it to sleep after 10-20 min of inactivity and then the drive cannot be mounted unless I reset it via power connector.
While in sleep mode I can see the device in the Device Manager under both Disk drives and USB sections.
Is there a way to get the drive out of sleep mode without hard reset?
Thanks
I'm working on vmwaer image files. My computer always load hard disk and vmware works very slow at the same time.
Guest operation system: WindowsXP SP2
Host operation system: WindowsXP sp2
Is there any way can improve the performance?
I just plugged in a very simple 1GB USB stick from the office in hopes of making it a Fedora Live USB stick. For that to work, I need a removable storage device, or else it won't appear in LiveUSB Creator's list.
Explorer lists my USB stick as a hard disk:
LiveUSB Creator indeed doesn't show it in the device list:
Is there any way of forcing Windows to see the stick as a removable storage device?
just wondering how far drive configuration will affect squid cache performance.
what kind of drive configuration that fast enough for squid ?
is it true that block-level parity strip raid faster than byte-level one ?
is mirrored drive config will decrease squid cache write process ?
how much swap space that squid realy need to store cache (reverse mode) for 200mb web doc ?
what kind of benchmark should i do to analyze squid disk performance ?
Currently we use an iSCSI SAN as storage for several VMware ESXi servers. I am investigating the use of an NFS target on a Linux server for additional virtual machines. I am also open to the idea of using an alternative operating system (like OpenSolaris) if it will provide significant advantages.
What Linux-based filesystem favours very large contiguous files (like VMware's disk images)? Alternatively, how have people found ZFS on OpenSolaris for this kind of workload?
What is the point of finalizing CD/DVDs from user's point of view? First of all does it have any impact on reliability of media or it's just a way to ensure that the content of the disk cannot be changed?
I wonder because I use DVDs to store my system backups.
I have one disk partitioned into 2 logical drives, C and D. There is no unallocated space. I need to add space to C: so I want to use some space from D (plenty available).
How can I do this without losing data on D:?
Edit: This is a Windows machine.
I have a per-user disk quota on our server. Each user has their own folder to store data and whatnot. However, there is also a public folder which each user has access to. I was wondering if it was possible to exclude files in this folder from counting against a user's quota.
I have a Windows XP x64 install in VMware Fusion. The amount of space that the VM reports as used (C:) is ~20GB. However, the amount of space the VM is taking up on my disk is 30GB. Why the inconsistency? I do not have autoprotect enabled, nor do I have any snapshots I'm aware of. I have defragmented the drive and used Drive Cleanup from the VMware settings.
Hello I had my windows 7 dvd with me, and I had earlier copied all the files from it and dumped them into a folder on my computer's hard disk. Now I want to burn a bootable dvd from this dump, how can I do that?
Can somebody help in creating a bootable dvd to troubleshoot a problem on my windows 7 system. I went on a vacation earlier and lost my original windows 7 os dvd, now I only have the dump.
I'm running Ubuntu Squeeze and on one of the partitions df is showing the Total size as 335G:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb 335G 225G 94G 71% /mnt
However in the past it was showing as 360GB (which is the actual size):
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 365.0 GB, 365041287168 bytes
lsof +L1 does not return anything (and anyway if this would be the case the Total space should not be affected.)
On this partition I'm writing (and deleting) a lot of files and this happened before in the past, but problem solved by itself.
Hi,
I want to know about how to view the disk I/O in linux so that i can check if i have to increase the ram.
Also the limits/thresholds after which i should increase the ram.
Thank You
