Hey all, I resized a partition inside a KVM RAW file system disk image. When I start the Win7 virtual machine it does not report the new partition size. It shows the file system as 15GB instead of the 50GB size of the partition that it lives on. I gather from hours so reading the manual that I need to increase the NTFS file system size to fill the new larger partition where it lives. The

...hoot, turn off. "continue" goes to a splash screen like "attempting to repair" which fails. "troubleshoot" has a command prompt option. That's running Windows cmd.exe in one of the other partitions, mounted as X: In that, I find commands "chkdsk", "diskpart", "bootrec", "bcdedit" etc. To cut an even longer story short, I did something like: X:\ diskpart diskpart> select disk 0 diskpart> select partition 4 (the NTFS system one) diskpart> set id=ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7 X:\ bcdedit /set {default} device part...

...my work domain. Everything was fine for a while. Later when I tried to reboot, I got the "Preparing Automatic Repair" message and when I selected "Startup Repair", I got the error "Startup repair couldn't repair your PC". I then went to command prompt, started 'diskpart' and ran "list disk" and got the error "there are no fixed disks to show". I have tried re-installing several times - it always ends up in this state.

...with Linux, and `syslinux.exe --install d:` to install with Windows. In fact, I can prepare a drive with Windows, try and fail to boot, then stick it in my Linux machine and run `extlinux --install /media/drive` and then it will boot. Note that this is a USB flash drive that I've formatted with diskpart as a gpt, enabled the gpt legacy boot flag, and installed gptmbr.bin to the first 440 bytes of the disk. The only thing that I can't figure out is why extlinux --install works but syslinux --install doesn't. Does anyone know why this might be?

Hello, I''d like to be able to create a windows DomU which is to be stored on a NAS (Equallogic) device. I was wondering if anyone has any best practices on how to do this? Is there a way to extend the DomU C drive once you create the initial device, etc? Any suggestions would be great. I have already tried this by just using a phy:/dev/path-to-iscsi-mount- point and it appears to

Call Microsoft and tell them that you resized a file system with a third party tool and now your file system is corrupt and you'd like them to support you. Await the click and awkward silence. hey, I'd hang up, too. I don't trust in-place partition shrinking, no matter WHAT the software.

...re turning to you all for help. The MS tools complained about trying to expand the active file system. It appears that the tools on Win7 Pro can not expand the active system file system. I tried both the GUI version where you right click on the file system and choose expand, and the command line diskpart command. I used: kpartx -av my.img to mount my image file ntfsresize -P --force --force /dev/mapper/loop0p2 to resize the file system to fit the previously expanded partition. Widows ran a file system check, booted up, and now reports a 50GB partition. I'm happy, and Windows is happy. Now...

...nly able to do 1MB/s (4k direct io 4 outstanding) on a non-aligned partition, on an aligned partition I was able to get 13MB/s with the same workload. That's 13x improvement. For Linux you can use fdisk/sfdisk to start your first partition on sector 64 instead of the default 63. On Windows use diskpart to create a partition that is aligned on a given offset. -Ross

Wow, wow, wow tell me my eyes are not deceiving me. This is so cool. I saw some stuff about NTFS so I tried an experiment I used window's diskpart to reformat my USB drive and create an ntfs partition. I used version 6.03 syslinux on the drive and created the syslinux directory and files and it booted. My os failed because of no ntfs driver (the Fedora 21 installer image) but it looks like syslinux worked flawlessly on the ntfs I have on my t...

...uot;valid" MBR and GPT partition tables on the disk. In this case sgdisk fails with "Invalid partition data!" message. How to reproduce (esiest way is to use DISPART command line tool in Windows but you can do the same via Disk Manager UI): 1. Have an empty disk in Windows 2. Launch DISKPART (with elevated privileges) 3. Select corresponding disk by number (SELECT DISK N) 4. Create GPT partition table (CONVERT GPT) 5. Convert to MBR partition table (CONVERT MBR) 6. Attach disk to guestfish and try using, for example, part-get-disk-guid command on affected disk (or assign disk to a loop...

I''m trying to install SBS 2008 (essentially Windows Server 2008 x64) in an HVM domain. The install starts OK, but when I get to the disk part of the installation it doesn''t detect the disk I have configured. What is the trick for getting the installer to recognise my disk? Here''s my config file: name = "06-sbs2008" memory = 4096 vcpus = 1 builder =

Is there a tool that can tell me the real dos name to long dos name mappings of a file in linux? in windows? I can come close with using md5 sums but if there are copies of files then deleting the wrong one would be a problem area. In linux I normally have the boot partition mounted as vfat so that the default kernel installer can write files like normal. Is there an easy way to know the dos

Hello everyone, Im starting to use Xen on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2, but Im not quite happy yet with the virtual disk management. I still need to do a lot of research about that, but first I want to ask the community about a simple way to handle the guest machine disks. *Is there any way to increase/decrease a guest machine disk after the OS is installed? Can I have a dynamically

I''ve just made my first ever attempt at an Nullsoft installer, so if you want to try it download "Xen PV Drivers 0.9.5.exe" from http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/ The installer should detect the version of windows you are running and install the drivers. At the moment you''ll need to install the shutdown monitor service manually, but you can do that from the start
