Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / August 2005Is that it?
People, I ran Eraser on my hard disk image to zero out unused space and then tried to run the VPC utility for reclaiming zeroed out space. It gets about 80% of the way through the process and then quits due to insufficient space. I've already gotten rid of unneeded apps, files, folders, etc. To get so far and then nothing. I feel like I just came in 4th in an olympic event. Am I just out of luck? Frustrated, John You need as much disk space on the volume in which your virtual machine's hard drive image resides in order to complete a zero space reclamation operation, just in case there was no space to reclaim. It just means that you ran out of disk space when Virtual PC was trying to make the 2nd disk image that removed the zeroed out data. The only way to fix this is to make more space available on the that volume. Or... you need a larger volume to move the virtual machine disk image to. > People, > I ran Eraser on my hard disk image to zero out unused space and then [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Frustrated, > John -- -- tonza > You need as much disk space on the volume in which your > virtual machine's hard drive image resides in order to [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > -- > -- tonza Tony, Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately it is the answer I assumed. My hard disk isn't that big (by today's standards) and the partition where VPC resides is already my largest at 15 G. I guess I was hoping for some trick to defy the laws of physics. John |
