Hi,
I am using "vmware-vdiskmanager" to convert a virtual disk from growable to preallocated. I have had enough of the defrags and poor disk i/o.
To do this I have copied the vmwaredisk.vmdk file of 8.5 GB to D:\Dump, because spaces in (sub)Folder and File names are causing other problems (the D partition has 189 GB FREE space) and want the new file vmwaredisk_2.vmdk to be created in the same folder by putting in Command Prompt:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager -r D:\Dump\vmwaredisk.vmdk -t 2 D:\Dump\vmwaredisk_2.vmdk
Now I keep getting the same error message below (and I know I should have more than enough FREE space). Why is it telling me that the disk is full?
Creating disk 'D:\Dump\VMwareDisk_2.vmdk'
Failed to convert disk: An error occurred while writing a file; the disk is full
. Data has not been saved. Free some space and try again (0xd00000008).
Please your help because I really don't know what to do anymore!
Many thanks in advance,
Erik
