Ummm, easier way…VMware tools installed on the client. There’s this really neat tab that says “Shrink” Highlight the drive you want to compress, then click “prepare to shrink” then it does it all for you.

Could you give an example of what a correct path might be, I’m trying this but I’m getting a file not found:

./diskTool -k 0Users/myusername/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional-SCSI_0-0.vmdk

Right now I want to throttle you. This article just killed my VM and my Mac.

When I create a VM I always choose a big HD size i.e. 100Gb but don’t let it reserve that space. That way you don’t end up with a machine that one day is capped for disk space (happened to me too many times). Back in the day we created VMs with a 20GB drive thinking that would never get exceeded. Now I build them 100GB. When you disk zero it tries to write the whole f***king 100GB and if you dont have that on the Host then bye bye disk space.

Annyed at you but more at myself for not forseeing it. I fucking hate VM’s somedays.

I tried the “manual” procedure in a Windows 2000 Pro VM in VMware 1.1.3 and I got an error running the zeroing utility.
Using the built-in shrinking utility (after defragmenting) I was able to reduce the VM bundle size from 2 704 873 255 bytes to 952 248 277 bytes. I did a “clean” installation of Windows 2000 Pro and then installed WinRAR, eTrend (and updated the signature) and applied SP4 (all from a CD).

Thanks for sharing ideas about different plugins, Amazon etc. I am making a site myself, too and it was nice to see some important aspects in a nutshell.

Right now I making some basics (login and forms). You might find this link useful - http://blog.andyamiri.com/2008/05/ajax-form-validation-for-rails.html I think it is better to have error messages only as fallbacks and do checks realtime with Ajax. It is good usability to prevent users from making errors, just as you have implemented the info boxes when setting focus on form fields.

Humm. This doesn’t seem to do anything on mine. I enter the command, and I get the prompt immediately.

I believe this solution is only for dynamic disks, which I regret not creating in the first place. When i converted other laptop to a Virtual Machine disk to use in Fusion (and that was SWEET btw!), I selected the Allocate all space now option - which is suppose to increase performance, but not being dynamic.

Now, I am sitting on a 93 GB vmdk - that only has 23 GB in use.

I’ll try searching a bit more about to find out how to convert it to a dynamic disk. Right now, the only option I have found instructs you to use a Windows machine - which I do not have for a bit. Grrr.

Pretty much knew the rails stuff and guessed what you would use before I scrolled down, but your design elements (buttons, icons, template) were first class. Great reference.

Pssst… I like the logo, kinda 80’s preppie
