4/6 Stupid Lack of Space

Basically ive spent all morning and early afternoon trying to increase my virtual machine size... funny how if we set things up initially we can save ourselves hours of wasted time when time is important. IF i get time to write about all of this i will... any ways.

After looking at many posts on how to increase the virtual machine space, i decided there must be a easier way? I came accross an application by VMware called "VMware Converter 3.0.3". This tool allows you to do many things, but mainly you can convert a virtual machine and save it in a new location as a new machine.

I downloaded the tool, but then my comp wouldnt let me install it due to a "error 1327. invalid drive H:\". I was like noooo another problem? Had already spent so long trying to figuer this out. So off to Google i went. I found this post, which said to check my registry and where some files are pointing. So i had a look at the items it told me too, and alas! something was pointing to this stupid H drive. So changed it i did.


Next i moved onto figuring out how to use this new tool. I had to download the sysprep files for server 2003 SP1 for the converter to use. I created a new "convert" and pointed it to my current virtual machine, said where to locate the new one and set the amount of space i wanted on the new machine. I changed it from 8GB to 15GB. Should be enough. So yeah.. spent 6 hours tearing my hair out over that one, no good, then spent 3 hours on my project management assignment.

Carry on with my project, I have to fix my job and newJob forms and logic. I will then start on the map page which will list jobs, so i need to figure out a way for the users to select the records they want to map, shouldnt be a problem, then i'll start on the basics of getting the geocodes for those addresses and putting them into a new array that i will then pass to maybe another class? to do the logic and sorting on.

SO MUCH FOR THAT IDEA. Sigh... 13 hours of project time and i still havent started on mapping. Kinda disapointed i wasted 6 hours on one problem i didnt fully forsee as being a major problem. Anyways, i'm excausted and tired for some reason... (lol). Shall carry on in the morning before project meeting at 1.30... also need to finish couple of bits and pieces for my project management assignment due in tomorow.
