Had a look, looks like I may be able to do that but will have to shut then server down first! Will let everyone know how it goes - I'll have to do it out of hours. Thanks everyone!

I could try that ... Ill have a look Cheers.

Ahhh OK out of hours job then... is there anyway I can do this through the VMware VCenter Client ?

If I clone the drive - like a snapshot will it shut the machine down ?

Wouldn't even know where to start, can this be done in ESXi 4 ?

Page file is on another disc.

Does anyone know how I can extend the space on my drive C: - I have A new drive in Disk Manager ready to be used as an extension... where do I go from there ? Thanks all.

Well I was going to expand drive C: by 200 gig, in VMWare I have attached and assigned the storage to the server but the the expand button on drive C: is greyed out so Im guessing it cant be done!

I have 178MB free on Drive C: on my main DC. is it going to cause me any problems if I run Disk Cleanup or CCleaner on that drive ? I have my user profiles stored on an independent drive from C: so it shouldn't effect those but ... is it going to break something ? Thanks all.

ok thanks folks, OEM Versions would be great - A few months ago - said friend paid £189.99 for Office because they need Outlook but this was for her PC not her laptop. There is a sticker yes, BUT it's worn away and the keys cant be quite made out nor can you tell what version the key is for. Currently said friend is running XP Pro! There's quite a few bargains regarding what I need on ebay.... sounds daft I know but some of them are unboxed still sealed - which would mean they havent been activated this wouldnt cause me any problems - would it ?

Where is the best / cheapest place to get Windows 7 (home Premium / Starter etc) Nowadays ? I also need a copy of Office 2010 with Outlook - anyone know anywhere cheap that sells them with single user licenses ? I have a friend that has bought her laptop from her ex employer, ex-company has now gone under. Laptop is now asking for activation with a new key! Any Ideas - its been a long time since I bought single licensing!! Thanks In Advance everyone!

Kompozer or even Notepad++

I'd say A New Install, if you back data up make sure you backup the permissions - or make sure you know what they are supposed to be set too.

Agreed.

RAID10. RAID 10 In RAID 10, often referred to as RAID 1+0 (mirroring and striping), data is written in stripes across primary disks that have been mirrored to the secondary disks

thought about something along those lines... don't like the thought of it. Too many bits too break. Theres no where really except from the bottom to the top to put the straps. Need to lift IT to get the straps under . Im awaiting on some pricing anyway for A lift so hopefully it's cheap!!!

Well I removed, the cards, the fan trays, and the power supplies ... still a heavy monster! Still cant lift it.. the main problem is there is no where to lift it on the chassis! I'll suss it ... thanks for all your help guys!

thought of that too. Last engine hoist I "built" (Cobbled together) was good, but not sure I'd trust it one with a Juniper Not to hold the weight of it whilst we install it into the rack anyway, for lifting though it'd be fine!

I have the images still for Netware but dont know about the license file thats needed upon install. I may of lost that.

well we didn't think it'd be that heavy, we managed to put the IBM in fine (2245kg so heavier) and we assumed because the Juniper is lighter, that we'd be able to get that in also but that isn't the case evidently. I think it's because of the way you have to lift the Juniper, with the IBM it's a man stood either side with the heavy duty handles attached with the Juniper this isnt the case as there are no handles as such!!

Well being an ex-mechanic that was my first thought Dont think I'd fully trust a hoist as such, a lift would be fine but these things are expensive and wouldnt want to drop it using a hoist... It'd be a picture though if you went back through our CCTV and saw us getting it off the van!

Yes, Yes it is!! I will look at HSS It might have the clearance to get the feet / legs under the rack. Definately a fun day coming up putting two of theese buggers into a rack!!

yes it has to be cheap we just spent loads on 2 MX960's!!

that might be a viable option, I will take a look! I wonder if I could get the bottom of the lift under our Rack, that way we can put the MX960 in place so we can get it screwed into the rack.

"fully configured router, up to 350 lb (158.76 kg)" ours is fully configured and integrated just need to lift it to get it into a rack!!! We have previously installed an IBM PureFlex chassis weighing it at a mere 224kg but this had proper handles and was a fairly easy install, the MX960 has 2 at the top and they hurt like hell when you try to lift it, and it is a dead weight!
