  1. Virtual disk


    Hello there,

    Recently I came to know that we can increase the hard disk storage up to 64 TB no matter how much is our real disk space. I followed the procedure and got 2 TB. I didn`t get how that is possible? Does it really mean that now my hard disk storage is 2.5 TB? 500 GB is the real space.

    I think there must be some limitations. Can someone explain how it is possible when physically the hard disk is designed to a lesser capacity?

    :)

  4. Virtual disk

    Virtual Disk service is unavailable (0x8078009C).

    Kumar, the laptop is not connected to a domain network. I tried both methods suggested and the results are the same. Method 2 returned no errors. The harddrive is not SSD. Under Windows 7, I never experienced a problem with creating a System Image nor
    any errors with the Virtual Disk Service. After Windows 10 migration, I've not been able to create a System Image nor use Disk Management (the latter returns the message "Unable to connect to Virtual Disk Service). Suggestions kindly appreciated.
