My C drive was seriously fragmented with about 20% free space. So I ran the built-in Windows disk defrag utility. To my surprise it doesn't work at all! I tried to defragment multiple times and every time it comes back without doing much work. Then I realized that perhaps it didn't know how to get the job done and needed some help. Here's the list of things I did to help the defragmentor out: Relocate the paging file to a different drive and reboot. If the paging file ( pagefile.sys ) is seriously fragmented, it can't be defragmented, and in turn it blocks other files from being defragmented. If you only have one drive (C:), try to make it smaller or eliminate it entirely for...

You can use the ntfsresize utility on Linux to shrink or expand an NTFS partition (boot, for example, with the DRBL live cd). To shrink an NTFS partition: shrink NTFS (the file system) with ntfsresize. re-create a smaller partition to hold the shrinked file system with FDisk. To expand an NTFS partition: Recreate a partition that's bigger than the previous one. expand NTFS to the full size of the new partition. The following are from excerpts from ntfsresize FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) : ntfsresize help: [tinker:root]:(~)# ntfsresize -h ntfsresize v1.... ntfsresize example session: [tinker:root]:(~)# ntfsresize -s11000M /dev/hd...

From the command line I can start and stop Windows services with NET START service_name and NET STOP service_name . But the NET command does not give a way to find the service name. You need the sc command to get the service name, below are some examples: List all running services: sc query List all services, running or not running (notice the space after =): sc query type= service state= all List all active drivers: sc query type= driver Find information about the "Indexing Service" (requires GNU grep): sc query type= service state= all | grep -i index ... Start the indexing service: sc start CiSvc Stop the indexing service: sc stop CiSvc Check the status of the indexing service: sc query CiSvc

I installed vncserver on my Fedora box and tried to connect to it with vncviewer from Windows XP. I got this error: What could be the problem? These were the steps I took to diagnose it. I just list them here as a reminder. Is Windows firewall blocking the connection? No. It turned out that, unlike ZoneAlarm , the Windows firewall does not block outgoing traffic. It only blocks incoming requests. Is vncserver listening on the right IP address? Yes. netstat showed it's listening on all NICs. netstat -a | grep 5901 tcp 0 0 *:59...
