Hi Hasan,

I am trying to install the oracle ERP on machine having Windows7 operating system(RAM - 4GB).
There are 2 partitions C & D on my laptop. C drive is having Windows7 OS.
C drive- total memory space:135 GB, free space: 40GB
D drive- total memory space:315 GB, free space: 311GB

First time, I followed same steps as per videos.
But I got the error(as like disk full) when creating the stage area in Linux server. As a result, C drive got full (no free space).
Then I restored my system to previous date.

Second time, I installed VM virtualbox on C drive exactly as per videos. Linux server virtual disk drive folder was created on D drive by changing path(while installing Linux).
This time, Linux server got installed on D drive and All the stage files were saved in D drive.
But when the oracle ERP installation was started, then the drive C free space started reducing.
So, I guess it might be due to "Oracle ERP getting installed on drive C". As Drive C free space is less, so I stopped the installation.

Please guide, how I can install the Oracle ERP on drive D successfully without effecting the performance. What are the path, folders I need to specify/create during installation. Please suggest the Best solution.

Hoping for early reply.
Many Thanks!

I think your dynamic harddisk of current virtual machine is pointing to C. That is why you are experiencing reduction of space.

In your case I would install VirtualBox on C but would create virtual machine on D.

First create a folder in D where virtual machines would be created.
Start VirtualBox software and navigate to File->Preferences. Change the Default Machine Folder to D:\<Your Folder for Virtual Machines>
This should solve the problem.

Hi Hasan,

You have changed the default VM folder to D
but you also have to delete the current VM and recreate a new one so
that harddisk points to D.
Your current VM is still pointing to C.

Thanks! this solves the problem of installation Drive D. Marking it resolved.

Good to know that the problem is fixed!
