  You must go into Windows on the virtual machine and use the disk management tools to extend the volume. It is a two stage process where you first set the VM, then the second step is to adjust the windows.

• Increase the size of the virtual disk.

  I just installed Windows virtual PC on Windows 7 64 bit and I try to install a program of 6 GB.  He said that there is not enough memory.
  The size of the virtual disk in less than 2 GB and I can't find any way to increase this size.  I tried to create a second virtual disk with more memory, but the same error comes back.  Is there a way I can increase the size of the primary virtual disk?

• How can I increase the size of my disk 'C' for one of my other drives on the same hard drive

  I have 5 drives on my hard drive and I would like to increase the size of my C drive, the extra cost may be charged on my G drive, either by the way, my OS is xp.

  Thanks David

  You can't do this with the tools built into Windows XP, but you can use third-party disk partitioning tools. Although these tools are generally safe, it is always a good idea to make backups before using an any of them.

  Here are a few options in alphabetical order:

  Acronis Disk Director ($50)
  EASEUS Partition Manager free (free)
  O & O Partition Manager 3 ($50)

• Increase the size of the disk in question VM

  Hi all

  I would like to increase the size of a virtual disk in one of my virtual machines. The guest is Windows 2008 Standard. The disc, I want to express is currently 25GB. I would like to add an additional 50 GB. I increased the size of 75 GB using the vcenter server. When I go on the computer, virtual disk management, I was able to extend the drive and it shows as 75 GB, but under 'My computer', it shows that only 25 GB.

  There is plenty of space on the LUN. There is no photos of the virtual machine. The disk is thick. All properties show the disk as 75 GB.

  I don't really know where to go from here.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello.

  I've seen this before.  I usually add another 1 GB for the VMDK and repeat the process of extension in Windows to fix.  Not sure why it goes well.

  Good luck!

• Is there a way to increase the size of the virtual hard disk? in the VM? ESXI 4.1

  HelloW to all.

  I created VM with the size of the hard drive of 80 GB and now I want to increase the size of the 80 GB to 150 GB drive does not add whit extra 70 GB partition but to increase the patitionn of 80 GB.

  Is there a way to increase the size of 150 GB of the virtual hard disk? in the VM? ESXI 4.1

  Thanks in advance.

  If the guest operating system is windows, then follow below process-

  Scenario-1 his drive is not the boot partition.

  1. click on the settings of the virtual machine

  2. Select the hard drive to increase and give the size you want (don't forget that you should have a free space available on the data store).

  3. go to disk to the virtual machine management, and then rescan disk (you will see the unused space)

  4. open the cmd/command prompt, then run diskpart by using the diskpart command

  5 then... the drive... After this list give the command "select disk 1" (1 is the disk you want to expand)

  6. After selecting the disk, type extend (extend order will extend the drive)

  7. exit diskpart.

  Scenario-2 If the drive is the boot partition.

  1. power of the virtual machine. (go on change settings of ==> click on the drive you want to extend ==> copy the path of the disc)

  2. go to any other test VM and add disk--> disk existing use ==> give the drive path that you want to extend ==> Assistant to finish.

  3. Select the hard drive to increase and give the size you want (don't forget that you should have a free space available on the data store).

  4. select disk of the virtual machine management, and then rescan disk (you will see the unused space)

  5. open / cmd command prompt, then run diskpart by using the diskpart command

  6. then... the drive... After this list give the command "select disk 1" (1 is the disk you want to expand)

  7. After selecting the disk, type extend (extend order will extend the drive)

  8 exit diskpart.

  9. go to change the setting of this test VM and select the hard drive... ==> click on remove virtual machine. (do not drive delete)

• Increase the size of virtual hard disk to a virtual computer with snapshots

  Is it possible to increase the size of a virtual hard disk on a virtual machine that has snapshots on this subject?  I can use VMware converter to increase the size of the disk, but who commits snapshots during the conversion-

  Thank you

  As everybody said that it is not a good idea to increase the space for a VM with a snapshot.   The snapshot files are all related originally vmdk and when you change this vmdk he breaks the link.

  A particular reason that you cannot commit the snapshot before adding the space.

• Cannot increase the size of the VM disk

  Hello

  I have VM, that has layout size of 20 GB - thick and it grayed out to to increase, see below

  Post edited by: vmroyale to remove the Word attachment

  >... I have now the increase in size as a separate partition...

  It should appear as a adjacent unused space on the disk that you want to resize.

  >... what I owe another utility to make for example a disk drive c right?

  Open disk management, right-click on the c: drive (assuming that it is the only player you have) and select "Extend Volume... ». Then follow the steps in the "Wizard of Volume stretch ' to increase the size of your c: partition.

• Increase the size of the disk in the guest OS

  I have a virtual machine that is only 10 GB in size of the disk.

  I allocated more space SAN to the VM, but I need allow the guests to see the extra space.

  What is the best way to achieve this?

  I'm under vSphere... and I have more than 1 VM I want change, running win2k and win2k3

  I have a virtual machine that is only 10 GB in size of the disk.

  I allocated more space SAN to the VM, but I need allow the guests to see the extra space.

  I guess this means you increased the size of the virtual disk in the virtual machine settings.

  After having developed the virtual disk, the new size should be reflected in Windows Disk Manager.

  What is the best way to achieve this?

  To do this the same way as you would on a physical system. Depending on what partition you want to expand, you can use the integrated Windows "diskpart" or any other tool of the 3 - rd party like extpart, gparted, Partition Magic...

• How to increase the size of the disk partition VMware Studio.

  Hello

  I installed the VMWare Studio unit on ESX 4.0 host system. I've been running more disk space for builds, so I wanted to provide more space for the SCSI in ESX, Edit-settings of the Virtual Appliance. I increased the size to 256 GB SCSI disk.

  I then went to the guest VMWare Studio system, and the device/dev/sda5 displays always only 30 GB, and 12 GB is exhausted. How can I make the Guest OS from VMWare Studio unit see the increase in size?

  I tried to use "parted", but this fails because/dev/sda5 is mounted. "' I can't umount/dev/sda5 as/dev/sda5" is ongoing. " I am aware of the 1004047 of the Knowledge Base article, but it is of no use, because is not specifically for VMWare Studio unit.

  Thank you.

  If you have a lot of disk space on the ESX Server, yes creating and adding a new virtual disk (vmdk) to the VM Studio is the way to go. Mount the new drive for the Studio colleagues OS (Ubuntu), and the key is/opt/vmware/www/build simple installation on the new disk to create the new space drive for Studio use. Don't forget to back up your existing data in this directory first. See http://communities.vmware.com/thread/244715?tstart=0 for the similar explanation. Let us know how it goes.

• Increase the size of the hard disk on the Image of VI

  Hello

  Is anyway to increase the size of the HD on an image that I have already downloaded on my server ESXi (3.5)? I tried to power on to the bottom of the image, and change the size of the hard drive under settings, but this makes no difference.

  I am familiar with how to change the size of HD on VMWare Workstation images. It is similar to this or is there an easier way to do it?

  This image is an application server and I foolishly deleted the original of my laptop, so it's the only copy I have. So is there a way I can increase the size of HD on this image easily?

  Thank you.

  You have a backup of the virtual machine that you can go back?  It looks like something I messed up with the partitions during the expansion.

  I would try attaching the C drive of this virtual machine to another virtual machine and it turn on.  See if you can use diskpart to extend the volume or if he thinks he is already extended.

  For future use, with Windows Server 2008, you do not need assistance VM or even need to power off the virtual machine itself to develop the hard drive.  You can simply extend the space using the VI Client, and Windows Server 2008 has features to extend hard drive built in.  Goto, right-click Disk Management and select Rescan disks to see the new size of the drive.  Then right-click on the current partition and select "Extend Volume" and a short wizard guides you through the rest.  You can do it without interruption.

• Increase the size of virtual disk Volume

  If initially, I create a RAID10 array with four drives and install ESX3i, then later add two drives to increase the size of the RAID10 array, I can use the extra space for VMS ESX3i without erasing the data?

  Thank you!

  Bob HHSU

  RAID10 on RAID5 due to performance. I 4x500Gb then RAID10 gives me about 1 TB usable, that should be enough space for a couple of years for my application

  Okay, maybe that's true, but you are only working with a few axes.  RAID 10 in maybe 20 disks RAID 10 is perhaps better performance, but not big thing with only 2 pins.  If you don't have the space, very well.  I hope it works for you.

  In addition, the machine has six spans and so I have the ability to add more than two readers and increase the table to about 1.5 TB. My dilemma is now maybe I should add plus two other readers from the beginning if ESX cannot cultivate virtual disks.

  OK, then if you have disks now, why don't put you in now.  Even if you can grow the disk later, why re-work.  This seems really odd.  Do everything now and do it.  If you do not have to do it later.

  VM the VMFS, correct? If I have too much space allocated to a virtual computer and he needs for another, I can reduce the allocation?

  Yes, but again, it is more work.  Start small.  It is easier to add than SUBTRACT.  Start with only 50 GB, 100 GB.  OS file systems growth is much easier, the fight must convert a copy of the SAME virtual machine, which requires even more work...

  Why IE have to be so complicated? That is the problem. When I increase the size of the IE text, my content extends beyond the fixed width centered page. It's really ugly! This isn't a problem in other browsers. So... What am I missing?

• Increase the size of the disk in VMWare Workstation - VM Workstation 6.5.1

  The host is a QuadCore computer with 32-bit XP Prof. SP2

  The guest is a Windows 2008 x 64 Enterprise Edition.

  I use VM preinstalled 6.5.1 build - 126130.  I originally created a virtual hard drive of 30 GB to start with and after loading all my software finished consuming 29 GB.  I deleted all snapshots and shrunk the VHD.  Defragemented - I could not recover any space by following the steps above.

  The next step, I have increased the size of 40 GB using the following command:

  VMware-vdiskmanager - x 40 GB "F:\VM\Windows2008_SQL2005_MOSS2007_64bit.vmdk".

  Now, I noticed an increase as part of the Virtual Machine to 40 GB, but the virtual machine itself shows that the space used is 29 GB and I have 1 GB left.  When I try to install more software on virtual, I get an error message that there is not enough space to move forward.

  Is there something that I'm missing or do I need a fix / patch that I'm missing?

  Thanks for your time.

  You must resize the file inside the VM system.

  DiskPart should do the trick.
