Windows resize procedure is time consuming because you first need to do a defrag, then use either the Windows native resize or something like GParted. I always reboot Windows immediately after any resize operation as a sanity check. With this approach, there is no resizing, and no instalation. Just installing Virtual Box (or VMWare), importing the VDI. I've never install Virtualbox on Windows just on Linux.
No you don't. You can use a program called "Partition Magic" it will reboot the system and run whatever needed operation in one step during the boot-up process. No need to manually run different things. Of course any files which located outside the boundaries of the new partition size will need to be moved but I think PM does it in a way that's optimized for speed (and the Windows defrag progam tends to always leave a chunk of data towards the end of the disk) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
