I seem to recall that this issue is a shortcoming in Windows. After using VBoxManage to re-size a .vdi image, it's necessary to make Windows aware of the re-sized disk. This can be done using a tool called Easus Partition Manager. A free version is available here: http://www.partition-tool.com
Thanks -- this appears to be what I need. The problem is that there is no space on the (windows virtual) hard drive in which to install it. And there is not enough space in uninstall a program to free up space. Catch-22. Any windows experts who know how to get around this?
I did the same thing to a linux partition. Download the boot iso for parted from sourceforge and set it as the active cd in your subject-VBox, then boot from it. It will access the virtual-disk and resize/expand the partition, something you cannot do when the partition is *mounted*. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
