Re: Increase the size of an existing Windows partition

I knew it... You're resizing the base image, not your current state of affairs. What you need to do it to resize your last snapshot. As it says in the linked thread above: Note 3: In 4.3.0 the devs fixed a bug which had previously made it impossible to resize a snapshot. Since then it is possible, ...
