XP Guest - DISK FULL error

notpc · Post by **notpc** » 30. Jan 2008, 18:38

My XP guest system will not run - report disk full, although the VDI manager reports that the disk is only using 4GB of a maximum 10GB.

What is your host OS and your host file system?

Sorry - should have mentioned this. Host OS is also XP, host file system is FAT32.

...which explains my problem, doesn't it?

Yes. 4 GB max File Size. Better Choice is NTFS.

.. - simple once you spot the problem or are steered towards it. I am using HyperOs with six different versions of XP. It works well, but I chose FAT32 three years ago for interoperability with Windows ME which is now long gone. Time to upgrade all my partitions.

Thanks to Frank for the pointer!
