real disk space enlarged but not used

Post by Siegwin »

Hi,
I tried to enlarge the disk space of a VMBox. But the values of the used space is not enlarged and the values used by Windows 7 and the real used and enlarged spaces are not the same. What can I do to set the used space by Windows, VMBox and the real space equal.
199 GB is too small I Need more
Please help me
Regards
Siegwin

The only way to "set used space" is to use the drive. Logical drive size and size of the VDI on the host has very little to do with each other, so expecting them to be the same is an error.

See the FAQ: How to resize a Virtual Drive.
