Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe modifymedium E:\vms\vmname\nameofmyvdifile.vdi --resize 200000
Problem: Now the vdi is still almost full! The guest OS and Virtualbox both say it is 195 GB in size and the guest OS further claims that only 285 MB are free. The size of the vdi is 204 GB according to the host.
But if I check the sizes of files and folders on that drive it amounts to only 48 GB!
Failed attempts: Full CHKDSK two times, loads of online searches and checking on tutorials on recovering NTFS and VDI.
So far, no clue how in that could have happend and how I could try to fix it.
If anyone might be able to help me, I'd appreciate it.
PS: I try to avoid downtime, cause that VM is used in a network and runs on old hardware. That's why I haven't tried to clone the vdi yet.
