hard drive .vdi size increase

Post by DaGunster »

Host: Compaq Dual core, 4gb ram, 1.25 terrabyte in drive space, Vista Home Premium SP1
Guest: Windows XP.

I have created TestXP.vdi virtual hard drive and a virtual machine - works great. Set it at 10gb.

Problem: I need to increase the size of the VDI to at least 20gb.

I've poured through the docs and look at 'vboxmanage' cmd line operations but nothing I see can increase the hard drive space.

I've successfully cloned drives with the cmd line - but cannot increase the size.

How do I increae the size of the VDI virtual hard disk?

Thx.

Go here CloneVDI Tool and read the topic then see if this will help you. Be sure to read the release note once you install it.
