Need a bigger system disk

Vbox v4.1.14 on linux
Win XP sp3 guest

Windows has done it to me again: The system disk is full. I have set compression on, defragged it, deleted all but the most essential apps. It is not enough.

The current size is 16GB. Is there a way to make a byte-by-byte, sector-by-sector copy of the system disk image to another one that is larger, say, 32 or 64 GB? So that after the copy operation, the new larger drive can be booted?

Install Wine, then download and run CloneVDI from the sticky in "Windows Hosts". Read the release notes that come with it.
