Increasing XP.vdi

[HaohaiZi]

I use this method:

Drag the .vdi file to a terminal window, type VBoxManage modifyhd at the front of the path and --resize (new size) at the end of the path and hit return.

and there are some screen shots (sorry cant attache files directly be couse "You must be a member for 1 days and have 1 posts before you can post urls.":

This is not what mpack was saying. Also, there is no need to post a screenshot, you already posted the error message. Please post the output of the command (as text, not a screenshot):

VBoxManage showhdinfo /Users/haohaizi/VirtualBox\ VMs/Windows\ 7\ 64/NewVirtualDisk1.vdi

This output seems to be from a different disk file, is shows a different user and file path.

This is in the FAQ: you can't resize fixed size drives. Read Howto: resize a virtual drive.

The error message you got is correct. Fixed is not supported. Read the manual and the FAQ.
