Hello,
I can't seem to get the VboxManage modifyhd --resize command to work on my Desktop and my Laptop.
Both are Windows7 Host running Ubuntu 12 as VM's. On this laptop here I have a fixed 8G VDI file.
Below I show my HD info and then the resize command and result.
Would appreciate any direction. I looked at several modifyhd posts here but don't see anything relevant to my issue.
P.S. I'm running 4.3.2 Vbox

Thanks,
Marvin

You can't resize fixed drives. Why did you decide to use fixed over the default dynamic?
