Well, using the Windows Explorer would be a way to see the actual size of your dynamic vdi. Another way would be to use the Media Manager (Host-D).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Re: Current size of dynamically allocated?
There isn't a "right" size for a virtual disk, it's just what the guest OS has written so far, and the .vdi file on your host that represents that virtual disk will eventually expand to the size you picked for the virtual disk when you created it, even if the guest OS has not filled up the disk in the guest yet.
