[Solved] Extend partition in Windows XP

Post by rbmisc »

I have added more hard drive to the XP vdi and it shows up in the Disk Manager for XP, but when I do a right click on the active partition, I do not see Extend Volume to include the new unallocated partition into the active one. Has anyone else had this problem and has a fix for it? I would appreciate it.

You would use GParted, but there are caveats. I suggest that you read FAQ: How to resize a virtual drive.
