can't resize vm disk

[LouisDoe]

Hi

I am using virtualbox 4.3.34_Ubuntur104062 on Ubuntu. I run a Windows vm that I created a while ago.

I would like to increase the size of the .vdi file but I can't :

Code: Select all

$ vboxmanage modifyvm Clone\ de\ windows\ 7\ good-disk1.vdi --resiz
e 23000
VBoxManage: error: Could not find a registered machine named 'Clone de windows 7 good-disk1.vdi'
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "FindMachine(Bstr(a->argv[0]).raw(), machine.asOutParam())" at line 464 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp

Can you please help me ?

Thanks

It should be "modifyhd", as "modifyvm" is a different command.

Also note that size is absolute, not an increment. Do you really want to resize the disk to be 23000MB?

Finally, you are using the Ubuntu fork of VirtualBox. If you want any more support you must either install the official version, or look for support on the Ubuntu forums.

Yes I want the hd to be 23GB.

Thanks for your help.
