Resize VM Issues

[rkovelman]

Hello,

I am on Windows 10 and cannot resize my VM to be larger. Any ideas?

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage modifyhd "C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Virtual_Box_VMs\Windows 7\Windows 7.vbox" --resize 70000
VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not get the storage format of the medium 'C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Virtual_Box_VMs\Windows 7\Windows 7.vbox' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component MediumWrap, interface IMedium, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDevType, enmAccessMode, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 178 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp

Is this because I am on 10? Or is this because of a bug in the latest Virtualbox? Version 5.0.14 r105127

Thank you

You have chosen the wrong file. *.vbox is a control file and not the actual virtual drive. Look for a file that is really big. Usually an *.vdi

Wow thank you, I hit tab in command not even realizing the extension. I feel dumb now...
