Hallo,
wer kann mir helfen, mein Laufwerk für Windows 7 zu vergrößern.

Ich weiß, dass man mit dem Kommando: VBoxManage modifyhd /home/user/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 7/Windows 7.vdi --resize 61440 normal das Speichervolumen des virtuellen Laufwerk vergrößert.
Aber ich finde in Ubuntu 14.04 kein Windows 7.vdi!
Bei mir ist folgende Installation zu ersehen:
VirtualBox VMs > Windows 7 OEM > Logs > Snapshots > Windows 7 Aktivierung-disk1.vmdk > OEM/Windows 7 OEM.vbox > Windows 7 OEM.vbox-prev
Wer kann mir dazu eine Information oder Hilfe schreiben?
MfG

In VirtualBox the default name of the main VDI in a VM called <vmname> is <vmname>.vdi. So, if you have a VM called "Windows 7" then a VDI file called "Windows 7.vdi" should indeed exist, unless you renamed it. This is true regardless of the host OS, though the folder location can vary depending on the host. You should find your VDI in directory "/home/<username>/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 7/".

Are you new to Linux hosts? Linux has such reliance on the command line that I find it surprising that any seasoned Linux user needs to be instructed on the use of paths and filenames.

I am pretty sure the reason for the fail is due to missing quotes because of spaces in the path/name.

It should look like the following:
VBoxManage modifyhd "/home/user/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 7/Windows 7.vdi" --resize 61440

Be sure to replace user with your actual user name.
