    Using the image tool, I increased the disk image to 15Gig from 10Gig. The Hard Disk 1 within recourses reflects this change, but when I initiate a session the C drive space still shows 10Gig? What am I doing wrong or missing? :confused: Help please!

    Non-enlarging disk images

    Have a Mac Pro 2.66 2GB and fortunately have not experienced KPs or network trouble

    I too set up an expanding disk image of 8 GB initially. I used image tools to increase to 15 GB and have restarted the VM and Mac OS X but when I reboot into windows xp, my "c" drive still says 8 GB.

    Any thoughts??

    Thanks

    Partition size

    It does increase the size of your hard disk partition but only adds unused space.

    I used partition magic 7.0 to add the unused space to my windows partition.

    Huh?:confused:

    DISKPART is free download from Microsoft, and it works, you need to read :eek: the steps in the thread totally.

    You can pay for Partition Magic or you can do it free with DISKPART

    Already own partition magic so it cost me nothing and requires only several simple clicks of the mouse.
