Is there any way to increase the size of my VM HD image without trashing the existing image? I made the mistake of only making the HD 10G and now I'm running out of space, I want to increse it to say 20G but I don't want to lose what I have and have to reinstall Windows all over again, I read about the image tool kit (or whatever its called) but its not available for OSX so am I really SOL? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Peter
I solved this as follows for FAT32 partitions (dynamic sized): 1) download the following freeware (google to find): g4u - this is ghost for unix and will copy a FAT32 drive presizer - this will will resize the copied drive/partition to use the added space 2) create a new drive/image that is the size that you want 3) add the new drive/image to your VM or create a new VM that has both drives/images 4) boot the g4u cd image to copy the small drive/image to the large drive/image. This takes a while. 5) boot from the presizer floppy image and run presizer on the larger drive/image. This adds the unused space to the parition, making it a copy of the smaller drive, only bigger. 6) arvhive the small .hdd file for safety and transition to the new larger .hdd. I change the names to transisition as I like my primary drive image file to have the same name as the VM. That's it!. It's actually reasonably straight-forward and makes use of freely avaialbe tools. This is the same process that can be used on real PC's to transition from a smaller to a larger hard drive. Matt
M, Thanks, do you think you could elaborate just a little? 1) G4U, I'm using OSx as my host will G4U run? 2) I get the part about creaating a new VM of larger size, obviously blank to start. 3) When yoy say "add" the new drive image to your VM what do you mean? 4) How do I boot the g4u cd iamge? 5) How do I boor from teh presizer image? I'd really appreciate some more deatil. TIA, Peter
