if you are running VMware and need to expand the virtual disk size, here is the simply way to do it.

in windows Start – - > Run – -> CMD

cd C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 30Gb “C:\path where your virtual disk is stored\name of your virtual disk.vmdk”

lets break this down.

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x (how large you want the disk to be)Gb “where the virtual disk is located, dont point this to the -flat file”

example (this is exactly what i put in the DOS prompt, including the quotation marks ” ” )

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 99Gb “C:\VMstuff\myDisk.vmdk”
