Guest Girish J Bhatia Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 I am sorry if this is the not the right DL but I couldnt find anything else on the Newsgroup about Virtualization so hence this NewsGroup. I am using Virtual PC 2007 and I have a VHD upto 10GB and is almost reaching its limit. Is there a way to increase the existing size of the VHD from 10GB to 20GB since I dont want to add another HDD to the Virtual PC. Any answers or links would be useful. Thank you... Girish
Guest Corey Hynes [MVP] Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Re: How to increase existing space on VHD You can't resize the existing VHD. Your best bet is to create a new VHD of a later size, and then use an imaging program to move the data. In other words, the exact same process you would use to replace a physical disk with a larger one.
