Third, why no unoccupied hard disk in Windows XP VM Settings after resize completed ? Once the disk has been expanded then the virtual partition will need to be resized and I like André, like to use GParted Live ISO Image. Suggest you look in the VMware Player Help File! VMware Player 3.x menu > Help > Help Topics > Using Disks and Disk Drives > Virtual Machine Disk Storage > Hard Disk Settings for Virtual Disks Resizing a virtual hard disk via the VMware Player GUI is done using the Expand command from the Utilities menu when selecting the virtual hard disk under the VM's Settings on the Hardware tab None as that is not how a VMware virtual disk gets expanded from the VMware Player GUI! Second, which file is selected to resize ?
vhd can't be used, as it can however it not typical.) vhd file extension is used with Microsoft virtulazition not VMware. No it shouldn't be installed at all to resize a VMware virtual hard disk. First, Is correct to install VHD resizer in host OS Windows 7 and not guest OS Windows XP ?
