Expand a vhd
in [Virtual PC]

From: JackSpratt on 7 Apr 2010 04:56 No doubt this has been asked a thousand times. Easy way to increase the size of a vhd? I seem to have underestimated how quickly I would use up the size of my win2.8k virtual. Did a quick Google and found talk of 3rd party tools and stuff. Does it take that?
From: Steve Jain on 7 Apr 2010 13:15 Yes. YOu can't expand a VHD beyond its maximum size without 3rd party tools or imaging it to a larger VHD "JackSpratt" wrote: > No doubt this has been asked a thousand times. > Easy way to increase the size of a vhd? > I seem to have underestimated how quickly I would use up the size of my > win2.8k virtual. > > Did a quick Google and found talk of 3rd party tools and stuff. > Does it take that? > . >
From: RCan on 7 Apr 2010 16:45 yes you can :-) 1. you do have an Hyper-V system available which can expand a VHD. 2. Have an Win7/R2 system available and use diskpart for expand the maximum size of a VHD -> SELECT VDISK FILE="c:\test\test.vhd" -> EXPAND VDISK MAXIMUM=100 (MB) Regards Ramazan "Steve Jain" <essjae(a)community.nospam> wrote in message news:DE9662DD-5ACC-400E-BCCA-53696CE60C08(a)microsoft.com... > Yes.

From: Steve Jain on 7 Apr 2010 18:26 One thing to keep in mind is the maximum limit for a VHD for VPC is 127GB. Don't expand it beyond that.

Now my guest OS has 28GB of unallocated space.
