VMware Extend Disk

There comes a time when the size of your VM disk isnt enough for your purposes. Here is how extend the partition.

In the VM Settings locate the HD on the right side select Expand.

Set the size of the HD you would like to expand it to and click Expand.

Now I have been toying with the next part quite a bit. Within the VM you can create a new HD and use it as secondary space. If you would perefer to extend the primary partition then grab a copy of Gparted.

VMware likes to starts its host operation system pretty fast so we will need to edit the settings:
(Wordpad worked for me)
Close the VM and open the vmx-file in an editor.
Add this line
bios.bootDelay = "5000"
save file and start the VM.

Mount the CD or ISO to boot from. Select your CD drive and load Gparted. GP is a pretty simple program to use so follow the menus once you have it loaded.

Good luck!
