Increase size of VHD (Virtua lServer 2005 R2) file with OS installed in it
Hi,
I have Virtual Server 2005 R2 running a WIndows 2003 server Virtual Machine with a single VHD file of 10GB. Due to the need of installing additional software in it, those 10GB are noit enough now. Thus, I need to increase the size of the VHD file. I have tried the following tool:
http://www.xtralogic.com/products_vhd_utility.shtml
but it onle allows for size increase of data VHD files, i.e. without a running OS in them.
Is there a way to accomplish the fiel increase using some tool like the one I mentioned, or a similar one?
If possible, I would not like to go for a complete reinstall of the VM, or through a backup-create new vm with additional disk space-restore process...
Any help?
Regards,
Marco.
