Limit when trying to add 2nd virtual hard drive
Posted on 2007-11-19
I have a virtual machine (Win2003 Server) that I need to add a second hard drive to for users data. The problem is I need this drive to be 400GB and when trying to add this drive it limits me to 256gb. How do I create a larger drive?
