Reduce VMDK size on Workstation VM

I'm not sure why VMware Converter could not adjust the disk size, this is normally the failproof method of reducing the disk size.

You cannot reduce the physical virtual disk size inside the VM using disk manager.

You could create a new virtual disk of the correct size, and then use a clone tool, such as Clonezilla, to clone from source old disk, to new reduce sized disk.

Maybe I chose the wrong steps.

I convert the vm. It displays the 3 disks, but I can't adjust the size. Can u send me instructions?

When Converter presents you the Summary, before conversion Edit Data to Copy Options, and then select the Drop Down Box, to change the size, and enter the required size

 

the only option I see is to maintain size, and i cant change it.

Am I using a different version?

Click the Basic Link so it Changes it Advanced

Thansk, but if you see my screen shot above, that is exactly what I chose. No drop down appears on Capacity Size.

What version do u use?

Mine is VMWare Standalone Client  v4.01

v5.0 download here

Thanks. Downloading now. I did toggle between Basic and Advanced. Honestly, the options are not presented! :) Fixed at Maintain Size

Are you using pre-allocated, or non-preallocated, split 2GB disks?

pre-allocated

Sorted. v 5.0 allows it. Thanks for your patience.
