obabawale / How to expand a .vmdk virtual harddisk
Created August 25, 2017 07:49
1. Change to the oracle virtualbox directory where you can run VBoxManage command
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
2. Clone the .vmdk file to a new .vdi file
VBoxManage clonehd "C:\Users\Somebody\VirtualBox VMs\Windows7\windows7.vmdk" "C:\Users\Somebody\VirtualBox VMs\Windows7\windows7.vdi" --format vdi
3. Run the next command to expand the cloned vdi disk. For instance, to expand to 50GB, do:
VBoxManage modifyhd "C:\Users\Somebody\VirtualBox VMs\Windows7\windows7.vdi" --resize 51200
4. In case you want convert to the .vmdk format, clone the new .vdi disk to .vmdk
