Hi, Another option is to just add another disk of whatever size you want. There are many blank images available on the net all ready. I added a 10G.vdk like so (assuming you are using scsi adapters, should be adaptable to ide): scsi0:1.present = "TRUE" scsi0:1.fileName = "10G.vmdk"
Then I mounted that disk, moved some things over to it and carried on.
