  • 1.  Old Windows 2000 (!) guest

    Posted May 30, 2016 12:08 PM

    I have an old Windows 2000 Server guest VM.

    I need to enlarge a 200 GB virtual HD.

    I enlarged the virtual HD but I am unable to enalrge the partition, ad diskpart does not allow resizing a basic partition.

    Can anybody suggest any alternate solution?

    Regards

    Hi Marius,

    on Windows 2000 and 2003 servers the Dell ExtPart utility can be used to extend a basic disk.

    You can download it here: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R64398

    Hi ,

    Attach the .vmdk to Windows 2008 VM and expend disk.
