Hi,

Im not all clued up with this stuff, im using vmWare on Mac and now im stuck with a 60G VM which i want to expand. The commands you’re suggesting, should i have my vmWare Machine library loaded or should I have the machine I want to expand loaded and am I to use terminal to execute these commands?

thank you in advance.

Worked perfectly! Windows XP guest on VMware Fusion 3.1.3. Actually, since I had VMware tools installed in the VM, I didn’t need to install the LSI drivers – VMware set the new disk up as Buslogic and it worked fine.
