David Merrick and I ran into an issue today growing a windows 2003 WMWare disk partition running on VMWare workstation. Apparently, you cannot use the GUI tools in Workstation to increase the size of vmdx files. However, you *can* use the command line:
vmware-vdiskmanager -x 12GB “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.vmdk”
Where 12GB is the new size of the disk. Make sure you do this from the VMWare Workstation install directory.
Check out David's blog post on this for more details. After that, we used PMagic to inflate the partition to the new drive size.
