Instead we’ll use a sweet little utility called Gparted.įirst make sure your Windows XP virtual machine is turned off. If you’re running Windows 7 or higher you can just use the disk management commands in Windows itself to expand the volume, but XP doesn’t have anything like that. Run that with the following command: /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxManage modifyhd DISKNAME.vdi -resize SIZE_in_MB Now we can simply use the command built into VB to resize the disk.
On Mac’s this will usually get you there: cd ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/ The first thing to do is open Terminal and switch to the directory that holds you Virtualbox machines. It’s really very fast and easy, so let’s get this done. I found most of them to be very confusing.
So there is all sorts of posts out there on how to resize a virtualbox disk when you start getting errors that Windows is running out of disk space.
