Hi All,

I have recently installed Windows XP Pro as the Guest. During the configuration, I have set the disk space to be 8.0GB. Now I need it to be larger. How can I do that ?

Thanks and Regards,

Michael Chia

One way to do this is documented in Frequently asked questions in the VMware Workstation forum, another way is to use VMware Converter.

Hi All,

I have successfully increase the HDD capacity of my virtual machine using VMware Converter. There seems to be no problem.
