    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can do all of the steps online.

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello everyone, i've been using vmware for a year but just the essentials, so i don't really know how to "fix" this... here we go..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I created a new virtual machine with Windows 2012 at the beginning with just 120 GB HDD and 4 GB RAM to get started from my own lap top and then to the ESXi 5.2 server that we have, everything went fine even in ESXi server, but finally when i had to expand the size of that VM to 800 GB but nothing happened it just says 800GB of space but it's not true, so the question is: Who knows how to fix this? thanks for any clue or something.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For details this VM is version 9 with 8 GB RAM it suppose to be with 800 GB, the server is ESXi 5.2, and as you can see on the next images i can't extend volume from Disk Management. From "Edit Settings" option from VSphere we have 800 GB too.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your help &lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Rob&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="errorDWH.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48242i01D9F0C56F8FCBE7/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="errorDWH.png" alt="errorDWH.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="errorDWH2.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48243i647380F0ED6F6949/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="errorDWH2.png" alt="errorDWH2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Fillips, that's a great description for future and knowledge but, i don't have a second drive as described in the web, and can't add more space cause i have just that space (800 gb) reserved (and asigned) for that VM, also i already see that i have "800 GB" with no "unallocated" space.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;DON'T delete anything! I saw such an issue a few times and what usually solves it, is to increase the virtual disk another time (e.g. by 1 GB) and then extend the partition again from within the guest OS. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;André&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks for the answer, so if i understand, do i need just increase like 1 gb (or more) from the VSphere? and proceed with the extend of the HDD prob. with Disk Manager?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;should this VM off at the moment of increase or just do that? with or without snapshots (i saw a lot of issues when a snapshot is there)?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks for your help&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;normally i do it online, but to be shure if win 2012 recognize diskspace you should use diskpart to check if win recognize anything.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;cmd -&amp;gt; diskpart -&amp;gt; list disk -&amp;gt; select disk 0 -&amp;gt; list partition&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and give output&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;if not you should be careful&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;in addition i recognized that it is a simple volume and contains a 100mb non ntfs partition and system root might be possible that you cant solve this online because you cant convert it into dynamic disk.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;my solution would be check the diskpart stuff and if you see free space at the end of the simple volume attach the disk to a other vm and try to grow it as a data volume or with a 3rd party disk tool.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;make shure that there is no snapshot AND that you have a valid backup of your data!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
