Can you enlarge your current disk?

Hello tnt,

Please refer the link below. This may be of a little help. However can you please be more clear on what exactly are you trying to do?

What did not happen? Did nothing happen in the OS? Did nothing happen in vCenter/ESX? If it is the OS you will probably need to rescan the disks and than increase disk size with a tool like diskpart / extpart

For example, let's say my C: is 20 GB. I want to expand it to 30 GB.

If you expand virtual HDD you should then expand your partition. Dell ExtPart is very useful in this case.

dell extpart or gparted is your best option to resize the C:\ partition. Diskpart can't cope with it,
