Virtual disk not expanding

[saverman]

I increased my virtual disk from 60GB to 100GB and I read that when doing this the disk in my virtual Windows 7 would increase automatically. However, this has not been the case. If I go to Computer Management and look at my disk under Storage I can see that the disk is in face larger but I can't expand it to use all of the space. The "Expand" alternative in the drop down is disabled. Any input on what to do? I'm not even certain if this is a problem related to Fusion or Windows...

Not all Windows disks are expandable, this is for sure a Windows problem.

You might have better luck using some tool like gparted.

You were right. I just needed another partitioning software. Windows couldn't handle it on it's own.
