Increasing virtual discs ?

Hi, I created a virtual disk some months ago (2 GB, pre-allocated)

but I nowhere find the option to enlarge the virtual disk ?

Please how can I do that ?

Thanks.

why don't you simply add a second disk ?

if you don't want to do that - read about vmware-vdiskmanager

continuum,

I want to increase my only disk, not add another, since I need to have more space in "c:\program files\"

thus added a second virtual disk is not what I want/need.

I tried using vmware-vdiskmanager, but it only usable if you didn't create any snapshots, I have snapshots,

and this it only exits with an error message that it cannot be used for images that have snapshots.

increasing a disk which has snapshots is extremly advanced stuff

better get rid of the snapshots first - or just add a second disk and mount it as C:\program files
