What the hell... :smileyangry:

I used the same syntax as told by continuum above, with specifying other drive for new.vmdk because disk space was running low on C:\ (host OS) .

It said something like invalid configuration file of Windows XP Professional or maybe something like can't read configuration file (I don't remember correctly, I just know that I hadn't touched anything and my VM was working perfectly without any errors or warnings) and in the below line it said converting :  x%, with x increasing gradually.

When conversion reached 100% it said "Conversion successfully completed". And then on the other drive new.vmdk was there but... AGAIN 15 GB???. According to Andre, the new one should have a size of 9 GB (the space occupied by the guest OS in Virtual machine). Well never mind, I replaced it with the original one, thinking maybe the disk type had changed, but... Workstation said "The file specified is not a virtual disk" . :smileyshocked: Smiley Sad. I think now I have to re-create the disk and re-install Windows XP Pro. Smiley Sad Any suggestions that maybe there on how I can fix this without re-installing?
