Welcome to the forums, Please can you post which VMware product you are using and I will move your post into the appropiate forum,

This particular forum is just for Boston area issues only and notices about where and when the next VMUG (VMware User Groups) meeting will held.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the email. I am using Fusion 1.1.3. I think the problem may be with the size of the VM disk. It is currently configured for 20GB; however I noticed in the "package content" that the file is actually closer to 30GB. I have tried, in vain, to grow the disk size. Can you offer any assistance?

I posted this in the Boston forum b/c I work & live in the Boston area. I apologize if this is incorrect.

Thanks, Jeff

Thanks, I am still confused - I have tried using the VM Converter but can't get past the first screen to locate the server.
