So I've got our old VMWare image from the old server. The image was sized for the old 36Gb SCSI drives and now resides on 160GB drives, and I need to resize. The D and E drives were dynamic disks that I could resize pretty easily by just expanding the disk through VMWare player and then Computer Management in the VM, but the C: is a Primary Partition and won't let me expand it. Is there a way to expand the virtual Primary partition to use the other 12GB of the VHD or do I have to drop the cash for one of the Partition Magic for Server varieties out there? I hate to spend that much money for something I'm only going to use once as next year we're going to be completely re-vamping our entire network and going from the 2k3 Enterprise VM to a 2k8R2 setup, this year is just a holdover.

I wouldn't care so much about it, but the C drive was only set to 8GB and the last time we tried to do the Windows updates, we actually ran out of room on the drive (seriously, 0K free) and can't upddate things like the SQL server and such because of it. Of course we need to update the SQL server so we can adapt and convert it to a newer version for the server re-vamp next year. Anyways, any ideas guys?

Here's a screenshot of the issue: As you can see, we've only got 742 MB on C which isn't enough to run the Windows updates, much less anything else. Any suggestions guys? EDIT: The converter worked like a champ! Now I have some more general VMWare questions, and I didn't want to start a new thread.

Expanding non-boot basic disks is easy. Here's the trick I've used in the past to expand boot basic disks. Although I've only done this using SANs, it should work for you. Shut down the VM using the c: drive. Take a snapshot of the drive in case something goes wrong. Let another server with the same OS see that drive. Expand the drive using diskpart if it's 2003 or disk management if it is 2008 or later.

Take the drive away from that server. Boot the VM back up. You should now have a larger C: drive. Example of invention.

OK, more questions for y'all VMWare guru's. From my Mac Arcana post: Hey guys, I have a VM for VMWare Player running Snow Leopard that I used to run on my old machine. That machine was a C2D, 4GB RAM, etc, etc.
