I suspect that you may already have slightly over-committed the available space due to the fact that the SSD size will be using decimal units (where K = 1000) and the size you set for the vdisk is binary units (where K = 1024). When using vdisks a little spare space is always a good idea as you can start getting strange errors in a VM if all available space on the underlying file system is used. Quote Link to comment
black296tuuk Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I was able to fix the greyed out "extend partition" in Windows 10 by downloading a free third party partition tool for windows. Odd that Windows disk manager cant address the issue but a free tool can. 1 Quote Link to comment
BrainGameFactory Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I don't know if i am doing something wrong but no method is working for me. Running "qemu-img resize vdisk1.img +5G" or change the Disk size by clicking the VM name. Here is a short Video: Unraid Vdisk NoChange.mp4 Quote Link to comment

This broke my VM :.( Quote Link to comment

xlucero1 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Right click My PC> Manage. On the left drop down Storage> Disk Management> Right click the Unallocated space. And it give you option to run "New Simple Volume Wizard". It'll ask you the size you want to format it to (NTFS is default). And run. Restart. I was able to finish installing drivers You can also change the default installation location from you main 😄 drive to your new partition: https://winbuzzer.com/2020/07/01/how-to-change-the-default-app-install-location-in-windows-10-xcxwbt/ Edited August 1, 2022 by xlucero1 Quote Link to comment
Kilrah Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) This makes a 2nd separate partition instead of increasing the size of the existing one, might not always be practical. Edited July 28, 2022 by Kilrah Quote Link to comment
Eddie Seelke Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 For those that are increasing a Windows 10/11 VM, you do not need to download a 3rd party partition utility. Windows comes with a built-in utility called diskpart that will delete the Recovery partition for you. It is not difficult to use. Open a command prompt as Administrator. Type diskpart and press Enter. Find the disk number for your OS, usually disk 0 with the command list disk. You will see at least one disk listed. Make sure to select the correct disk. Assuming your OS is Disk 0, enter command select disk 0. Now, we need to list the partitions. Enter the command list part. If you used the default setup when installing Windows you likely have 4 partitions and the Recovery partition is Partition 4. So select it with the command select partition 4. Now, to delete use the command delete partition override. Lastly, right-click the Start menu, and select Disk Management. You should be able to Extend Volume by right-clicking on the C partition. Follow the wizard to complete. 2 2 Quote Link to comment
