Using Norton ghost to increase size of a Virtual Hard Drive

In this case we will make a copy using Norton ghost.

Create a new VHD of desired size. Say you want to upgrade from 10GB to 40GB then create the 40GB VHD using Microsoft Virtual PC.

Now attach the new virtual hard drive to your existing virtual pc using VMware Configuration Editor (settings).

Get Norton Ghost and install it in your virtual machine drive. Start Norton ghost. In “Advanced” use the “Clone wizard” for the same.

Select the first drive (the existing smaller HDD) as the source disk and second drive (the newly added bigger VHD) as a destination disk. Ghost will now transfer your existing data to the new VHD.

Shut down the virtual machine when Ghost completes its process of copying. Now using the VMware Configuration Editor, remove the smaller HDD and power on the virtual machine. Do not delete the first VHD till you confirm that the new Virtual Hard Drive is working fine.
