Stick a gparted LiveCD in the machine (or boot from an image on your drive by |
| 17 |
pointing the virtual CDROM device to it) and extend the end of the MSWindows |
| 18 |
partition to fill in the size of the virtual disk you just enlarged. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
When you reboot into MSWindows (detach the LiveCD first) and then allow |
| 21 |
MSWindows to run and complete chkdsk - or your data could be lost. |
