Extending a Virtual PC Harddisk (VHD)
Since I have my new laptop at work (a Core Duo 2) I decided to create my Virtual PC demo environments on my development machine.
I read that Virtual PC 2007 (Beta tho) is optimized for this type of processors and I definitely can confirm this. It is amazingly fast compared to my previous laptop running Virtual PC 2004.
So, I started a new Virtual environment with only 6 GB of Harddisk space :(. Don't ask me why I didn't took more space than that... Soon after installing Windows 2003 R2 and some other stuff I ran out of disk space.
After browsing the web I found this small utility to extend a VHD file which works great even with VPC 2007. Basically, you redefine the size of the VHD which results into unpartitioned space. Then u need to extend the initial disk with the unpartitioned space like explained on the website of XtraLogic.
