I am running VMWare Fusion 6.0.4 on OS X 10.10.3. I have Windows 7 as the guest OS. Originally I had the hard drive set to 60GB. It was running out of space so I increased it to 100GB. However, Windows 7 still thinks there is only 60GB on the C: drive. Fusion thinks there is 100, on the Windows side, in disk management, Disk0 is listed as 100GB, but the C: volume is 60GB and the option to extend it is greyed out. How do I get my 40GB to be recognized?

So you expanded it using VMWare right? Does the disk partition tool see the unallocated space?– RamhoundJun 1, 2015 at 16:40

Yes, I adjusted it with VMware. In the Disk Management tool, the bottom section listing the physical disks lists Disk0 as 100GB. But, the list of volumes lists C: as having a capacity of 60GB. The extend option is unavailable.– CheeZe5Jun 1, 2015 at 17:14

At this point, I have created a new vm, an have the old one archived. I am still interested if there is a non-destructive way to reallocate it.– CheeZe5Jun 8, 2015 at 12:06

There is lots of useful information in this VMWare Knowledge Base Article:

I checked that out and went through all of the non-destructive tasks without success.– CheeZe5Jun 5, 2015 at 12:31
