igul222 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 How to resize the deadmoo virtual hard disk to something greater than 6GB? I know it is possible with a native install, but from VMWare? Is there any way to do it that doesn't involve copying the image to a "real" partition/disk?

dr choc Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Okay to start this of i want to get your question clear you want to increase the size of the 10.4.1 but without having to first install it on a real partition correct? well i would guess you would have to follow these steps (before anything make a new partition physical partition type=w/e it doesnt matter make the partition size to whatever you want the 10.4.1 sizze to be) first you need vmware workstation and open the tiger .vmx image located in the tiger-x86 folder open that w/ vmware second don tboot it up just yet when in the start where u see all the devices click add devices and add a hardrive select down to select a physical hard drive add the hardrive and click through warning messages now boot off the tiger-x86 image and enter it and open disk utility (apps>utilities>disk utility) select the partition you made earlier and erase it format mac os extended (journaled) name it w/e and erase okay now go to the restore tab at the top and in source drag the tiger image (the one your using in vmware) and the destination is the partition you erased and restore it then in that same partition the on eyou erased then restored select first aid and select reapair disk permissions and then you nned to the chain0 thing im not gonna go into that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15500-resize-vmware-file/#findComment-99541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
