I just downloaded vista using vmware. I gave vista a mere 5 gb hard drive partition. I need more! How do I increase the size of the hard drive partition without having to reinstall the OS?
Increasing VMWare OS size?

A quick Google search for "resizing VMWare partition" yielded:

I have tried this once and ran into some problems and ended-up having to reinstall the VMWare instance. So...a word to the wise, if you have any critical data on that VM, back it up before you try extending the partition.

You may also try squeezing it first. My VM went from 8GB down to 3GB.
