I've been messing around a lot with virtual technologies recently. Partly due to the virtualization technology that we have been using at work, but mostly because its cool and every once in a while I need to run something in Windows and I don't want to reboot on my dual boot laptop.

I ran out of room on my 8gb windows vmware partition. I decided to double the capacity. Easy enough. I've done this before. I'll just run the vmware command:

vmware-vdiskmanager Windows\ XP\ Professional.vmdk -x 16Gb 

Then I will just boot up from the gparted-clonezilla livecd and expand the NTFS partition.
