I have two scenarios where I need to resize the C drive of a Windows 2008 R2 VM. I know this question has been asked a lot, and I have searched/read lots of posts. But I want to confirm my understanding.
Scenario #1) W2K8 R2, single vmdk, single C drive. (although it does contain that 100MB system reserved partition). basic disk.
Scenario #2) W2K8 R2, single vmdk, contains a C and D drive. basic disk.
I know in previous versions (windows 2003), you could shut it down, resize the vmdk, attach it to another windows VM, then increase the C (now called something else) drive using diskpart. But I thought in Windows 2008 you could do that on the fly. But that doesn't seem to work.
I also know the vm converter should work (in both scenarios), but I was hoping to avoid that.
Thanks
