Virtual Box resize Hard drive problem

[frog46]

Hello.

So I installed windows 7 in VBox, I made the virtual HDD 10GB I then found out that I need more space so I followed this tut and made it 15GB.

My problem is this when I boot into the virtual machine and look at my HDD it still says 10GB.
When I look at the Info in Virtual Box manager it says the HDD is 15GB.

So I am confused in one place it says it's 10GB and the other place it says it's 15GB?

Any help would be awesome!


Cheers Nic

That tutorial was not bad, but it left out the final step: You need to tell your OS to use the extra space! On Windows 7 you need to expand the partition into the extra space, and here is some info to do that.
