Memory allocation for a guest OS on Vmplayer

Hi All,

I have linux installed on my PC and windows runs on it as a guest OS thru VMplayer. The hard drive space which was originally allocated for guest OS is around 15GB. Please let me know how do I change it to 20GB. I have more than 30 GB of free space available on my hard drive.

Thanks in advance...

As far as I know, VMware Player can't change any hardware settings at all, and VMware Workstation can't change the size of the harddisk too. You could create a new HD, and have Windows mount it in a directory instead of using a drive letter.

Check Parted, that should be able to resize your HD.
