Hi, I have an issue. I have already resize the partition using Gparted. Now how can i resize the actual image size in virtual manager? I do not see any option for me to change the size of the allocated hard disk. Please advise. Thanks! On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 6:54 PM, Poh Yong Hwang <yongsan at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Great!
