Extending Virtual PC Image Files (e.g: .vhd files)

How can we extend our virtual pc's. I was searcing a way and found a 3 party software that named VhdResizer (if you want to download this, you click to these).

For use program, You basicly install your computer with next next next... and then, start program and then click browse button for open your wanted to extend .vhd file.

Everything is ok at this point but actually your .vhd file is still at old capacity. Following steps is explaining for resolution:

You define your extended .vhd file as secondary disk on any different Virtual PC. Then, Start this VPC, and after started the windows, you start a command promt and write following commands:

1. CMD --> Enter
2. Diskpart --> Enter
3. List Volume
4. Select Volume (Select you want to extend volume number)
5. extent --> Enter
6. Commit changes before shuted down VPC

And at the last section you can use this extended .vhd file properly.
