On my mac it looks something like this: /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxManage modifyhd /Users/abc/VIRTUAL/newxp.vdi --resize 10000 This will resize the newxp.vdi drive to 10Gigs. The size given after --resize is in megabytes. Make sure to give the full path of the vdi, not relative! -Port Forward Podcast There is a much easier way to do this. simply use the “modifyhd” command. On my mac it looks something like this:

It is now April-2011, and even though this post is a bit old - all the instructions work! I'm using a Win7 as a host to a WinXP guest. All I did was: 1) clonehd as instructed 2) Configure the machine to use the \new\ (cloned) HD. 3) Run the machine and download Easeus Partition Master 4) Run partition master, and resize partition from within windows. It doesn't even need to reboot, and takes a snap! Many thanks man! Works great!
