In this case, we are going to proceed with this tutorial with Windows 10 as the host machine and Ubuntu 20.04 as a virtualized machine in VirtualBox. After some research, I discovered that it wasn't so easy as I thought, so today I will share with all of you how to increase the size of a virtual drive in a virtual box. As I had a lot of important stuff in there, I refused to create a new virtual machine with a bigger drive but instead, research how to make the current Virtual Drive bigger.
This was my bad from the beginning as I thought I had 100GB but instead, I created a virtual drive of only 10GB. In the last days, while installing a bunch of packages and applications, the following warning appeared: Volume 1 System Rese NTFS Simple 350 MB Healthy SystemĭISKPART> madskier Posts: 1 Joined: 20.Usually, for the Ubuntu tutorials that are written on the blog, I test them first on Virtual Machines so I can verify if they will work on the server as well.

Usually the extra space shows up and then you can click "Extend volume", but if Windows doesn't see the extra space, it grays out the 'Extend Volume' option, which is the case I have here. I know about using Computer Management -> Disk Management and extending the volume, as I have done it Many times before. I have also tried re-installing the guest additions. I deleted my snapshots before attempting the resize. Everything indicates it worked on the VirtualBox level (see status, resize and status outputs below), BUT in Windows the new space doesn't show up (See diskpart output below).
