I have a VM that I originally gave 10 GB to (using VMware workstation, and Ubuntu 11.10 is the guest OS).
I now wish to add to that. I have seen the option to expand the disk size, but all that does is create a new "partition" that Ubuntu can see.
Is there a way to expand the size of the primary partition that the guest OS is using?
NOTE: I have seen something regarding doing this for a regular Ubunbu OS that requires a boot disk. Is there a way that I can apply that to this VM case?
Using Windows 7 64-bit as the host OS
EDIT: To be clear, I am trying to resize the boot partition.
Edit 2: GParted's resize option is greyed out.
