The Idiot Proof Guide for Windows-host, *-guest setup. (Ubuntu in my case, and should work for any host)
- Make sure you’re working with a VDI, not a VDMK (if not, File>Virtual Media Manager right-click, Copy)
- Drop into a command line (on windows, press Win+R, type ‘cmd’) and navigate to the Virtualbox directory (won’t need to do this on *nix)
- Execute
VBoxManage path_to_your.vdi --resize new_size_in_MB - Download UBCD and mount it as a DVD to your VM
- Boot into the live DVD (F12 -> c on Oracle Boot Screen)
- Select ‘Parted Magic’, and open GParted once it boots
- Manipulate and resize to your hearts content
- Reboot and enjoy the space!
