If you have Virtual Machine running on Windows Server 2003. To increase the vhd disk size you need a third party tool to expand the partition. This tutorial will explain to you step by step how to increase the disk space of a Virtual Machine.

I'm Using a Windows 10 Hyper-V and running a windows server 2003 R2 virtual machine.

  • ExtPart - Dell Basic Disk Expansion
  • Winrar - Compression tool



7. Download the ExtPart. Create a new folder and name it ExtPart. Compress to C:\Extpart


**Remark - It will have error during the extending disk space for x64 machine if you only run through the Self-Extractor. 




8. Open Command Prompt and type cd\extpart > Enter > extpart c: [disk size in MB]


** Remark - If you found that the error " Unable to connect to c: or it does not exist" there have some workaround you may try.

  • 2 x 1024 = 2048
  • 5 x 1024 = 5120
  • 10 x 1024 = 10240
** Remark - You can run ExtPart multiple times until you fill all the additional disk space you gave to the disk.
