Virtual disk resize

My Windows Vista virtual machine keeps running out of disk space so I had to resize it. Run the following command to expand.

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 10GB "e:\V
irtual Machines\Windows 7\Windows 7.vmdk"
Grow: 100% done.
Disk expansion completed successfully.

WARNING: If the virtual disk is partitioned, you must use a third-party
utility in the virtual machine to expand the size of the
partitions. For more information, see:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation>
