VMware Server - resize partition and disks

This is a tutorial to resize Virtual HDD of Virtual Machine. I found a post on the Internet. try this!
1) On the Host Machine: stop the Virtual machine that you need to allocate more HDD space to.

2) Run C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe to re-size the vmdk file. This will resize the HDD but not the partition.For example: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server>vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 80Gb -t 1 “C:\Virtual Machines\Viper\Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk”

3) Exit BootIt and restart the virtual machine

.4) On the virtual machine: Download a copy of BootIt NG (Boot It Next Generation). http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/bootitng.zip

5) Run the .exe and create a bootable CD ISO. Make sure you include the VGA drivers in the options!.

6) Copy the ISO to a different machine (eg the Host server) or a network location. For example: C:\BOOTITNG.ISO

7) On the Host machine: set the virtual machine to use the BootIt ISO as the CD Drive. Start the Virtual Machine: hit ESC to bring up the boot manager as VMWare is loading and select to boot off the CD Drive with the ISO loaded

.9) When the BootIt GUI starts, resize the partition.10) Restart the Virtual machine.
