The following command converts a hard-drive image file in VMWare format (vmdk
) to a Virtual Box hard-drive image file (vdi
):
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" clonehd --format VDI "harddrive.vmdk" "harddrive.vdi"
modifyhd
can be used as parameter to VBoxManage.exe
in order to resize a hard-drive. This example will expand a Virtual Box hard-drive image file (vdi
) to 40GB
. The size after –resize
is given in megabytes:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" modifyhd "harddrive.vdi" --resize 40960
