Problem expanding virtual disk

$
0
0

I'm running a VMWare Win XP image on an Win XP host.

I used the following command to expand my virtual disk

vmware-vdiskmanager -x 7GB "Windows XP Professional.vmdk"

 

Things seemed to be going along ok and I got the following notice:

  Grow: 100% done.

The old geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 7281/16/63

The new geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 14563/16/63

Disk expansion completed successfully.

 

However - when I try to run my image, I get notice that a disk read error occurred. What did I do wrong? Why was the disk corrupted?

Luckily I backed up the vmdk file, what should I do to make things work?
