extending Windows 7 primary disk partition

$

Hi,

 

I'm running Vsphere 4.1, and I have VM that is a Windows 7 with just one disk as its primary partition.

I want to extend the size of that partition, but after turn off the VM and edit its configuration the disk's size is grayered.

So, I tried to run the VM Converter, in order to generate a new VM with a bigger disk, but neither this worked because there was not option to modify that size.

 

I also was looking how to do it using command line, here:

 

VMware KB: Extending partitions in Windows using DiskPart

 

but my problem is I found several vmdk files, and I don't know what is the right to use the command vmkfstools. These are those files:


-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28504559616 Feb 26 16:55 Testw764-000001-delta.vmdk

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root         368 Feb 26 17:18 Testw764-000001.vmdk

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34359738368 Jan 27 17:46 Testw764-flat.vmdk

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root         495 Feb 26 17:18 Testw764.vmdk

 

The VM had defined an snapshot, but now I deleted it.

 

Thank you for your help.
