Hello,

It looks like my virtual disk image is set at 2 Gig.
It is set to dynamically expanding disk image.

While running Windows 2000, it will not expand past 2Gig.

How can I increase the disk image size?

Thanks in advance,
-Mark

You can't. The best you can do is to create another, larger, virtual disk,
and copy all your files across to the new one from the old.

I recommend you create a "d-drive" for extra hard disk space:

That way you can leave the existing installation alone (and back it up
to one DVD)
