Resize a VHD

Unread post by AmintaMister »

Is it possible to resize a VHD? I've tried with "IDE 0-1 Top 300 DOS Games.vhd", it is correctly mounted in Windows 11, but if I try to resize it with the GUI it says it can't figure out a minimum and maximum size and with DISKPART it says that this type of file system is not supported.

Maybe there is an alternative for Linux / MacOS?

Thanks!

what about creating a new bootable VHD and then copy the files over to the new VHD from the old one?

it seems expanding is less of an issue as shrinking, from a quick google i saw that vhdx files support compacting but that isn't the same as resizing.(shrinking in this matter)
