VMtoolkit VHD Resizer

I just tried the potentially very useful VHD Resize app. v1.0.42.0

It appeared to create a perfect copy of a Win311 VHD, increasing the
size from 200 to 300Mb.

When I ran it, it fell over with a "Missing Operating System" error on
initial boot up.

Glad I created a copy first.

Incidentally I wasn't able to update the VHD in situ. It went through in
a flash and reported a successful outcome, but on bootup the disk size
was still 200Mb.
regards

I believe that the VHD Resizer works like this:
1) Create a blank VHD file set to a bigger size
2) Copy all the data from teh source disk partition to the target
3) Now you have a bigger drive but with a same-size partition as on
the source drive plus extra non-used empty space.

The next step is to get a different tool and use it to change the
partition to use the complete space of the new drive.
Not really a resizer in my book.
