Use GParted to Reconfigure the Partitions

Simply increasing the size of the virtual disk does not cause the amount of usable space within the VM to increase.  The partitions within the virtual disk need to be reconfigured to use all of the available space.  This cannot be done from the OS of the image stored on the virtual disk.  You must boot the VM using a live CD containing a partition reconfiguration utility.  The GParted Live CD is free and easy to use.

• With the VM powered off, select the Console tab
• Power on the VM and boot to the CD drive.Use GParted to increase
• Quickly click inside the Console pane
• Press Esc to display the Boot Menu
• Select CD-ROM Drive

The GParted menu should appear.
