Growing an Existing Emulated Drive

Disk expansion enables you to expand your Microsoft Windows or Linux hard drive to gain more space.

To use newly added emulated drive space, you must either create a new partition and format a new file system within it or expand an already existing partition into the newly created space. You must complete one of these two options so that the operating system recognizes the newly added space.

You then format your new space by using a third-party software or appropriate Microsoft Windows utility, as described at the end of the next procedure.
