Alternatively, if that doesn't work, does anyone know how to recover
files from a virtual hard drive?
I think you simply want to enlarge the file system to the full
virtual harddisk size, right?
There's that nice gparted live ISO image, from which you can boot
your virtual machine (download the iso (~100MB), set it as the
virtual box's CD drive, change boot order to boot from CD and run
your virtualbox) and then resize the file system to the full
available space.
Opens up like a charm, but it seems that my drive is blocked @ 19.42
gigs (see screen shot) and that I can only fiddle with the swap space.
Is this the right thing to do?
You'll have to move (remove) the swap space so that you can enlarge your
real data partition...
Cheers,
Reinhold
