    [SOLVED] Linux host with windows guest problem

    Ok so I work in a network department for a large educational organisation.

    I've been instructed to setup up SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 on a server.
    Then create 4 virutal machines with windows 2008. The windows machines have to be created using a template disk image.

    The problem is that now these Window machines have a C: drive that is 40GB in size. The Virtual Windows File and Satillite Server are going to need more space.

    Now the Linux server has 547GB free.

    How can I get this free space available for the two Virtual Windows Servers????

    Other additional information you might need to know:
    The disk images are stored at /var/lib/xen/images/*Servername*/disk0
    There are some config files stored at /etc/xen/vm/servername.xml

    I am so new to linux it's not even funny so please treat me as the noob I am.

    Also any suggestion is appreciated even if you don't think my boss will want me to config it in that way. I'm really after anything you've got because the project just isn't moving forward.

    Many thanks

    I've managed to sovle it.
    By browsing to the location of the disk image and opening a terminal. I then created another disk by typing: "dd if=/dev/zero of=disk1 bs=1G count=200"
    It basicailly created a file filled with 0's

    Then i typed "cat disk1>>disk0"

    This attached the 200G disk1 file to the end of disk0
