If you are using the VMware Virtual Disk Manager included in GSX Server, VMware Server, Workstation, or ACE to expand the size of a virtual disk, and the virtual disk is partitioned, you will need to use a third-party utility to resize the expanded partitions. This utility would be run from inside the guest operating system.
Examples of third-party utilities include:
