Ouch, It's possible but not nice. Obviously the first step is to back up your existing file before you try any of this .... First step is you need to enlarge the file itself. Use dd to to this for example dd if=/dev/zero of=myImage.img seek=***** bs=1M count=1 The seek value should be big enough to seek past the current data so we don't overwrite anything - so for example make it a 2gb past the end of the file. You now have a larger sparse file. At this point you have a larger disk but your partition table is out of whack. So you need to use a tool like parted/gparted to change the partition table. You can also use fdisk if you're feeling brave. These tools won't work directly on a file, so you'll need to create a block device for that image, you can use kpartx for this, see the link below http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6#head-9c5408e750e8184aece3efe822be0ef6dd1871cd When you've enlarged the partition to the correct size then you'll need to resize the ntfs file system - for this you'll need ntfsresize. http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html Good luck, don't forget the backup !
