How to change fixed size VDI with modifyhd command in Windows?

I cloned the vmdk file into vdi.
However, when using 

VBoxManage.exe modifyhd cloned.vdi --resize 102400

I received the error message

VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not find file for the medium 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\cloned.vdi' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80bb0004), component MediumWrap, interface IMedium, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDevType, enmAccessMode, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 179 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp

How should I proceed?

Best Answer

You should do the following instead:

VBoxManage.exe modifyhd "%UserProfile%\VirtualBox VMs\<VM name>\<VM name>.vdi" --resize 102400
  • %UserProfile% is C:\Users\<name>
  • Replace <VM name> with the name of your virtual machine.
