Given that there isn't anything really of value on it that I can't
easily restore, I'm trying the above to move it to a 6GB. You might want
to wait awhile and see if/how I screw up mine first before messing with
yours :-)

Screw away...I'll wait awhile and get some documentation done for a
customer.

OK, it worked! I now have the 4GB Win2KP running on the 6GB :-) After
follwing the steps, I booted Knoppix (using the VM to boot it), ran
gparted and expanded the drive to 6GB, restarted the VM & booted into
Win2KP. Windows did it's chkdsk thing & popped right in. Now, for the
final test: removing the old 4GB machine so that VB only sees the new
machine. More later :-)


Done. Unregistered the old VM in VB and deleted the old 4.1GB vdi in
/home/<username>/.VirtualBox/VDI
