virtual Machine Allocate all disk space now

While creating virtual Machine i forgot to "Tick" - Allocate all disk space now.

I have already setted up machine, and cloned several from the one, and made changes. :(

So i was looking for any option so that i could change my machine (thin disk province) to change to pre-allocated where it will be equal to dedicated size.

using: VMWARE workstation 7.1.4 created disk without allocating disk size now need fixed allocated disk size.

any help would be highly appreciated.

To sum up: how to change growable disk to pre-allocated in vmware workstation.

Solution 
  • vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 2 targetDisk.vmdk

    as an administrator while using cmd from windows..

    lets say, windows, 7 and we have to open cmd as administrator and cd to the particular location where vmware is installed and run this command,
