[SOLVED] Resize IDE0 of Windows Server 2012

[jompsi]

Hi all,

I have a problem with resizing a disk from a virtual Windows Server 2012.
This server has two disks. One IDE0, 30 GB, where the OS is installed and a virtio0, 160 GB, which is used for data. I never had problems with resizing a virtio disk. I just added 60 GB to the virtio0 two days ago.
Now I need to add 10 GB to IDE0. I added this 10 GB with the gui. On the web gui I see, that the harddisk size changed from 30 GB to 40 GB.
When I log in to the windows server and try to add the 10 GB, they are not visible in the disk manager. When I resize a virtio disk the new disk space is visible as unallocated disk space.
I restarted the VM, no success. I booted with gparted live cd, but the 10 GB are nowhere. I cant find the 10 GB and therefor I cant add it.

I am using Proxmox 2.3.

stop the VM and start again (a restart is not suitable here)
