Windows will always think the C: drive is 100GB, but if you only have 10GB of data on it, the virtual disk will physically only be taking up 10GB on your Mac. For example, you could set the max size to 100GB. Windows will always think that the drive is that size, but on your Mac, the virtual disk will only be using as much space as you have data. VMWare will ask you for the maximum size. One of the nice things about virtual disks (over partitions) is that they start small and grow. (You can add other virtual disk if you need a D: drive, etc) Click to expand.If you follow the VMWare Fusion defaults, you'll create a "virtual disk" (instead of a partition) for your Windows machine.Ī virtual disk is simply a file on your Mac that your Windows machine treats as its C: drive.
