Disk volume not extending

Question

C: volume on a virtual disk within a Server 2008 R2 virtual machine won't extend correctly.

Under Disk Management, Disk 0 is showing 119.9 GB NTFS for the C: volume, however C: under Windows Explorer only shows it as 100 GB.

I have tried extending the volume under both Disk Management and using DISKPART from the command line. DISKPART shows error "DiskPart has encountered an error: The device does not recognize the command. See the System Event Log for more information."

`See the System Event Log for more information.` - What's in the event log? — ItsMidas, Jul 29 '16 at 07:20
I cannot see any events being logged in Event Viewer when running 'extend filesystem'. — Ash, Aug 01 '16 at 05:24

There is no chance to extend the volume of c using diskpart. U should use third party software. https://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-express

I tested EaseUS Partition Master due its support of Windows Server OS's. Unfortunately it reports the same as Disk Management - disk capacity is 119 GB. C:\ under Windows Explorer still reports as being 100 GB. – Ash Aug 01 '16 at 05:45
