Add New Hard Drive to BackTrack Virtual Machine

Adding new disk to existing VMWare becomes very helpful especially if we run out of space....
This VM comes in handy... :)

Short Steps:

1. Virtual Machine Settings > Hardware > Add > Hard Disk
2. Create New Virtual Disk > Virtual Disk SCSI > Disk Size > Store Virtual Disk as a Single File
3. Disk File > (You can Name as per convenience...In My case D:\NewDrive.vmdk )
4. Start Virtual Machine
5. # fdisk -l
6.  Message Disk "/dev/sdb" Does not contain a valid partition table --> This is our new Disk 
7. Partition our brand new disk....
8. # fdisk -c /dev/sdb
1. n --> Add New Disk
2. p --> Make Primary Partition
3. We need to select partition number, Ex. 1 , 2 , 3, 4 etc.
4. Keep first and last cylinder as it is ....by pressing Enter
5. p --> To view updated partition table
6. w --> Write partition table
9. Create folder where you want to mount your new drive Ex. /NewDisk
10. # Mount /dev/sdb1 /NewDisk
11. Make Permanent Entry in /etc/fstab
1. Backup your fstab file :  cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bkp 
2. Edit /etc/fstab and add entry :  /dev/sdb1 /NewDisk ext3 defaults 1 

This was short introduction to adding and creating new partition in existing Virtual Machine.
