Hello,
I'm trying to install Windows to test them out (like XP, Vista, 2000, versions I haven't experienced or very little) but I'm getting the error
"Host system reported disk full. VM execution is suspended. You can resume after freeing some space.
Error ID: DevAHCI_DISKFULL
Severity: Non-Fatal Error"
Thanks to some forums and checking, I noticed that the virtual machine stops working as soon as the actual size of the hard disk reaches 4 GB.
Apparently, FAT hard disks have a limit of 4 GB. So I need to set the disks to NTFS.
But I don't know how to do that.
On Windows XP and earlier, I did say in the setup "Format to NTFS" but it still hangs.
And on the later versions (Vista to 10), it doesn't ask anything about that, and the installation doesn't work because the system files alone exceed 4 GB.
So how can I resolve this issue primarily for versions Vista to 10?
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 73.0.3683.86

Are you sure that your actual operating system is installed on a hard drive formatted in NTFS?
When you create a VM, do not select "Fixed size," choose "Dynamic" instead and set it to 50GB of space or more (There won't actually be 50GB used from your hard drive; dynamic means it makes the VM think it has 50GB, but in reality, it only uses what the VM actually needs as space)

All my VMs use a disk size that is "dynamically allocated."
I also checked on a Windows XP VM, the hard drive is also formatted in NTFS but it still gets stuck at 4 GB.
