I just bought a 40GB Image Teradata Express 2 months ago. After frequent usage, it’s started to run out of space already. I would like to ask if anyone of you knows how to upgrade my 40GB Image Teradata Express to a 1TB Image Teradata Express. Also, please recommend to me safe and reliable methods in upgrading my 40GB Image Teradata Express. Thanks a bunch to those who can help.

Upgrade 40GB Teradata Express to 1TB
This is an installation Guide of Teradata Express 40GB to 1TB
First:
1. Download the latest version of VMWare Workstation
2. Download Teradata Express 40GB
3. Download Teradata Express 1TB
Tips:
For extra safety if something goes wrong when installing, copy or duplicate the files.
The installation guide:
1.Install VMWare.
VMware-workstation-full-7.1.4-385536
Download from www.vmware.com
Restart PC twice (if you uninstall)
2. Open VMWare
Open a spare copy (i.e. H:virtual-machines40GB Uncompressed1sles10)
—Some people suggest bridged, others suggest NAT network. With Bridged I loose network all together as it sees my Ethernet as down, so I chose NAT. Is this right?
3. Power On the Virtual Machine
Note: The Powerup takes a long time the first time
4. Select SLES10 Operating system
UserID : root
PWD : root
Welcome to your newly built SLES10 OS complete with Teradata!!!
5. Restart the machine. This is done as its a first time startup, get a feel for startup time
Ctrl+R or VM>Power>Restart
6. Select SLES10 Operating system
UserID : root
PWD : root
NB: we need to install VMWare Tools First
7. Select VM>Install VMWare Tools
This will open VMWare Tools File Browser
8. Mount the cdrom
Open Gnome Terminal and type
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
The response should indicate a write-protected disk which is read-only
9. Uncompress the installer to the mounted cd
cd /tmp
tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-8.4.6-385536.tar.gz
This step takes a while as it is a large archive to uncompress
9. Unmount the image and run the VMWare Tools Installer
umount /dev/cdrom
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
10. Accept all default answers.
The VMWare Tools has been installed previously
Press enter to accept each default
There are many defaults (around directories)
Accept when vmware-config-tools.pl,
runs after the installer file finishes running.
11. Networking on the virtual machine will be interrupted
To restore network type in gnome:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start
12. Log out of the root account.
Using the same gnome session
xit
