If you want to split your current virtual disk file into multiple files, use one of the following commands:
1. For a growable virtual disk, use the following command to split into 2 GB:
vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r old.vmdk -t 1 new.vmdkor
2. For a preallocated virtual disk, use the following command to split in 2 GB:
vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r old.vmdk -t 3 new.vmdk

Great, thanks for the above. I have a 20GB pre-allocated virtual disk that I want to split so I can easily copy to my external FAT32 formatted USB drive and this should do just that.

I had the same problem that Ben had.
Thank you very much!!!
Beautiful! I was having issues copying larger files from one drive to another (nothing like a failure 97% of the way through a 160GB file and having to start over). Now I can split this up and improve the copy process.
Very useful, Thank you.

Thank you! worked like a charm. I split the disk and did not have to re-build the VM.
