Automatically Set VM settings based on Host Machine

Hard Drive Space Resizing Thoughts Start OVA as smallest size possible Resize using VBoxManage or clonehd to new file {for fixed drives; such as Windows install - we may need to do this} (if used clonehd, delete old and continue) Create bootable automated gparted disk resizer to make primary partition (windows install) take up 100% of disk VBoxManage to load the file in the GuestOS and power into it; fixing the issue (We configure the bootable gparted to shutdown after finish, then use VBoxManage to tell that when VM shutdown --> unload gparted)

VBoxManage modifyhd --resize VBoxManage clonehd --format VDI --variant Standard

(How I found info about resizing disks https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=50661)

This will be complex, but not impossible. Just so that when the time comes we already know what to do.
