Hi,
I have imported a VM and by default it has 4G which is way to low so I changed it to 200G buy when I run df -k, it does not show as anything changed?
Am I doing anything wrong or missing a step?
Check VM - is there 200GB for HardDisk?
Actually, when you increase HardDisk size, filesystem is not expanded automatically.
fdisk /dev/sda will show you 200GB disk with 4GB partition.

Correct .... what is the easist way to add this available space to the existing partitions?
I suppose you have linux VM.
Easiest way is to create 196GB partition and mount it for ex. to /spare.
But if you want to add space to existing partition it depends on what filesystem are using, is there LVM, is partition with data las partition on disk etc.

Anton,
Thank you.
I have Ubuntu 8.04 and I added the patition, formated it and mounted now I want to make sure that it gets mounted everytime it boots but when I look into the fstab it has some UUIDnumbers instead of the regular devices.
Where do I find the UUID of the partition I have created and would this soleve my problem?
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

Thanks but the disk I created does not exist there ....?
what are the consequences?
Unfortunately I'm Windows admin, not Ubuntu. Can't help you anymore.
Now you have classic linux problem, I'm sure there are tons of manuals on linux forums.
