HEY all I have a few vms that I started with 5 gig os drive and I need to grow them. How do I grow the drives? infact how do you grow any drives under fusion?
Review this thread:

2nd How to transfer vm's from fusion to server?
You need to copy the VM bundle from Documents > Virtual Machines to an external USB drive. If your VMDK is monolithic (one file) that is over 4 GB in size, you need to use vmware-vdiskmanager or the GUI wrapper to split it out into 2 GB parts that fit on a FAT32 filesystem. Since you need vmware-vdiskmanager to grow a disk refer to the link above on how to run it.
Note: The above only works if the VM originally came from Server (or was built on Server) and you have not Upgraded the machine in Fusion. If you've built a 100% Fusion machine, then you'll have to use Server 2 (currently in beta), or follow Eric's directions above for using Workstation to 'downgrade' the machine to Server 1.0 format, OR use VMware Converter to export it in a compatible format.
edit: add legacy machine clarifications
