Odd results when trying to enlarge disk space - help please

When I originally created my Windows Vista VM with Fusion, I allocated 20G of disk space. I now want to enlarge that to 30G. I have followed the steps in the instructions and Fusion reports that I have 30G of space devoted to the VM. However, when I am inside Vista and check on the size of the C drive, it continues to report 20G. How do I get Vista to use the additional 10G of space that I have allocated?

Thanks,

Danny

Have you extended the volume in Vista's Disk Manager? (Click on Start menu, right-click on "Computer", click on "Manage", then click on "Disk Management". Right-click on your volume, then click on "Extend Volume", etc.)
