Windows VM doesn't recognize additional disk allocation

I'm running Win XP Home in a VM using Fusion v2.0.5 on a MacBook Pro (OS X v10.5.7). I had originally allocated 20 GB to the VM, but now I need a bit more space. I shut down the VM, allocated another 5 GB, and Fusion rebuilt the VM. I then started Win XP, and it still reports 20 GB. What gives? I can see the VM files on the OS X side have been increased, and Fusion reports the larger disk size (25 GB) in its Hard Disk Settings dialog. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Scott

I used EASUES, following the instructions at the link you posted, and it worked well. Thank you so much!
