    Did you set up an expanding drive image when you did the original installation?

    Memory is the RAM stuff. Disk is storage. The two are different. Memory will come in sizes like 512 megabytes, and disks will come in sizes like 80 gigabytes.

    If you search, there are helpful instructions on how to increase the size of a static partition. However, in the nicest possible, with your level of understanding, it will be easier, and much quicker to just start again. With the whole creating a virtual disk(partition) and installing windowoes thing.
