    I have Parallels desktop on a Mac. My guest OS is Windows XP SP 2. I initially started with an 8 GB hdd that was expanding. I filled up that space and ran out of disk space and nothing happened to enlarge it. I used the ImageTools to increase the hdd size to 15 GB. The VM properties show the HD1 being 15000 in size but when I boot up windows it still shows the size as 8 GB. I've converted the expand hdd to a plain and though it showed up in Mac OS X as a 15 GB size file, it still booted up in windows as an 8 GB. I converted it back to expandable but it still only sees 8 GB in windows.

    What am I missing? Is there a step I missed? Help please!!
