Disk file size in virtual machine properties does not match actual size in operating system

Dear Fellow VM Users,

Here's my situation and I hope you can help me fix. It's not really a problem, but just annoying. I originally created a .vmdk file at 10GB for our OS partition for our Windows 2003 server guest, but decided it was too small. I used the vmkfstools and diskpart to increase the partition to 15GB, which was successful. Now, everytime I add the file as a new hard drive, I see it as being 10GB on the Hardware tab of the Virtual machine Properties, but 15GB in the data store and inside the OS.

Any ideas on how to fix that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

pperalta
