Expanding Partition of VM - How do you do it?

Can someone please send me instructions on expanding the partition size of the VM after it has been migrated. My Vista drive is only 320 GB and has only about 2 GB left. Of course, when you create the VM, the VM is the same size. Is there an easy (free) way to increase the size of the VM partition?

Thanks in advance,

It's a 2 step process.

1) Resize the VM inside of Parallels (in the Config settings for your VM). This grows the partition.
2) Resize the Disk inside of System Admin Tools inside Windows (will be in the Disk Management part). This grows the file system.
 
Thanks. I was able to expand the Virtual HD , but that particular drive was divided into a C drive of 300 GB and a D Recovery partition of around 20 GB. When I expanded the VM of that drive, it expanded the D partition, not the C partition. How do I move the extra space from the D partition to the C partition. Is there a free Win Vista program to do that?
