No Image Tool to expand HDD with 3.0 - how to?

With 3.0 the Image Tool is no longer provided so how can I increase the size of my HDD? The instructions provided in this thread

do not work for that reason.

Recreate... in Hard Disk options deletes all the HDD contents and so is useless. It is painful not being able to dynamically increase HDDs in Parallels 3.0.

Thanks in advance.

 

This problem is discussing in this thread:

Late in the thread Parallels support says they will add the Image Tool or its capability to an upcoming update. I was lucky: My HDD was already at 30 GB in v. 2, as large as I will ever need it (only using about 7 GB except when processing DVD-size video files).

The above thread describes some workarounds to this problem.

I've not read it in detail, but it looks on point.
