Plain VM Disk Resize

With PD v. 2 I increased the size of my virtual disk a couple of times and then use a WinXp program to resize the partitions. But I haven't done this for some months.

With my disk at 30 GB it seems unlikely I will need to increase it again; mostly I use about 7 GB, but that grows when I deal with DVD size video files.

Now I have PD v. 3 and I can't recall how I did the resize in PD 2. Seems like it was an app file in the /applications/parallels directory. But I don't see an app to do that in PD 3.

Just in case, how did I do it in PD 2 and how can I do it in PD 3? I've searched the pdf manual but likely do not know the correct search phrase.

Wow! According to this thread

http://forums.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=12770&highlight=vm+size

it is not yet possible with PD 3. Support fellow says it will be added in update.

I'm happy mine is now as large as I want it (30 GB in FAT32) -- and that I'm not getting as senile as I was beginning to think :)
