HDD Size on Bootcamp Conversion to VM

$

Hello,

 

I have VMWare Fusion 5.  My bootcamp partition was running out of HDD space, so I converted it to a VM, rather than accessing Bootcamp via Fusion.  Now when I check the HDD size in Fusion it says I have a 698.64 GB disk!  When I open the VM and login to Windows I then get a message saying it is running low on hard disk space.

 

Via Finder I can see that it is really only 40 GB, so it is not hogging my entiire HDD, however I cannot resize it down to say 50 GB to overcome the space warning in Windows.  It appears as a single 40 GB file in Finder.

 

FYI, it is an IDE disk, where I cannot also set it to Pre-allocate disk space nor can I split it into 2 GB files (which would be great so only the relevant files get backed up via Time Machine!).

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

John
