Virtual disk extension

Question

Hi everyone, I use Virtual PC and work with a virtual hard disk (* .vhd), which is only 8.2 GB in size. I would like to increase the size to 16-20 GB. I see VHD compaction options, but nothing to expand on. It is configured for "dynamic expansion", but I am installing some kind of software and does not seem to resize it to a larger space.

Many thanks.
