When I created my virtual disk drive under Virtual PC 2007, I specified
a maximum size of 16,384 MB. That is no longer large enough. When I try
to run a certain program update, I run out of disk space.
The Virtual PC Wizard only gives me the options to convert it to a
fixed-size virtual hard disk or compact it (which I have just done). I
want to keep it as a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk, but with a
larger maximum size. How can I do that? Thanks!

Seems an unreliable solution, though, so make sure you save a copy of
your old .vhd file.
