Re-size or re-do Windows Vista VDI

[hussar]

Hello,

Last night I installed Windows Vista 32-bit as a guest OS on my Ubuntu Linux system. Prior to the install, while setting up the amount of storage for the virtual machine, I blithely and naively selected the VirtualBox install wizard's suggested 20GB. As you may suspect, installing Vista and Office 2007 Home and School pretty near filled that up. I think I have about 37MB left. So, the question is, should I try to re-size the vdi's storage or should I just delete the whole thing and start over?

I've seen some posts here on how to re-size a vdi's storage. It seems like a lot of trouble, but I don't know enough about Microsoft's activation policy to be certain that doing a full re-install won't trigger a re-activation. I would be grateful for your advice.

TIA,
hussar


PS - VirtualBox's wizard knows that it is setting up for a Windows Vista install because of the parameters the user sets during the setup process. Why does it suggest what is for Windows Vista such an impossibly small drive size?
