Look at the screen shot below. See where it says normal? Does yours say fixed? Do you have/use snapshots?
You view this in the storage section of the guest.

Yes my screen looks like yours and it does say normal. I do have snap shots however I never use it.
It is the guest machine that is showing the hard drive at 15G. The host is showing the drive where VB is located as 50G.

I did, however It said that I could use Disk Management to change the size. The problem is that in Virtual Windows there is nothing to expand to...it is only showing 15G
I went to the command prompt within the guest computer and typed in" VBoxManage modifyhd --resize 49480" nothing happened. One thing I was confused about was when it said to use "<absolute path including the name and extension>" Not sure what that is in this case.

Thank you for your help Perryg, however this is getting much more complicated than my knowledge. I thought something like this would be a somewhat straight forward solution. I really appreciate you taking the time to help!
