Windows - Enlarging disk size in VMware Fusion.....

I started getting warning messages when working in Windows (XP Pro) that I was running out of disk space. I increased the disk size from 20-40gb and wrongly assumed that the C: drive in Windows would follow suit.
I seem to remember from my old Windows days there was a program called Partition Magic which did this. Is it the same procedure on Windows within a Mac, or is there a different way?
Thanks.....

For future reference: When needing to increase the size of the Windows VM in Fusion, you use the VM tools provided. No need for Partition Magic or whatever it was that you used.

Thanks.
