I just set one up to be 30GB in size for my XP Pro VMWare instance.  8GB
was
the default when I initially created it and was unable to change it after
the fact so I simply deleted that instance and re-created at 30GB.

I'm still trying to get a good feel for whether I can copy off both the
virtual disk drive and the associated server information onto a network
device and then delete the local copy, thus freeing up the space on the
local drive.

The idea is to create a repository of working servers on the network drive
and copy them onto the local drive as needed.  I'm sure I could use the
network drive as my repository, but that's a lot of extra overhead that I'd
like to avoid.  Instead, I'd like to simply copy in whichever configurations
I need when I need them.

Besides, running off the 15K local drives has to perform better than running
off network disk, no matter how fast your network.
