I wanted to document that I experienced the same issue as described in this post. I was able to rectify the problem by first adding another 1 GB to the hard drive I was trying to expand (using the slider in the VMWare virtual machine/settings/hard disc window). Once that was done, and vmware had expanded the disc, I viewed the drive in "disc management" in windows xp. I still saw the disconnect between the two values in the disk management pane, just as reported by the user who started this thread. But now I also saw a new 1GB unallocated partition at the edge of the drive I was trying to expand. I opened easeus and dragged the edge of the allocated hard drive to the right until it took over all the new unallocated space. Then I applied the changes. On restart my disc was expanded correctly. I am not sure what happened the first try, but suspect something went wrong with the initial disc expansion....
