Unable to shrink my VM Hard Disk

$

I moved my Windows XP system disk to VMWare Fusion 5 using the following steps

- From Acronis True Image backup image of the operating system disk

- Converted to VMWare Fusion 4.x using the  VMWare conversion tool

- I then transferred the converted disk to my MacBook and opened it in VMWare Fusion 5

- VMWare Fusion upgraded it to version 5

- I have a functioning Windows XP on my MacBook

 

Hard disk size is about 95GB, but shows as 67GB in VMWare

I cleaned up and uninstalled a whole bunch of stuff in the VM to free up disk space.

After cleaning up, I downloaded Patrtition Maguc and resized operating system partition inside Windows XP down to about 55GB.

I now have over 30GB of unallocated space (according to Disk Management in Windows

 

However when I go back to VMWare to edit the settings for the Hard Disk I cannot change it below 95GB. 

It is stuck at 95GB and I cannot make it smaller.

 

I would really like to reclaim the space.  Can somone please offer any suggestion on how to do this?

 

Thanks
