VMWare guest OS is not using full hard drive space

I'm wondering if you can give me some insight on how to figure this out. I've recently virtualized a w2k3 server that had 10GB C:\ drive size. Once I finished virtualizing it, I expanded the disk to 20GB for C:\ and within guest OS (W2K3) computer management settings, you can see it recognizes as 20GB partition C:. But for some reason, if I opened windows explorer and see the properties of C:\, it will only show total size of 10GB.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

EDIT: This is how I expanded my disk. I used VMWare converter, used the option within VMWare converter to expand my C:\ partition. After finishing virtualizing to ESXi server, I didn't touch it in W2k3. No manual expansion of disk required in w2k3, it just reads it as 20GB while Windows Explorer shows 10GB still.

EDIT: this is exactly my problem according to vmware kb.http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1005890&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=74780861&stateId=0%200%2080507132

Anyone ever experienced this before?
