I use Virtualbox on my Linux box that runs a virtual WinXP guest, primarily only used for the Outlook client as we use Exchange for email.

Thinking I was going to have to re-do the entire XP installation to get a bigger disk, I’ve really been putting it off . However today, I found a howto guide that expands it without losing any data. This worked great, zero issues. Here’s a link to that howto. Uses gparted, pretty slick..
