Resize Fixed Size VMDK

$

Im trying to resize a vmhd. I know I have to convert it to a new vmhd to do so. Ive been searching for a little while and got a good idea on how to do it, but something must be wrong in my syntax.

 

Here's what I have.

 

C:\Virtual Machines\VM1>"c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" -r VM1.vmdk -t 2 -s 14GB VM1_reduced.vmdk

 

from what I think the syntax is, convert VM1.vmdk into a fixed disk (-t 2), size 14GB, new name of VMDK

 

but when I run that, it stays the original size which is about 16GB. (Yes there is free space available in the host which is a windows 2003 server OS)

 

Any thoughts?
