How can I reclaim this space ?

Hi,

I had a problem with some database running in a W2K3 virtual machine under
W2K8 Hyper-V. The database kept growing until it was 15 GB when it should
have been around 1 GB.

I had to expand the dynamic VHD to 18 GB to store the database. Now the
database bug is solved and it is back to 500 MB.

At the moment in the VM on Disk 0 (Dynamic) I have 3 GB "Unallocated" plus
around 9 GB free space on C: (NTFS). How can I reclaim this space ? The
"Compact" option of Hyper-V "Edit Disk" runs for 3-4 minutes but does
nothing.

Thanks for any suggestions.
