Could not power on device: no space left on device ?

Hi all,
Has anyone encountered this message (att) when creating a VM ?
I 've created an .img file on the W2K3/Starwind server of 10Gb.
Added it to the storage via VI client. Ok
Created a VM with 10GB HD. Got just over 1Gb of free space back !!!!!
Tried several other lower HD sizes.
At the end 6GB HD gave me a 5.39GB HD free space.
Even with an .img file of 12Gb no more then 5.39Gb of free space is available !!!
Is this a know 'feature' of the free version ????
Thanx Jaap
