virtual hard disk image file full - help...

Hello,

I am using v3.0 for Mac; build 5582 with a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook with 2GB of memory and Leopard 10.5.2. I am using Parallels to view web sites with IE 6 and IE 7. I am not saving any data to the 10GB external drive that Windows XP is on. Initially the install used about 2 or 3 GB. Today when I tried to use Parallels I got the following message:

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

 

thinking of your VM as if a laptop, would you purchase one with 10 gb drive ?

30 gb is my standard and that is about 50% full after WinXP sp3 and other updates

Thanks Hugh, but that doesn't answer my question. I am not doing anything with that installation other than viewing web sites that I am working on in IE6 and IE 7. I update the antivirus software that I am using (Avast) but I have not even updated windows. How could it have gone from about 3GB to about 9GB and how do I clear some of that space?

 

how to move from one hard drive to another

Hello again,

I just cloned the 10GB hard drive to a 20GB hard drive. How do I tell Parallels to look at the 20GB drive now?

Thanks.

 

Edit disk configuration in Parallels Desktop -<Virtual Machine name>-Edit-Virtual Machine -hard Disk 1 and point to cloned drive.
As for disk usage there is a free software http://windirstat.info/
