    Hello Everyone,

    I have installed parallels on 6 Macbook Pros, and have used one Windows XP image on all of them successfully. However, on one of the Macs, after using the Parallels Image Tool to increase the Hard Drive space, the increase is not being recognized when I look at the C: drive's properties on the windows XP Virtual machine.

    On all of the other Macbooks I am able to change the image size to a number like 200gigs, and then log into Windows XP and the C: Drive will show that is has 200gigs.

    I would prefer not to reuse that image on this particular computer, because I had to install some additional CAD software that is a pain to install.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    Go to computer management by right click on My Computer and clicking on Manage.
    In the computer management window click on disk managment and see if you have any unallocated space, if you have any then add it to the C: drive

    What is see on the volume at the top of my screen is a 31G drive. However when I look at the section below it I can see DISK 0 is 43G. So, why are the two not in synch?
    Cheers
