    Under Parallels 3 I had two disk drives in WinXP
    1) winxp.hdd 104.86 GB on disk Parallels VM hard disk image
    2) disk2.hdd 78.65 GB on disk Parallels VM hard disk image

    After upgrading to Parallels 5, I have a larger pvm file
    XP.pvm 183.56 GB on disk Parallels virtual machine

    But when I run the virtual machine, there is only one 100 Gb drive.
    From XP disk management, C: 97.6 GB
    Under virtual machine configuration, there is one disk drive
    winxp.hdd 97.6 GB


    Where is my missing drive and its contents?

    thanks

    Maybe it's just not bound to your VM? VM configuration > hardware. Check whether both your hard disks are connected. If not, just add a 2nd Hard Disk and use the 2nd hard disk file that should sit in your .pvm package.
