    Hello JuanPerez.
    If you have a Windows Virtual machine based on BootCamp partition , it is not possible to increase the hard-disk size of this Windows Virtual machine with Parallels settings, as the BootCamp partition is one of the partitions on your Mac's hard-disk.
    You will have to import Import your Boot Camp partition into a Parallels Desktop virtual machine, which will create a new pvm bundle in the name "Imported My BootCamp.pvm"
    In order to import your Boot Camp partition into a Parallels Desktop virtual machine, please refer the KB article http://kb.parallels.com/113658
    Double-click on your .pvm file to start your Virtual Machine.
    You can increase the hard-disk size of this Virtual machine , please follow the steps as in the KB article http://kb.parallels.com/113972 , to increase the hard-disk of Windows Virtual Machine & check how it works!
