    I am now out of space and can't do much of anything....

    I have expanded the drive using Parallels, and restarted. The C drive doesn't grow. I have plenty of space on the HD but it just won't grow....
    I have also tried Acronis products, and increasing the drive size using Command Prompt (both were suggestions in similar threads..)
    Someone please help!!

    Yes, I followed those steps initially - to no avail. When I get into the Disk Management tool, I see no available space.
    I am using Parallels 11 on a 2015 MacBook with a 512 SSD, if that helps any...

    Any ideas? I really need this to work asap... can I make a copy of my current Virtual Machine, uninstall Parallels, and reinstall, using more of my drive initially? There is obviously a bug here. And if so, how.

    Hi there,
    I have a same problem. Couldn't work it out in Version 9, 10 and 11. Completely out of space on Win 7 VM. I ahve followed steps in http://kb.parallels.com/113972 and C has no free space to expand. I am still within 30 days from purchase and should be able to talk to Parallels team. Can't find contact details phone nor chat anywhere in your material. Assistance is appreciated. Bob A

    I'm having a similar problem. When I go to the slider bar that changes the memory allocation (MAC vs Virtual Machine) it tells me that I don't have permission to make this change. I am the only user on this machine. What seems to be the problem?
