    Hi :

    After searching through the forum, I couldn't find any relevant post on this topic so I decided to make a post.

    I'm currently running 5160 build. Basically I have an expanding Windows XP VM that is set to expand up to 32G. I would like to convert it to a plain disk as I want to set a size quota on it (running it on my Macbook Pro).

    Help appreciated.

    Parallels Image Tool (located in the same folder as the Parallels Desktop application) should be able to convert an expanding disk to plain format.

    I think that the Image Tool does that as well. Take a peak. If not, I know you can resize the plain disk.
