Autoexpanding harddrive

Nice come back. You obviously don't understand the implecation of making what you are asking. Parallels makes good Virtualization product.. not a partitioning product. End of story.

 

the instructions are clear. but i have a question. when i chooose a partition to resize, the resize option in the operations menu is dimmed. is there anything i need to do to activate it?

 

Russ or anyone:

I know this is not parallels related, but can any of you point me to a good partition utiulity for OSX? I ahd to kill my boot camp partition since it was not big enough and cannot recreate it since I get the stupid error some files cannot be moved. I know what the issue is, and really do not want to image my system, wipe it out and start over.

I know that diskwarrior could have taken care of this problem, but they do not have an intel based solutiuon yet.

Could this systemrescue CD do what I need?

Thanks in advance.

Linux Boot

I followed the instructions exactly, but it hangs on "Scanning all disk partitions" after I click the "Commit" button. How long should this step take?

I killed the image once and restarted it. The same occurred on the restart.

To expand my hard drive size to fit the image (vice versa?), I read this messages from the thread below. Worked great for me. Note that my image was originally Fat32 and I had to convert it to NTFS. The guys there explained how to do that as well:

Fixed it!!! I restarted the Linux boot again, this time resizing the partition once again, even though it still defaulted to the new size. This time the commit succeeded.

I can't recommend auto-expanding drives. When I converted mine back to being a static drive, XP now boots up to 300 times faster, and things are just snappier and seems a lot faster now.
