    How can I setup an OSX guest with a hard disk any bigger than 64GB?

    It does not let me change size before VM setup. After setup I cannot use VM settings to edit the 64GB expanding disk hard disk.

    I attached screen shot below:
    • The size spin-box and slider are disabled.
    • I cannot check "Resize file system"

    Solved.

    1 - Edit VM configuration before beginning the install.
    2 - Delete hard disk ( that Parallels refuses to allow you to edit for some stupid reason. )
    3 - Add new hard disk and edit to the desired size. I set hard disk to 250GB expanding.
    4 - Boot and begin install
