Image Tool usage In Beta 6 I used the Image Tool to expand my VM hdd image. The Paralles Workstation shows the correct expanded size, but Windows XP shows the old, small hard disk size. Ideas? |

Windows XP won't see the size right away you can either create another partition through Windows Computer Management or get a program like Partition Magic to resize your primary partition. Quote:

What I did was to download a free Linux rescue disk that has a full suite of tools, including a partition magic clone. Google this file: "systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.18.iso" and download it. I then attached the .iso image to the Parallels virtual pc CD Rom drive and changed the boot order to CdRom first. Be sure to select " connect on startup". When you restart the pc, it should boot to the rescue disk. Launch the partition program and resize your partition. This worked like a charm for me, as now windows can see my new, larger partition. |
