    Hi,

    I have a windows XP installed in my Parallels Desktop on a virtual drive that is 7Go. I need to extend it and I did it with Parallels Image Tool with success but when I restart Windows that new space appears as a separate partition and I don't want that ! I want to extend my current partition in Windows !!

    How is it possible to do that ?

    Thanks in advance

    Success?

    Were you able to find a solution that allowed you to create a new virtual disk and copy all of your programs and settings from the old (smaller) HD Image?

    Please advise.

    Thanks!

    Yes, only way I found was to install Partition Magic so I could resize the windows partition, but you need an external paying software for that, which is not nice in my idea !
