    I don't have much stuff. 3 Browers, ITunes (with no music, etc.) MS office, etc.

    But my image is 26GB's! Any thoughts? Thanks!

    When you have an expanding disk, your vm disk grows everytime you use it.

    Start parallels and xp, then go to the top menu off parallels, then Actions and choose "Run parallels compressor". This tool will shrink your disk. It can take a lot off time, so be patience.

    Good luck

    Thanks, jackybe67. That cut it down to 12 GB's!
