    just installed parallels 4.0 - seems to be working great! however - i forgot to go to advanced setup and designate how much hard drive space i wanted partitioned - so it just did the standard 30gb. i would prefer a bunch more - is this possible to change?

    or do i uninstall and do it over again (uninstall looks complicated) or can i just add another virtual machine and do it that way - will it allow me to do XP again?

    thanks for any help offered!

    Hello,

    You can increase the space of the hard drive using the Image tool utility.

    Go to applications->Parallels->Double click on image tools->Click continue(on the new image tool window)->Click choose->Navigate to documents->parallels->.pvm file(your virtual machine name)->harddisk0.hdd->hardisk0.hdd->click on choose->click on continue->it will ask to increase the size of the .hdd file double the original size.It will increase/decrease the size of your disc.
