    Parallels 5, I have a disk image that could be 12 gigs smaller if compressed. No snapshots or undos. Clicking the Compress button in the disk settings does nothing. I get a progress bar for about 5 seconds and left back at the disk settings area, no error messages are given.

    My free disk space on the mac side is low, only 4 gigs free.

    here are some errors from the os x console:

    Another data point to add... the VM that won't compress was created with parallels version 3, upgraded to version 4, and then upgraded again to version 5.

    I tried another VM that was created with version 5 and it compressed with no issues using the same command sequence outline above on the same host.

    parallels support, do you have any ideas on what I can do with this?

    Does parallels support read the forum, or is it just us users now?

    What is the size of VM that doesn't compress? Total virtual hard disk size?

    I just upgraded to Parallel's 5 (started at 3). Cannot compress. The message I get is that the disk is corrupt, or there are snapshots (there are none). Substantial disk resources can be saved if this is resolved, please advise.
