How can I increase the hard drive size running Windows 7 inside of Parallels desktop, now that it's running out of room?
If your disk is in expanding format, then it will expand when needed. Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac User's Guide Page: 166 When you create a virtual machine, the disk is created in the expanding format. You can change the disk format in the Hard Disk pane of the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog. To add a plain hard disk to your virtual machine, clear the Expanding disk option when adding a hard disk to the virtual machine.
Just in addition to the previous post - here is the link to documentation You need Editing the Disk part.
