    1. From the beginning it was 64 GB. It was enough for my tasks;
    2. Yesterday it said that can't make memory shot of VM, because of lack of free space;
    3. Enlarge space for VM is impossible, the settings interface in Parallels Desktop Menu is being disabled;
    4. I dont want to reinstall all my VM, I know there is way to make free space, what is this way?

    Sorry for my awful english.

    Do you have snapshots? If so, delete them First.

    Some HD format types dont allow resizing. For instance a OSX format. They also dont support the shrink freature. There are ways around that limitation, but require some work on your end and software. For instance with OSX, you create another virtual HD the size you want, then boot to your OSX installer disc, select drive utllities then, restore small to large, exit, selecting new large drive as boot. Test and remove old small one.
