I understand that. 1) The fact my disk did not show-up from the XP side was becaue there were Snapshots -- yet Parallels didn't provide a message stating THIS was the reason it didn't put the disk in the list. The docs say if the disk doesn't show-up it's because it was a PLAIN disk. True...

Total confusion. 1) From XP the Image Tool doesn't show my HD which led me to think it must be PLAIN. 2) With XP stopped, from Parallels the Image tool showed the COMPACT button which it should NOT do if the disk is PLAIN. 3) Clicking COMPACT -- would not do anything claiming...

According to Windows the disk size is 32GB of which less than 10GB are used. So I want to decrease the size to 12GB. Somehow my HDD is a PLAIN one. Which seems to be unable to be compressed by the Disk Tool. (My disk doesn't show up in the list.) It seems even though it is a PLAIN disk...

"OK after testing this and much research I finally have a sulotion that I know works so here it is." It works to do WHAT? Compact an EXPANDING disk? This can be done in 5608 or likely even earlier versions since it is now 2008. Compact a PLAIN disk?

You are good! The XP Start-up sound now plays fine. Folders drag fine. I must have lowered PD. It looks like VP really needs 1/2GB + 1/2GB more for the VM. So if PD is 1GB, VM can only be 1/2GB. I also reset Video RAM to 16MB. Thank you! If you are in India -- where. I'll be in Chennai...

PD is 1024MB -- half of my RAM. VM is at 768MB.

I don't know what you mean by "PD"? For some reason I can't set the slider past about 960MB. I'm not sure what "Virtual pre-allocation" means. Video RAM is at 32MB.

Thank you for your quick response. OS 10.4.10 and 10.4.11 V 5160 MANUAL: 768MB of 2GB -- Virtual pre-allocation VRAM = 32 Accel = HIGH Enable VT-x Optimize for VM Enable Direct-X VM Tools installed. Says there are no disks to be Compacted. How long till FireWire and...

Parallels working perfectly. No problem at all. But -- it seems to run XP applications very slowly. Any idea what could be wrong? Should I defrag my C: disk from within XP?

THANK YOU. That's a very neat way of having two disks.

1. I've been unable to use XP's built-in FTP SERVER to work when using a directory on my "C:" drive. But, it does works perfectly if the FTP SERVERs directory is -- or is on -- a USB drive. Not sure if this is a Parallels problem or an NTFS issue. The USB drive is obviously FAT32. (Anyone have...

I have a VM on my Mac laptop. I want to keep this VM that uses the internal laptop drive. Is there a way to take the same VM and simply switch it to use a FireWire drive? If I can't switch between the two -- can I move my current expandable drive to the FireWire drive. I would think I...
