    Hello there

    I've read the manuals and I'm a bit confused. I have a Mac Book Pro with 2Gb RAM and about 145 Gb hard disk currently free, and I want to use Parallels with Windows Vista. My understanding is that you can use the Easy Installs but these produce a VM with a partition size that changes according to how much space your folders occupy and thus is slow.

    I want to bring over about 15 Gb of old data from a Windows 2000 PC as well as doing a full Windows Vista install. Could anyone advise me on settings if I choose a custom installation please? Or should I just not worry as I am not a major power/games user (more office and publishing, me) and use the Easy Install?

    I have already activated, registered and checked for Parallels updates.

    Thank you very much for any help you can give.

    Imogen
