    With Parallels beta installation I am using the previously installed boot camp & windows XP by migration. I did not reinstall windows again but validated the same! This is working fine!

    Guys... this is silly...

    Yes his thread is named wrong. Yes he's talking about beta but look at the English. He is obviously working in a "second" (or maybe even third) language. I doubt he meant any harm.

    Ankou, I see you seem to be moderating the forums... That is a great thing that is very needed however you seen to concentrate on the forums rather than the help that is usually being requested. Are you not knowledgeable in Parallels? If so, why not offer some help then gently remind the user to change their ways?

    vdhoopati. Try looking at this thread about how to extend your VM disk size. It wasn't clear in your post if you are using a VM file or if the space in your bootcamp partition is too small. If it is VM file space then look at the thread below. If it is bootcamp partition which is too small then I think, uninstall and reinstall of bootcamp is the only way.

    Sorry about the name of the thread! Thanks for the suggestion!

    When I installed boot camp! the direction was to choose C: drive to install windows which had only 5.2 GB The instruction in Boot camp literature do not specify how to change disk size. The main part of the disk was D: on which Mac os was loaded.

    Ok well you won't get a lot of help here with Bootcamp. But I think if you didn't make your partition big enough the best thing you can do is to uninstall bootcamp (kills your WinXP install too) then re-install giving it a bigger partition this time. Hopefully someone will chime in and tell me I'm wrong.
