    Not resolved yet!

    YanaYana,

    Sorry - I was trying to say that the chkdsk showed no problems. The main problem - I can't compress/reduce the size of my VM- is still NOT resolved...

    Still need help here...

    chkdsk should not essentially show any errors.

    But i suggest you to check the snapshots - locate PVM file (usually in User/Documents/Parallels) show package content > locate hdd file > show package content and count the number of hds files. If you see more than 1 - you have snapshots and you need to merge them. You can do it manually: http://kb.parallels.com/en/9165

    Same Problem

    YanaYana,

    Yes - I already tried this approach, too. It does not solve my problem. I still can not resize my disk and I have manually deleted all snapshots...
