Compact clearly doesn not work right in the release version. The progress bar goes to the complete position and sits there. I tried twice and gave up after more than 24 hours each. This is on a 16GB max dynamic drive that had grown to 10+GB, while internally occupying only 6GB. I had even defragmented prior to trying this.
I installed TrueImage 9 - Workstation, and created a second virtual disk of the same size on another hard disk.
I then used TrueImage to clone the disk. It automatically copies boot sectors etc., and will only copy active files in the file system - it is not a sector copier.
90 minutes later I was left with a new, 6GB image that worked like a charm. TrueImage does lots of other stuff, and is better than Ghost or similar products.
Parallels, your compacting and USB handling need serious attention!
