    Hi,

    I am using Parallels Desktop for Mac v.6 (with all the latest updates). I noticed that I had a lot of unused space in the 3 partitions in my Windows XP partitions (C:, D: and E:) on my virtual hard disk (basic, not dynamic). I used Acronis Disk Director Home, in order to resize the 3 partitions and only keep a reasonable size for all of them.

    Now I have ended with an unallocated space of approx. 25GB after the 3rd partition. This space does not belong to any partitions and I would like to get rid of it, in order to reduce the overall size of the virtual disk. Is this possible either through Windows or with the help of a utility?

    Thanks in advance for any help.
