I'm new to this trying out the free verison, I created a parallel on mac to windows XP relized that the C drive only has 2 gigs of memory on it and my mac has 300gigs on it. How do i increase the amount of memory on the c drive for XP?
 
Further to the query regarding increasing "C" disk. I am working my way through help page and am immediately stuck on item 2 'specify the source image file of the virtual hard disk'

How do I specify the source image please? I have looked at all the options seemingly available but cannot recognise anything that is obvious to identify it
I'm sure there is a simple way to do it but unfortunately I can't see it

Running Parallels 4.0
 
Apologies, I have just installed desktop 4.0, but not the downloadable upgrade to 4.0 and hopefully uninstalled 3.0....cheers, sorry bit thick being oldish and a limey!!

In short, you need to use Parallels Image Tool from /Applications/Parallels
Start it and point to Virtual Machine -hdd-hdd <- note you will see hdd file inside pvm bundle, which is also bundle, specifying hdd inside that bundle is correct hdd source

Be aware you need to keep checkbox selected to add space to partition c:

I've done what you say, and I have done it before, but opening Parallels Image tool from its source just opens 'source virtual disk' frontispiece and I am back where I started, it won't allow me any other choices without me specifying the source

May I say I am impressed that you are working on Boxing Day, the UK seems to shut down for a fortnight, doesn't matter to me as I am retired, but my company is working from Monday. well done to you and your colleagues.
 
I am not working today. just looking for forum.
I suppose we have some problems here,
If you provide me some screenshots, probably I can get idea, what is wrong
