For testing and purposes of historical research, I've created several different virtual Windows machines for use on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.5, running Parallels Desktop 6), one each for Windows 95, 98, XP, and Vista. Some were created from scratch, some were the results of upgrades from the previous version of Windows.
The HDD files associated with these virtual machines have names like "BaseDrive.hdd" and "winxp.hdd". The problem is, these names aren't always appropriate, for example, the Vista vm's hdd is named "winxp.hdd", because it was created from an originally Win XP vm. It's mostly a cosmetic issue, but I'd very much like to rename all of my hdds so that they have the name of the OS version or something neutral, like "BaseDrive" -- it's annoying to see the "winxp.hdd" name listed in the configuration dialog for a Vista vm.
Is there a way to do this via the Mac Finder, by drilling down through packages, then changing names of hdds, tweaking some other files, and changing the default image for each vm?
