Hi there, Newbie here. First off, I have to say that this is an amazing program..now there is no reason to not own a mac. Anyways, I have installed windows XP and it's working perfect; but I have a quick question. I have a virtual hard drive of 8GB. My question is: Is this space already reserved on my mac hard drive? I'm asking this because I'm just wondering how much actual space I have left on my Mac hard drive. The finder says 21 GB, but does this include the 8GB I have on my virtual hard drive? I really hope this make sense. If it doesn't let me know and I'll try my best to rephrase the question Thanks, Tim P.S, When I go in fullscreen mode, it gets kind of blurry, is this normal?
Locate the .hdd file in the finder and look to see how big it is. If it's an expending disk, it will probably be much smaller than 8 gig. The space used on your mac drive is whatever the finder says it is.
Finder doesn't know what's inside your XP virtual hard drive. It's just another file on the disk. If it's not all being used by XP then the Finder has no way of knowing that, and can't re-use the spare space. Have you installed Parallels Tools? If I run 98se at 1024 x 768 in a window and then switch to full screen it automatically changes teh XP resolution to 1280 x 1024 to fit my 17" monitor.
