    I used VMWare's Converter to make a portable version of my Bootcamp partition on an external hard drive. It seems to work fine running from that hard drive.

    I actually did this twice, the first time setting the size of the new VM at 50G and the second time setting it at "minimum size, which was 33 GB. However both times the Converter produced a VM or 105 GB.

    But now I want to import it back into my OSX drive and when I try this (in Parallels) the Parallels "Transporter" says that the VM is 105 GB and there's only 35 GB available on my OSX partition.

    How can I downsize the VMWare VM so that I can get it back on my OSX partition. I want to do that, check that it's all running properly, then deep six the Bootcamp partition.

    Thanks!
