Have been running Parallels 3.0 on a Mac (OSX) for some time now with no problems.
However, have just noticed that, in the Users/<username>/Documents/Parallels folder there appear to be two installations of Win XP or are they VM's? Each is in a folder:
"Microsoft Windows XP" containing winxp.hdd only
"Microsoft Windows XP 1" containing winxp.hdd plus a number of other files
The first folder is dated November 2008 and the second today.
Is this normal? Should I delete the older folder?
 
Hello bogorman,

Most possible you cloned one virtual machine that is why you have 2 windows forder.

You may check which disk your Virtual Machine uses (Edit-> Virtual Machine-> hard disk 1 and check location of the virtual disk) and remove the second one to trash after that start your VM and check, in case you do not have any error message you may empty the trash.
