    I get this message when trying to edit Hard Disk 1
    Parallels Desktop-1.png
    However, when I check Parallels for snapshots, I get this...
    Windows 7 x64 - Snapshots.png

    Any suggestions?

    I am out of memory and cannot run the machine at this point (at least not efficiently)

    Cheers!

    Indeed it is a tough one... And I am now out of hard disk space. Any suggestions on how to rebuild the existing Windows machine with a larger disk space, or migrate applications to Disk2 ?

    Current Parallels version is: Build 8.0.18354

    Try to delete the snapshots, Go to Virtual Machine menu > Manage Snapshots.. and delete all snapshots.

    The image posted in the original message showed that the snapshot list is empty.

    BTW. I have the same issue and don't know to increase the size of the hdimage.

    I have solved this problem.
    What I did (a wee bit cheeky but needs must), was to download and install the trial of VMWare Fusion.
    Then import it into VMware. Once there import it back into Parallels and problem solved.
