    Hi everybody!

    I'm new to this forum and to the whole Parallels software, but I have to admit it's great!

    I only have 1 question : is it possible to, say, delete or uninstall completely a virtual machine? The reason I'm asking that is because I installed Windows XP as a guest OS and recently received Windows Vista as a gift!

    Now I installed Windows Vista, but need to get rid of XP. Is there any way?
    If I uninstall the whole Parallels Desktop software and re-install it, will I lose my Vista VM too?

    Thanks a lot!

    Edit : Please bear in mind that I'm very new to all of this...

    not necessary

    just file menu create new machine

    clone the old onto an external hard disk
    use the file menu to delete VM

    I run my VM from a La Cie 800 firewire disk

    and clone it to a second as back up
