(1) Mounted the windows drive in linux VM (I just booted a VM from a SystemRescue disc image) and used GParted to shrink the Windows partition to the size I wanted (40GB down to 16GB) Here's what I did, your mileage may vary: I solved the problem using an inelegant solution. At this point I am deleting things on the OSX side to keep the VM running and it's sitting there with 20 GB free. I seem to be stuck without enough HD space to make anything happen and it's only getting worse. Since I have limited OSX space it seems it won't convert my VM to a dynamic VM (or whatever it's called when it's not plain). I tried to delete the snapshots and I still get the same error message about having snapshots "OR" a plain disk. I have run compressor but it says it won't compress because it's has snapshots or is a plain disk. It has 80 GB of data and I need that room, or at least some of it, on the OSX size since I keep getting the "<500 MB" error message from Parallels that completely halts the VM. However, at 107 GB my XP VM Disk is bloated. ![]() Things have been working well and I am migrating to OSX as best I can. ![]() Until Office for Mac 2007 comes out I am a bit of a slave to the XP side of things since our office is all XP driven except for my MacBook Pro.
