HowTo: Resize Parallels Virtual Hard Disk

First, boot the VM that needs compressing and run the OS X “Disk Utility”. Using this tool, select the Virtual HDD and press the “Partition” button. You should be able to reduce the size of the partition from its maximum to something closer to the amount of data that is actually being used by the partition. Press “Apply” to commit your changes and sit back and wait for the operation to complete.

Next, create an empty Windows VM and configure it to boot an ISO image of the open-source Gparted partition editing software . Before booting the VM configure its first hard disk to use your source virtual hard disk file – the one that needs compressing. Next, again before booting the VM, add a second virtual hard disk and configure it as a new, empty, virtual “Expanding” hard disk file.

Now boot the XP VM and use Gparted to copy the partition from the first virtual HDD to the second. When the copying is complete shutdown the XP virtual machine. The last step is to create a new OS X VM and assign the freshly copied virtual HDD as its only hard disk. Your new VM will be shrunk to the size of the new virtual partition.
