[QUOTE="Kash, post: 601888, member: 23444"] Parallels has a dynamic hard drive image. Setting it to a specific number is only setting a max. So if you set it to 15GB but only end up using 5GB, only 5GB will be used on your hard drive. Like for me, Parallels has set itself to have a max of 30GB, but I'm currently only using 6GB. That max number is simply what you want the Windows installation to not go over. Set it to whatever you're comfortable setting aside. If you're just using it for running the occasional Windows program, even 8GB is more than enough. [/QUOTE]
