hallo. Got question. I have prepared my virtual PC with some program. Have
moved virtual HDD to other PC, and uninstall several programs, which I wont
need there. I have free about 3 GB of HDD space, having occupiend only about
1GB of HDD size. But virtual HDD size is still the same on both PC (about 4
GB). I have tried virtual hdd wizard to compact virtual HDD size, but no
reduction of size happened. Is there any way how to reduce size of virtual
HDD? thank you!

I think at least 2 of the websites mentioned in the newsgroup Mini FAQ
post yesterday cover it.

My website (see sig) would be one of them for a start.

I'm always surprised at "professionals" who STILL have to be asked:
