The virtual machine could not be started. The virtual machine could not be
started. There is insufficient reserve capacity.

I have 3 VHD on a 40 gig drive. They are just used for demo/testing. When I
built them I went with 16 gig Dynamically Expanding Virtual Hard Disk drives.
They will never reach that size. With Virtual PC I can run them all. With VS
when I try and start more then on I get "The virtual machine could not be
started. The virtual machine could not be started. There is insufficient
reserve capacity."

Is there away around this with out rebuilding and using smaller drives?

Thanks
Steve

That's not related to disk space, but CPU resource allocation.

Go to the "Resource Allocation" section of the Admin page. There you
can adjust the reserve capacity to a lower value for the VMs.
Actually, setting them all to zero remove the issue.
