Hello,
I had to copy 40 Gb of data temporarily to my computer and I did it in XP with parallels. After that I deleted the data, but newly freed diskspace is under XP(that means my Mac sees, that the hard drive is full, but XP says there 40 Gb free space[that's because Mac sees XP HDD as a file that expands]).
Now I want to shrink that XP HDD file, but parallels image tool compressing does nothing.
I'm very annoyed about this, because most of my work is done on Leopard, but disk is almost full and I can't import any of my homevideos. So currently I have to do these things under XP.

So, what would be the nice solution?
(By nice I mean that I don't have to delete xp.hdd file. I have also there quite important stuff and I don't want to set XP with its programs up again )
