Converting a 2 GB Win 2000 VM from 3 to 5 format.
Is it supposed to take ages? Greybar has been stuck at the same place for an hour now. No real sign of any disk activity.

HALP!

New Mac mini on 10.6.4.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Mods: Why has this been moved from Apps to AOS? It's got nowt to do with the guest OS - everything to do with Parallels, a Mac application.

No matter. Problem solved by force quitting Parallels several times.

I moved it because ALL Parallels, Fusion, Virtual Box, etc. discussions go here. We congregate the apps that let you run the guest OS here to keep it all together. And because most problems with these apps are really related to the guest OS. It would be more confusing for the majority of users to have the app covered in one forum and the guest OS being used in the app in another. Check the red text under AOS...
