I am running Leopard, Fusion 1.1 and XP pro as a VM. I have given OS X and the VM each 160GB of hard drive space
When I copy the VM file to do an external backup, it is about 40GB! This seems extremely large for an VM that has only 2Gb or less of data.
I would have expected the whole VM to be less than 10GB.
What is causing the VM file to be so large? Is there anything I can do to get a smaller file so I can burn to a DVD?
