These instructions are working for Parallels Desktop version 6 and 7. If you need to run your existing VMware virtual machines in Parallels read these short instructions down bellow. However, Parallels and VMware use their own virtual disk formats and configuration files, that are not compatible with each other.

Truffles Posts: 4 Joined: 28.Parallels Desktop for Mac is a popular virtualization software for Mac OS X much like VMware is on Windows platform. It won't boot in VirtualBox and the VDI is all that's mounted.

Go to the hard disk advanced settings -> properties, then deselect "expanding drive". you can convert to "plain" format using the parallels GUI instead of command line. After that, I was able to shrink the drive size in Parallels, and then convert. The parallels drive settings (hard disk advanced settings -> properties) would only allow me to grow the drive, not shrink it, until I went into the guest OS and shrunk the main partition and deleted the recovery partition at the end of the drive.

But to convert to plain format it'll take up the full size of the virtual disk, so I had to first shrink the drive. This was because my virtual disk was 256GB, even though it was only 40GB on disk.
I kept getting the error "Not enough free space on the physical disk to complete the operation." when trying to convert the parallels disk to "plain" type. if the guest OS is Windows, you can just uninstall the Parallels tools from "add or remove programs", avoiding steps 3-5 of the above instructions This worked for me to convert a VM from Parallels 15 to VirtualBox 6.1.
