Hi: this may or may not be a dumb question but I jumped from version 7 to version 9. I remember at one time that the Parallels desktop included Parallels Explorer which allowed you to look at vm files and copy stuff out of them without running the VM. I can't find the same functionality in Parallels desktop 9 for mac. Thanks in advance. Mike V.
Hi You can access vm files without running the VM using Parallels Mounter. For more information see Browse Virtual Hard Disks in Mac OS X documentation topic.
Thanks Stu, that works. Only issue is that on my virtual machine, it does not want to open both partitions (C and D drive at the same time.) This was a converted boot camp partition to a full virtual hard disk. If I tell it to open with the mounter twice then I do get the second partition. Pretty neat regardless if you ask me. Mike
