Hi everyone I accidentally close out of my Parallels bootcamp the wrong way instead of shutting down as usual. Now when I try to launch Parallels I get Unable to open disk image Boot Camp;disk1s3! . How can I fix this? Thanks
Please disconnect all external disk, and try, If problem is still there try to edit pvs file from VM folder and set string Boot Camp;disk1s3 to Boot Camp (backup original pvs file) Also you can perform following step Configuration Editor- Hard Disk 1- Advanced - click Clear (Note you need to reactivate Windows)
Hi John I disconnected all external drives and renamed the set string in the pvs file located in the Parallels folder under user/documents with another error that came up. I replaced it with my back up since the error seemed much worse when I edited the pvs. Now I'm going to click Clear. But before I do this does it erase anything on my Windows partition? Thanks
I went ahead and clicked clear, restarted my system and it came up without it prompting to reactivate windows. The only thing now is it's not readying an ip for it to go online. My Mac is fine but my windows VM saying it can't connect to the interent due to ip issues. Is this still part of the issue of clicking Clear when I did this? Thanks
Hi John, I got it working. I rebooted and it picked up the IP and all is fine. Thanks for the info. All I did was click Clear and it went back to normal after the reboot. When you do that does anything get ruined or what exactly does clear do?
Parallels makes copy of system files, in order keep original Windows files untouched and this copy is deleting
