Trying to copy something into Program Files, get error message

Hey guys,

I tried to copy a file into my c:\program files (x86) folder, and this error message came up:

"Y:\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have moved to a different location."


Any ideas what this is about and how I can go about fixing it? I apologize if this is a common problem.

 

You were copying from where? And did you have Vm running at the moment?

 

Yes I was trying to copy something from my external drive to the program files folder through Parallels

 

Was this drive connected directly to Virtual Machine or it was connected to Mac and appeared in VM as a shared folder?
