Virtual Disk corrupt

Discussion in 'Windows Virtual Machine' started by Parallels User, Sep 19, 2015.

  1. Hey guys!
    Today my I shut down my virtual machine and it froze. I've waited several minutes and nothing happened so I force quit the VM. Since then I cannot boot it anymore. I tried the following things:
    I have no Time Machine backup of my VM (which is my fault *stupid me*) and keep getting the error "Unable to connect to Hard Disk 0" when I try to boot the VM.

    Is there anyone who can help me here? :/

    Guest OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    Host: iMac 21,5" Mid 2011 running Yosemite 10.10.5
    Parallels: 10.2.2

    Exactly the same issue.
    In the last week I've had a number of issues. Losing internet connectivity on VM when Mac is put to sleep. Only resolution is to reboot.
    When I try to reboot the VM hangs and Parallels Desktop Force Quits.
    When I try rebooting the VM i get the "Unable to Connect to Hard Disk 0" error message and the only option given is to shut down the VM or do a clean install.
    The difference for me is that rebooting my Mac fixes the issue temporarily.

    I use Parallels for work, and as a software consultant I rely on Parallels for Demo'ing. Starting to get cold feet with this new release.

    Guys, did you try to mount your virtual hard drive to Mac?
     
  4. @Maria@Parallels Yes, like I said, I got the following error when trying to mount the .hdd via Parallels Mounter: "Paralles Mounter is unable to browser virtual disk"
