Was working away, doing several things at once, as usual, when my virtual machines present suddenly as a black screen with a question mark...
Came in here looking for answers.
Followed some leads, (
http://kb.parallels.com/10109) basically in order to direct the machine to it's PVM file. Looked around, couldn't find anything where it was meant to be, found the folders, but they were empty....
The P.D. article suggests recounting the steps that led up this situation, in order to have an understanding of what may have happened to the file...
That's easy: on the back of another task in OSX, I emptied the trash can.....
There it is then.... from this point, it seems, everything has to be built from scratch, so much for my deadline...
But why in blazes were the virtual machines running from PVM files in the trash....????
And what happens when I rebuild this thing? Does it run the virtual machine from the trash again.......
For flocks sake.......
