    I had parallels desktop, the latest beta version in a pause mode. When I restarted it I got the following error message, "A disk read error occurred. I was instructed to reboot, but continue to get the same error. Any ideas?

    i'm getting a disk read error as well

    I've been using build 3120 on a macbook pro for several weeks with no problem, but suddenly since yesterday I am not able to start the VM. I'm getting the same error:

    "A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"

    When I boot off my Windows XP SP2 CD and run chkdsk on c:, I get:

    "The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems."

    Is there anything else I can do to recover all my data and applications?

    Same problem

    After I increased the size of my Virtual Drive, restarted my MacBook, which recommended recovering disk space, it reads "disk read error." When starting up WinXP.

    I wonder if recovering disk space brings on this glitch. But now, I have to go to a backup copy again.
