    I foolishly tried to reclaim disk space having let weeks gone by before a backup. Mid process my computer crashed.
    Now Windows won't boot. It goes into recovery mode and tries to self-correct but keeps erroring on memory address.
    To be honest, there are only 2 small files I need out of this VM to consider myself fully backed up, but those 2 files are 3 weeks worth of work.

    Is there any way to fix the image file or at least get at the contents to copy a couple of files out?

    Hi @GusL , please select .pvm file > Open with > Parallels mounter and check if you are able to access the files inside Windows virtual machine.
