    Hi everyone.

    I'm running Parallels 6 on my MacBook Pro with Windows 7 Home Premium. While trying to install a driver today Parallels gave me an error message saying "Unable to access Hard Disk 1. An error occurred when accessing the hard disk. Error ID: Input/output error."

    I hit okay, then tried to cancel the installation of the driver and a blue screen came up saying the following:

    "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    MEMORY_MANAGEMENT"

    With an entire screen of other stuff... See the attached file for an actual screen shot. (NOTE: Had to Zip it up to be a compatible attachment file extension.)

    Any idea what's going on here? Is it a hardware error or a software error?

    I saw the same Parallels error a few days ago when the MacBook Pro was just sitting there idle in Windows. Windows didn't shut down though...

    So this is twice now with this error... Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Keith
