[I am experiencing problems updating to Parallels Desktop 4.0
I am running Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac
Build 5608 (June 10, 2008)
It is running on a Mac Pro
Processor: 2 - 3Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 5GB
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
I have two guest operating systems.
I did a convert on the Vista Ultimate one which did not have much in it and it worked okay.
I then tried to backup and convert the Windows XP professional Virtual machine and it failed.2
I have restored my disk from a superduper backup, and have been running okay after the restore using the parallels 3.0 version restored.
This is my Virtual machine directory before the conversion
Then I did an install of parallels 4.0
Disk drive before conversion
303 GB space left
When I do the backup and convert I am goingto copy to Disk 2 which has: 874 GB left
It picks up both my virtual machines
Backing up to disk 2:
And again it failed at least this time I have a trail of what happened.
Unable to complete the action for the virtual machine %1.
No Virtual machine configuration file could be found in the location "%2".
Now I am going to try to convert it without backing it up.
still the same.
If I look in the backup directory there is nothing there ???
Now I am dead in the water an need to restore my machine from a backup.
Please help me get this working.
Thanks Jim
