Going round the bend!

Let me see if I have this right, Parallels will or will not open at all?

If it opens set up a new configuration and select to use an existing drive and point it at your .hdd file.

The reason I get two different messages depends on how I try and open the .hdd file. If I do a spotlight search and double the .hse .hdd file file Parallels tries to open. If I go through finder to the specific file and double click I get the default error message.

This happens with two hdd files I have I'm assuming one is the original and the other is from when I set up the virtual machine again.

Clicking on the .hdd file in my setup produces an error message too. If you navigate to ~/Documents/Parallels/Microsoft Windows XP, do you see a file <winxp.pvs>? If so, what happens when you click on that?

CAn you talk me through that. Do I have to go through inserting XP again etc. At what point do I select the existing .hdd drive

I don't know why you would have to reinstall XP unless there is something wrong with your first installation. From what you have said previously, it sounds as if you are just having a problem navigating in OS X.

In the OS Installation Assistant, what are your options? Are you able to hit "Cancel?" If so, then go to File>Open and you will be able to select your virtual machine.
