I have done a dumb thing for new years! I tried cleaning up my hard drive and accidentally threw the parallels folder into the trash. Here's what happened and hopefully someone can help??
I threw the parallels folder into the trash while vista was running. When I started to empty the trash a notice came up stating that something could not be trashed because it was running and I recognized it as a parallels item. I stopped the trash from dumping and pulled the parallels folder back into it's original home. I still see all of the icons I had previously. There is a .mem, .pvs, .sav, .fdd, an applications folder with all of the applications inside, a disks folder with a c drive and a .hdd file. I quit vista and prayed as I rebooted without success. It tells me there has been a major crash and asks for the original vista discs to repair it.
My questions is, if I allow vista to repair using the original discs will I loose all the applications, setups and files on the original setup I had 15min ago?
How dumb and I, after you stop laughing at my new years blunder, please provide input on how I might be able to save what was previously built? I had a lot of programs and files on this setup...
