    Hi all,
    I have a MacBook M4 Pro with Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition.
    I also have two Unix hosts witch used to run on Amazon. Ubuntu for Intel architecture.
    I was led to believe I could at least read the hard drives and transfer files in this support article: https://kb.parallels.com/125344
    But when I download the instances and extract the .vmdk this is not the case. Parallels gives me this error when having the .vmdk as secondary drive on a new Ubuntu host;
    PRL_ERR_DISK_DATA_NOT_FOUND
    Is there any way or is the support article wrong?
