I bought my mac with parallels pre installed my mac has died, i desperatley need to access some files on the virtual machines hard drive (.hdd file) I have removed the hard drive physically from my mac and have managed to get the virtual machine off the drive and onto my backup HP computer using free utility called HFS Explorer I do not have access to another mac I have installed parallels for windows on my backup hp laptop but it does not meet the minimum spec for parallels windows and won't let me run the VM! Is there any other way I can access my .hdd file within windows? I had a macbook running snow leaopard with parralels 3.0 The VM is windows XP Pro Many many thanks for your help Dean Osborne
