I did a fresh install of Parallels 8 on a fresh installation of Mountain Lion (10.8.1). Two different scenarios resulted in the same issues: Unable to connect Hard Disk 1.
Scenario 1: .pvm of Windows 7 from a prior P7 installation opened without a problem.
Scenario 2: New install of Windows 8 Enterprise RTM. After this happened the first time, I just created a new VM and installation of Windows 8. Same thing happened with the second installation too.
After a few uses of both VMs, with clean shutdowns following each use, I now receive the above mentioned error.
I reported the problem from the "Help" menu in Parallels Desktop and also opened a support request, but wondered if anyone else has seen this problem with v8 and if there is an easier fix than that described in the KB articles where users have experienced this error, albeit from possible a different cause.
