Parallels Explorer, Dumb Question

[mavidal]

Hi:

this may or may not be a dumb question but I jumped from version 7 to version 9.

I remember at one time that the Parallels desktop included Parallels Explorer which allowed you to look at vm files and copy stuff out of them without running the VM. I can't find the same functionality in Parallels desktop 9 for mac.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

You can access vm files without running the VM using Parallels Mounter. For more information see Browse Virtual Hard Disks in Mac OS X documentation topic.

Thanks Stu, that works. Only issue is that on my virtual machine, it does not want to open both partitions (C and D drive at the same time.) This was a converted boot camp partition to a full virtual hard disk. If I tell it to open with the mounter twice then I do get the second partition. Pretty neat regardless if you ask me.
