Parallels Mounter won't mount VM

"Either the hard disk has no volumes or its file system is not supported or contains errors. Start your virtual machine and check the disk for file system errors."

That's the text of the error message that opens when I attempt to mount any of the VMs I have - Ubuntu, Windows XP or 7. The XP install is a fresh one, which did seem to open at first, but subsequently now doesn't, can't comment on the others. There's nothing wrong with the file system or anything else that I know of.

What next, please?

Parallels 6.0.11992, Mac Pro, 6-Core Intel Xeon 3.33 GHz, 6 cores, 6G memory, ATI HD 5870 video card.
 
Ditto with me. After the Parallels and 10.6.6 upgrade, file sharing is pretty broken. Files still show up under \\psf on windows, though.
 
10.6.6 seems to be the common denominator here then, I forgot to add that detail to my list.

Anyone from Parallels Support listening?

No there is not a problem with MacFuse, there is a problem with Parallels 6.0.11992. Everything worked perfectly fine until your latest release of Parallels. There are numerous other threads on this forum about other problems with Parallels current release. I did not buy a high powered machine to run it crippled.
 
this was in an email I just received:
Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
In Parallels Desktop 6 Update 1 we revert MacFuse from newer version to 2.0.3 (because we found some problems with new version of MacFuse).
***************

I reverted to MacFuse 2.0.3 and Parallels 6.0.11992 still does not work. I don't beleive this is a MacFuse issue.

MacFuse 2.0.3 doesn't work in 64-bit mode.


Problem on another forum:
MacFUSE kext fails to load on Snow Leopard in 64-bit mode - http://www.mail-archive.com/macfuse@googlegroups.com/msg00887.html


from http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23729/macfuse
An experimental build that fixes certain issues with Snow Leopard and 64-bit can be found here:

Remember, 2.1.7 is experimental. Use it at your own risk!

@ STU

I installed 2.1.7 and it mounts the drive. I was running 2.1.5 prior to the 6.0.11992 upgrade and it was working fine under 64 bit. I still think you have issues with the current release, but the experimental version of MacFuse seems to be working fine for me. Thanks for the link. I have been wanting to find out why I get a C and D drive mounted with Parallels Mounter and only a C on the desktop when the VM is loaded.

I suppose that Parallels Mounter mounts hidden boot partition (this partition usually presents in windows vista/7).
 
Same Issue w/new update.

Just updated to 12090 and still have the same MacFUSE issue when trying to use mounter. Don't you guys think it is time to fix this problem and either update MacFuse or mac an equivalent?
 
I don't care what they use as long as it works. I should have to mess with and running my machine in 64 bit is not an option!
