    Shortly after 3.x upgrade, -ALL- of my VMs fail to restart, tossing me the following error:



    Virtual machine cannot be started because of the following problem:

    Parallels Desktop is unable to access the virtual hard disk image file /Users/jorn/Library/Parallels/winxp.1/winxp.1.hdd. The file is missing, corrupted, or used by other application.

    ​

    I'm at a complete loss here, and the search yielded nothing. Ideas? I'm a bit freaked out

    Do a search of the Mac forums for the word DiskDescriptor.xml.
