Trouble restoring from backup

Hi. I'd appreciate your advice on a problem I'm having restoring a backed up VM.

This is Tiger, XP Home Edition, MacBook, build 5160.

I backed up my entire hard drive, then reformatted my main drive and reinstalled Tiger. I thought I could restore by doing two things:
1) copy my /applications/Parallels fold back to /applications
2) copy my VMs back to /users/MattBaker/documents/Parallels/

When I try to run a restored VM, I get a message that
"Virtual machine cannot be started because of the following problem. File /Volumes/Untitled 1/Users/MattBaker/Documents/Parallels/VMname/winxp.hdd seems to be not a regular file and cannot be used as a hard disk image."

Both of my restored VMs give me the same message. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!
