Hi
After 1 month using parallels, suddenly today I received this message while starting up my virtual machine with windows 7. I don't use bootcamp.
I've read some hints and I've tried to change all the permissions on the .pvm file and all his content with the command
sudo chmod -R 777 ./
but I've already read and write for all files for all accounts.
Il I try to follow this article
http://kb.parallels.com/en/5734
I see that in the parallels.log file I've
04-18 00:58:35.142 F /vdisk:1820:3d17/ Error locking file /Users/paodoc/Documents/Parallels/Windows 71.pvm/Windows 71-0.hdd/Windows 71-0.hdd [35]
04-18 00:58:35.142 F /vdisk:1820:3d17/ Couldn't lock disk: 0x80021037
04-18 00:58:35.142 F /vdisk:1820:3d17/ OpenDisk() returned error 0x80021037
This means it's a permission problem, I think, but permissions are set...
I've tried to copy the .pvm file but I get the error that the file is corrupted.
I've also tried to run a new VM and load the .hdd file as a second HD to save the datas, but I'm always getting an error saying that the file is corrupted or used by another program.
Please I'm desperate... help me
