Unable to start the virtual machine

[Kushari]

I have parallels accessing my Bootcamp partition and it wants me to remove files. The physical partition its on has 150gb of 199 free, so its clearly talking about my Mac partition. Which is not where the virtual machine is. The reason I think it's reffering to my Mac partition is because when it does this and I remove some files from the mac partition it works. This should be fixed.

Hi Kushari

Parallels Desktop needs free space to place temporary/working files. Please check free space on partition where the VM is located.

That's the thing. The VM is actually a bootcamp partition. There is no actual VM. Unless you mean parallels still creates some files on my Macintosh HD drive.

Yes, Parallels Desktop creates VM files (configuration, memory, etc...).
