I have been using Parallels 3.0 5582 since a few months ago, to run a WindowsXP SP2 in a VM with 512 MB RAM. This VM has three virtual hard disks: C: System E: Source code F: Data I use this VM as part of my normal work every day, and everything works fine... except that if Parallels ends abnormally (because a Force Quit or a powerdown), many times I end with a BSOD and a message that says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DEVICE, followed by a soft-reset. I had readed all about this problem in MacNN forums and the web, and tried the CHKDSK /F and a number of other fixes, and none had worked for me. After the first time it happend, I reinstalled WindowsXP SP2 and all my programs, made a DVD backup of the virtual hard disk, so now everytime I ended with a corrupted system disk, I just have to restore my backup and I'm back to bussines in 30min or so. But this is just a temporary solution. What I would like to know is: a) Can this error be avoided? b) Can this error be fixed? c) Is a UPS my only solution? Thanks for your help. Victor Espina P.S.: I'm running Parallels in a iMac Alumn (mid 2007) with 3 GB RAM and Leopard 10.5.2
