    I upgraded to Leopard to discover I has one of the HDDs in suspend mode. It appears that the configuration is now somehow corrupt and Parallels is forcing me through the 'OS Installation Assistant' every time I start Parallels Desktop.

    I can navigate to the HDD location on the hard drive and I can see the HDD, MEM, PVS and SAV files. However, we I try to open the HDD, I get the message:

    "The virtual hard disk you selected is used by a suspended virtual machine. Modifying the virtual disk may result in data loss. Click Open to View to browse the contents in read-only mode. Click Open to Modify to browse the contents in the read-and-write mode. Click cancel to cancel the operation."

    Regardless, I am looking for suggestions on how to start this HDD and get around this 'OS Assistant' from keep trying to have me install a new HDD? By the way, I am not really interested in the changes from my HDD - so losing the changes of the suspend are not that important to me.

    Thanks!
