    My hard drive died on my MacMini so I installed a new SSD and restored from a Time Machine backup. Now when trying open my Windows 8 on Parallels I get the message the the "Virtual Machine is Not Available":
    "The virtual machine's files have been moved or deleted. If the files are on an external device, reconnect the device. You can also remove the virtual machine from the list or manually locate its files."

    I have not been able to locate the VM Files to link it up. In the event I am looking for the wrong file or in the wrong location please let me know what/where I should be looking. Secondarily, assuming the file is gone (which I think it is), what are my options?

    THanks
