Where is located the windows file on mac?

Hello,

I had a problem with Windows and reinstalled it, but some of files has been missing.
I have to find through Time machine and I can not find the location of the windows file.
Anyone knows the location?
I use parallels desktop 13.

Thanks in advance.

 

Hello SaehoonD, please let us know for what file you are looking for? Thanks!

 

Hi,
It is in the 'Program Files' directory.
Thanks.

 

I mean the files were in 'Program Files' directory. I need to search it thorugh TimeMachine. Please inform me where the directory is located.

 

Hi @SaehoonD , you can access the Windows drive from Mac desktop. Please make sure that "Mount Windows drive on Mac" is turned N under sharing.

 

Unfortunately, TimeMachine doesn't allow to access the sharing.

 

Hi @SaehoonD , just to confirm, do you have your Windows virtual machine on Time machine?

 

Not really. I just want to restore some missing files in the "Programs Files" folder from Time Machine. I can not find the folder. Regards,

 

Hello @SeahoonD In order to get the files from the Progam Files you need to find the virtual machine(PVM File). If you found the PVM file, please refer this article http://kb.parallels.com/118738 for accessing the PVm file. Thanks, Shathish

 

I have the following error with the PVM file.
"Make sure that the virtual disk is not corrupt and is not in use by Parallels Desktop or another application."
So, I created Windows 10 recovery tool and tried to boot from USB, but I have the following error.
"parallels PXE-E53 no boot filename received."
Is there any method to use the recovery tool with Parallels environment?
