Windows 7 Virtual machine missing

Discussion in 'Installation and Configuration in Windows and Linux' started by syedkhalid.kareem, Jan 30, 2012.

  1. Hello,

    I was notified that there was a Parallels update available to install. I clicked install. It froze Windows 7 and Parallels completely. I could not click on anything. After about 5 minutes of waiting, I restarted my MacBook Pro. When I rebooted and entered Parallels it told me there was no OS installed on the virtual machine. In fact, I saw that my MacBook Pro was reporting 45 GB available as free space, when before it had been 20 GB. So this somehow completely erased my Windows within the virtual machine.

    I do not have any backup as well. A lot of important data is there in the VM, please help.


    Regards,
    Syed khalid Kareem
