Hello from Ecuador! I know that there are several people having problems with there winxp.hdd file, so I hope there is a solution. My Winxp.hdd crashed when I shut down Windowsxp/Parallels and now I can´t open the 12 GB file. It´s really important to get it working again because we need the GPS-MAP-Software from Garmin (Garmin that´s the GPS-company lying about MAC OS support - don´t buy Garmin, reconsider buying a Magelland device!!) We need to set waypoints at the map under Windows and transfer them to my Garmin because we´ll hiking in/to a kind of dangerous aerea with nearly no water. As the problem with the crashed/corrupted Winxp.hdd is quite common I thought there is maybe even a tool to fix it. Thanks a lot! Bye, jodel5 (having a heartattack) PS: Do you guys know that the forms here don´t work with Opera??
Why don't you keep backups of the VM???? I don't think you can recover from a corrupt hd file, I couldn't. But I religiously backup my VM.
Hi! To read and think would be an great idea, no? 1. I´m travelling and the weight of the MacBook Pro is more than enough. 2. And I didn´t ask for stupid answers. I thought Parallels is a program running on Mac Os and (my) Mac OS uses a journal file system. So how a crash like this could be so dramatic? However, I used VMWare under Linux with Windows and never had problems like that - although I only used EXT3 for Linux and stupid NTFS under Windows. Bye, Stefan
