    Hi

    I started up Outlook and it reported a disk corruption!!!!

    Strange I thought NEVER had this before, set chkdsk to run on restart and did a restart.

    Before the machine had shutdown windows blue screened on me.

    This has never happened before.

    chkdsk found LOADS of problems.

    I am deleting this VM instance and copying back a backup I made this weekend but this is really strange and i all the time I have used Parallels which is well over a year now I have never seen this problem.

    Anyone else having this kind of issue with 5160?

    Maybe something went wrong with the Windows machine...

    Well it is probably the most likely cause. :eek:)

    Back up worked great and everything back to normal.

    Cheers.

    Glad you had a back-up.

    Always.

    The thing I love about Parallels is I can backup the whole VM Implementation by copying one folder.

    I copy this every weekend and before I install any windows updates or Parallels updates.

    It just seems to make sense. :eek:)

    It is quite easy. My next most favourite thing is snapshots.
