Parallels Unable To Connect Hard Disk 0
The dreaded "A disk read error occurred" Discussion in 'Windows Guest OS Discussion' started by dreadthenight, Jan 3,
The Virtual Hard Disk 0 Has Wrong Access Permissions Or Is Used With Another Virtual Machine.
2012. dreadthenight Messages: 6 Hello all, I have a MacBook Pro which was running Windows XP in Parallels 3.0. For some unknown reason Parallels would no longer boot Windows
Parallels No Boot Device Is Available
and the error given was "A disk read error occurred." I upgraded Parallels to 7.0 hoping that would provide some kind of solution, but it did not. After reading some of the posts in this forum, I realize I need to go into the Windows Recovery Console to try and fix the master boot record. Here's the problem - when parallels support number I start Windows now, I get a Parallels message which says "You need to log in to Windows to complete upgrading your virtual machine." Obviously, I can't do that! Is there any way I can get into the Windows Recovery Console to try and fix the disk read error issue? Do I need to downgrade to Parallels 3.0 to somehow do this? Thanks for the advice! dreadthenight, Jan 3, 2012 #1 strells Product Expert Messages: 548 The Parallels message is just telling you that you need to install Parallels tools in the VM. It can be safely ignored for now. The VM should continue to boot fine without installing tools. Press command+option to release the mouse and be able to switch back and forth between the VM and your Mac until you've fixed things and can install Parallels tools.
