For some unknown reason Parallels would no longer boot Windows and the error given was "A disk read error occurred." I upgraded Parallels to 7.0 hoping that would provide
Prl_err_disk_read_failed Parallels Errno 35
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 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 the virtual hard disk 0 has wrong access permissions or is used with another virtual machine. 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. Steve strells, Jan 5, 2012 #2 dreadthenight Messages: 6 Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I can do much of anything... very soon after booting the VM I get the "A disk read error occurred" error and I don't think I can send any commands to the VM at that point? Is there some special way to get into the Windows recovery console so I can try and fix the MBR? dreadthenight, Jan 7, 2012 #3 Dasha.L Messages: 8 Hi This can be caused by improper shut down of the virtual machine, syste

Tags: Hard Drives Disk Read Error Storage Last response: 2 April 2011 22:05 in Storage Share pbarney 17 June 2009 22:13:43 This is one of the most frustrating error messages you can ever deal with. Sometimes the fix is simple, sometimes it's a complete pain. Having recently dealt with this again, I thought I'd post my thoughts in the hopes that it helps someone else out there. So you receive the dreaded "a disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". Multiple restarts result in the same error message. If you put your drive into another computer, or connecting it as a slave on your own computer, it will typically work fine, and no data is missing. Because this error is not usually associated with data loss, DO NOT RE-PARTITION THE DRIVE. Your data is likely safe and sound. Here's how we'll recover your data. Try each step below, in order, and see if your drive becomes accessible after each step. In my experience, you won't start seeing results until step 5 or so. 1. Run CHKDSK /R /P from the recovery console (it will typically find no error) 2. run FIXBOOT from recovery console (typically has no result) 3. run FIXMBR from recovery console (typically has no result) 4. Run the manufacturer's diagnostic utility, downloaded from their website (it will typically find no error) 5. Changing the drives from cable select to Master/Slave may fix it. 6. Replacing the data cable may fix it, but usually not. 7. Setting the BIOS to use defaults may fix it, but usually not. 8. Changing the BIOS drive settings from auto to user-specified, ensuring that LBA is selected may fix it. 9. Pulling the CMOS battery to let the BIOS lose it settings may work. At this point, you may be feeling some frustration. :-) If all that fails, here's what will usually work: Ghost your data to a new d
