Parallels An Error Occurred While Accessing The Hard Disk 0
a MacBook Pro which was running Windows XP in Parallels 3.0. For some unknown reason Parallels would no longer boot Windows and the error the virtual hard disk 0 has wrong access permissions or is used with another virtual machine. 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
Parallels No Boot Device Is Available
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 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 parallels support number 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, system crash or unstable power supply. File system or any other system file may have become corrupted. Make a backup of the virtual machine, even though it does not start. Copy the .PVM file (/User/Documents/Parallels/VM_NAME.pvm) to the external drive or other safe location.
