Good morning from Istanbul! I'm a writer, up against a Monday deadline and experiencing something of a meltdown with my Parallels suddenly disappearing off my Mac. Yesterday evening - after shutting down the Parallels and fiddling around in the System Restore to try to enlarge the virtual hard disk space - I restarted Parallels and was told that there was no hard disk anymore. The message I got was: The virtual Hard Disk 1 image file /Users/iason/Documents/Parallels/Microsoft Windows XP/disk0.hdd could not be found! I can't believe that I erased it as I'm sure that I would have been sent a message of some kind and believe there must be a pretty simple way of solving this. However, for the time being I'm stumped. Any advice would be extremely welcome. All best, Iason
