    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

    Did you search for .hdd files?

    You can also try third party data recovery software to restore deleted file like Data Rescue 2
