Need help! Corrupt HDD
This afternoon Parallels kernel paniced on my mac. (It was a parallels with 1 snapshot included)
1. After reboot I got the message "... was used by another application..."
2. I followed article 4938 (remove the .lck file)
3. I then received the message "HDD file is missing, corrupted, or used by another application
4. I followed article 4680 -> no go!
5. tried with snapshot manager to return to state of the snapshot -> no go!
6. found out that DiskDescriptor.xml was empty; made now empty hdd on external disk -> copy the diskdescriptor.xml to problematic hdd-package -> no go!
7. edited xml-file with GUID's and ParentGUID's -> Parallels Desktop opens, but shows message that there is no Operating System on my VM
Hereby my xml:
8. tried Parallels Explorer to view contents of HDD -> no go!
As I trusted the snapshot, I have no other backups... How can I retrieve my data back!!!!
Please advice...?
Sincerely,
Sofie
