    Last week my hd died, ive made backups so i have the .pvm file of the previous parallels documents.
    Now im trying to open it on another mac but i run in to lots of problems.


    1 I copy a 621mb file to my mac, and somehow it turns all of a sudden in to a 2.2mb file!!
    2 Somehow i cant mount the pvm file. I get this "Mounter is unable to browse virtual disc" message.

    So what can be wrong here?
    What can i do to access the files of my previous parallels windows documents folder??

    thanks a lot

    Hello HarryN,
    621 MB file size for virtual machine seems not to be a valid VM and too small for installed OS, my guess is the VM got corrupted. Are there any other backups to try to mount?
