    Hey all,

    I need help getting my registry recovered
    I was at work, and tried to install a "network printer driver"
    and appearently it corrupted the registry, now i can't boot from xp
    "at all" in parallels.

    I was wondering, is there a way to read the contents of the virutal disk at all?
    As I have some important work on there that I "really" need, otherwise I wouldn't
    sweat it and just reinstall.

    I get the following error when it tries to boot:

    (see attachment 1)

    Thanks in advance,

    The hard disk image is in a .hdd file next to the .pvs file that is your VM configuration. Save the .hdd file somewhere, and after creating a new VM, add that .hdd file as the second HDD for the new VM.
