    Hi,

    I'm running Sierra, by mistake I click eject in finder next to Windows C Drive. It used to show up as I needed to access files.
    I realize my mistake rebooted windows VM and also Mac no luck.
    In Knowledge base it says to go in sharing tick share windows drive and untick and reboot I did that and no luck.
    I checked my mac finder pref and it is selected to show all drives and all external drives.
    One of the Knowledge base says to right click on windows.pvm file and open with Parallel Mount application I don't have any such application.

    Would really appreciate if someone can help.

    Hi @DinoN, please start your virtual machine and go to Action - >Reinstall Parallels Tools to fix it.

    Try quitting Parallels Desktop and restart the Mac then check.
