    I have a problem and I was wondering if someone could help. I have had my Filevault on for a several months and now I cannot access my Windows HDD. Mac says its corrupted. Other programs at first messed up meaning everything was reset in Firefox, Safari and Itunes. I managed to circumvent those issues. I just cannot fix Parallels. I tried creating a new account with Filevault off and made a copy of the sparseimage and when I reinstalled 3.0, it says the existing image is corrupted. I then tried copying the file from the original account and installing from there, it still says the Windows HDD is corrupted. Anyone have any experience on fixing this?

    Thanks for your help. I got a message when it opened "Error loading operating system" I have been searching the internet for some answers. I believe Parallels has a related topic, but it has something to do with boot camp. I did try creating another one and then replacing with the old one...that didn't help because I got that message. I tried Parallels Explorer, it wont even bring up the .hdd. Still thinking and waisting time trying to figure this out, but I really needs some files from that previous version. Wish there was a way to just open the image and take those files out....but thanks for your help.
