    I moved all the files from /documents/parallel/myxpinstallation to another folder.
    Now everytime I start Parallels, it starts with the nice (but not needed) installation assistent. If I cancel, Parallels exits.

    I would love to cancel the assistent and choose the location of my installations HDD manually. How do I do that?

    Of course, I renamed the folder structure back to what it was but parallel still does not let me start - it always pops up the installation assistand...

    Any ideas?

    Hello,

    try to access your guest OS directly via its .pvs file.

    Best regards,
    Alicia.

    Foebber, does it just not open? Is there any error message?

    You can create a new VM and, while creating, choose "use existing .hdd file".

    Best regards,
    Alicia.
