    When a open parallels and I try to open windows...

    Unable to connect to Hard Disk 1
    Afile or device required for the operation of Hard Disk 1 does not exist or is used by another process, or you have no permission to access it. The virtual machine will continue running but the device will be disconnected.

    I have Parallels for mac 6 and windows 7 professional and lion.

    I have to open windows because there is a work file i need!

    I have a backup on time capsule but it doesn't start...

    please help me!!!!!

    Windows may be corrupted. To access file go to /User/Documents/Parallels/
    locate you virtual machine .pvm file and open with Parallels Mounter - the C: drive will be mounted to Finder

    Same problem. I suppose there is no alternative but to do a complete reinstall of Windows?

    In case Windows Restore does not work - the only option is to restore data (use steps provided above) and reinstall Windows.
