Recovering Files from Parallels Image
Posted: 05 Nov 2013, 02:16
Hi everyone,
I recently discovered my instance of Windows XP that is virtualized under Parallels Desktop Version 6 is corrupt and will not open. I discovered that photorec may be able to help obtain the files within the Windows XP image. My questions is how do I successfully do this? If I open up the contents of my Windows XP.pvm file, I see a Windows XP-0.hdd. Is this the file I want? Also, I am very new to unix, so what is the proper command that I need to provide photorec? Thanks!
