| Is it possible to open a Parallels .hdd-File? I have a not working XP-System in Parallels, but I need some of the files stored in this system. Is there any chances to open this file? Otherwise is there any tool to repair an XP-System? This system stops starting with a blue screen, saying: Session manager initialization failed. So what can I do? Working in the sun sailor  |

| I never worked with them, their competitor VMware has tool to port complete disks, I suppose Parallels does too.

| There's nothing _outside_ of Parallels that can handle these files AFAIK. So looking in Parallels' docu, their website, their forums would be a good start. The easiest way might be to create another virtual machine with Parallels, install an OS there and add the .hdd file as a secondary harddrive. Once you're running XP there and have Parallels Tools installed, you can drag and drop files from the virtual machine to the Mac desktop, for example.
