Hi Maria and Joe, Did you create any snapshots with fusion? A snapshot is a certain moment in time that you captured, when windows was still just fine. Every week, I create a snapshot in fusion, as long as windows is healthy. This way, if something like this does happen, then you can always go back to the latest snapshot, and all you loose, is data from the time the snapshot was taken, until now.
Of course, you can backup windows using its tools, but a snapshot really is a great benefit. So if you did make a snapshot, then simply restore it and you're good to go again. For those interested: at any given time, you can make a snapshot of the current state of windows. It is like a full backup, but done by fusion, and therefore it is blazingly fast, without sacrificing anything a full backup gives you. While windows is off, and you know it's still healthy, just go into the fusion menu bar with VO plus m, go to the right over to virtual machine, and then down to snapshots. Once the dialog opens, use the toolbar to create a snapshot. That's all you need to do to make a full backup of your vm. If you get in trouble, return to this dialog. You'll see a list of previously created snapshots if you made any, and if you select one from that list, just hit restore in the toolbar and windows is back to the state it was in when you took that particular snapshot. Unlike a backup, which takes minutes to restore, restoring windows to a previous fusion snapshot is a matter of seconds. The snapshots are stored in your fusion folder, together with the data that contains your virtual windows. If you see that your snapshots are taking up too much mac disk space, you can easily get rid of them from the fusion interface. Hth, Paul.
