Frankly, I don't quite understand what you were doing.
My understanding is the you installed R-Drive Image on Parellels and tried what? Mount an RDR image to Paralles? My understanding it that you also have R-Studio. Can you load this image into R-Studio and see what's in this image?

Bad news. The restore of the image shows the same error when trying to mount it with Disk Utility on MacOS, with message:

Could not mount “DISKNAME”. (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49217.)

:((((

Made a little progress on this.
First of all, it was possible to install R-Image on Parallels on a MacBook Pro, running MacOS Ventura.

Then I fuddled around w/ mounting the rdr image and trying to inspect the APFS image using Paragon, then MacDrive, w/o success!
Later, I reformatted the destination drive to FAT. Still not visible in R-Image Restore as a destination disk.

More forth and back, changed sharing options on the drives etc.
After a while the Restore feature allowed me to select the empty USB drive as destination disk.
Estimated time left... 1 day 15 hours :)))

Let's see if the drive is readable, after all this work and wait ... hopefully ...

Hi,
I am on a Mac. Windows runs on a Parallels Desktop installation.
Opened R-Drive Image (7.2), and selected my source rdr image.
However, as destination the USB drives I want to select (with size 2 TB) does not appear.
Tried to format it as MacOS Extended as well as NTFS.
Any idea?
Thx.
