Restore image w/ R-Drive Image on Parallels Desktop doesnt show destination drives

Post by peppe77 » Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:45 pm

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.

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 ...

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.)

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?
