"Access denied" when attempting to start vmplayer image migrated from windows 7 to window 8 in parallel.

Hello,

 

I originally built and used a windows 2008 vmplayer image on a windows 7 box and it worked great. I wanted to migrate to a different machine running mac, with windows 8 running in parallels.

 

I copied the over the "Windows 2008" virtual machine folder to the new vitual machine folder on the windows 8 box running in parallels on Mac.  This is what i get.

 

First Prompt:

"This virtual machine appears to be in use. If this virtual machine is not in use, press "Take Ownership" button to obtain ownership of it.  Otherwise, press "Cancel" button to avoid damaging it.

 

I click "Take Ownership"

 

Next Prompt:

"Failed to open virtual machine:  Taking ownership of this virtual machine failed.  A serious error occured: Permission Denied."

 

Is there some pre-configuration I need to do to get this working right?

 

Thanks!

Brian
