Parallels 2.0 0r 3.0 driver

The hard drive on my 2006 MacBook crashed. It was replaced by an Apple certified firm in Des Moines, IA. They restored the system from my external hard drive backup.
The Macbook came with Parallels and Windows Home version installed.
Now, Parallels won't open. It says it can't find a driver and wants me to insert the disk. I have no disk for this application.
I'm hoping someone has an old disk (Version 2 or 3) available, willing to help me out.
Please advise. Thanks!

Youll need to contact Parallels support or post on the Parallels forums. Apple Discussions only provide support for Apple products.

OsXnut, who was that Apple certified firm you worked with in Des Moines when your MacBook crashed? I'd like to contact them for support as well. Thanks.

That is a Do It Yourself hard drive replacement. OWC Macsales has video and sells a kit plus most crashed drives are not bad sectors that need to be mapped out, though laptop drives do have more early drive deaths due to heat.

A good dose of Disk Warrior is sometimes all that is needed, though not cheap up front.

And a good reason to keep bootable clones as backups.
