My iMac Fusion drive crashed. Apple replaced it. I used time machine backup to restore but it did not restore Windows completely so the HDD 1 not found error shows up. Original setup for Windows (7) on the iMac was through Boot Camp. Subsequently, I purchased Parallels as it was more convenient access to Windows and installed Parallels using Boot Camp Windows installation. Time Machine backups were done regularly with no VM exclusions.

Time Machine backup seems to be in tact and not corrupted and I can restore any date from the timeline but it does not run Windows. I am not concerned about running windows from the "My Boot Camp.pvm" restore but for the documents in that file which I cannot seem to see to extract.

I currently have OS Yosemite but had a prior OS doing the backups. I wonder if that has anything to do with viewing the files.
I would really appreciate any help.
