BootCamp with Parallels 10.

[Baunkjaer]

Yesterday I upgraded my BootCamp drive 120GB > 240GB Kingston V300. I tried WinClone from BootCamp, but that did´t work.
So I reinstalled BootCamp and Windows 8,1 Pro on the new drive. It all runs well from BootCamp, but I can´t get Parallels to work. It worked like a charm with the old drive.
I´ve tried the advice mentioned here:

But I´m still getting this, when I try to create the VM

Help and good ideas are very welcome, thanks.

Log in to windows is just required to install parallels tools. May be you can just quit parallels and then try to boot again on the virtual machine you just created...

I don´t get access to Windows through Parallels. It looks normal when I start the program, but when I hit the "start", it tries to do it´s things, and I end up with something like ss in my first post.

Are you using the legacy bios boot or newer EFI? Please try this and report back.

1. Click on the middle icon on the Control Center Windows just below the double O below the word Boot.
2. Under Hardware tab, select Boot Order on the left side.
3. Now, Boot order should be Hard Disk first (deselect the others)
4. Deselect/Uncheck "Use EFI Boot"
5. Under Hardware tab, select hard Disk 1 on the left side.
6. Select your boot camp disk on the right side and edit partition to select both system and disk (Windows normally will create 2-3 partitions on the same disk where you install Windows OS).

The fix mentioned in #0 enables EFI, so I guess, that´s what I´m using...
Following your little guide, ended up with the same result as earlier

Following Baunkjaer suggestion, when you edit partition on hard disk where is your bootcamp partition, just select this partition, not any other partition, including efi partition..Good luck..
