Parallel suddenly cannot find bootcamp disk

[chenaz]

My parallel suddenly cannot find my boot camp hard disk . I tried to located manually without source and manually assign the boot camp disk. But cannot find in the hard disk 1 setting. I can boot up windows normally by pressing the option button or see the boot camp partition at disk utility .

Anyone has any clues ?

Are you on the latest version of parallels?
IIRC the one prior to the release of El Capitan is incompatible because of System Integrity Protection

I am on parallel 10 with latest OSx . My gf's MacBook Pro also facing the same issue

Means no way I can add back boot camp unless I upgrade to new parallel?

yea. Seems like. I also tried the method some of the ppl suggested.

Anyone knows if I migrate boot camp to virtual box. Am I still be able to boot up windows itself? Or after migration, I can only boot up windows from virtual box

how do u intend to migrate to virtualbox? take a backup in Windows then restore in virtualbox?

 

[chenaz]

I went to online and search. They can can not boot up from boot camp itself if I mount the windows to virtual box. Damn.

Initially is to I mount then Donnoe what from online then Donnoe what again. Now can forget it already. Unless I install new windows in virtual box.

ya virtualbox doesn't have that feature in parallels where u can mount directly from bootcamp. u prob need to take a Windows backup in bootcamp, setup a new Windows VM in virtualbox then restore that backup...

 

[chenaz]

Oh I didn't know we can do that. I will try that when I reach home.

after days of trying converting a machine to a virtual machine. i failed doing so.
in the end just download a cracked PD11 and solved the problem haha.
they fixed this in pd11 but not PD10. forcing us to upgrade. what a money driven company.
