Absolutely horrid support

This is ridiculous. Any time I make a chance in the VM config and restart, it can't connect to the Boot Camp drive. I'm on my 5th new VM today.

 

Found the problem.

-Edit /Users/<user>/Documents/Parallels/<VM Name>.pvm/config.pvs
-In the <hdd> section, find <SystemName>
-Change "/dev/disk0" or a similar value to the full path of the disk image in the same directory. In my case it was "/Users/<USER>/Documents/Parallels/My Boot Camp.pvm/Hitachi HTS############.hdd"
-Restart the VM

Why does this get overridden every time I edit the config in Parallels?

 

Thanks for figuring that out. I need to try that when I get home tonight!

Though, I am using Bootcamp - so I'll have to be careful.

I tried to reconfigure the boot camp vm to try and get it to see the right disk, but it certainly won't change anything in the GUI - hacking the file is a good idea.

 

Didn't work for me

Hi:

I tried Jason's trick for fixing broken bootcamps, but sadly it did not work for me. I deleted the config and re-created from scratch. I guess the trick for now is to never edit your bootcamp/VM configuration once it is created....
