    I have the latest update for Parallel for Mac 8 installed followed the instruction for installation however during the very last stage it will not start window8. Gives error and than gives option to start windows 8 or Windows setup or windows 7. Any ideas how I get it to start windows 8?

    Hi, Fly,
    can you, please, give us vm log file '/Volumes/VMs/My Boot Camp.pvm/parallels.log' ?

    after that try to create another Boot Camp VM located in standard folder '~/Documents/Parallels' and with default settings, and check if it works.

    Also, Parallels Desktop has the option to convert Boot Camp based VM into regular VM,
    see 'Import Boot Camp' option.
