    Hi...

    I have download parallels desktop 8 trial, and i'm trying to create a virtual machine of my windows 8 from bootcamp.
    But i'm having problems, after starting it tries to configure the machine and then gives me a blue screen.
    This blue screen is the restoration screen.
    I don't know why i can't start windows 8.

    My trial is almost finishing, i only have 8 days to experience the software in order to decide if i buy or not, if doesn't work of course i will not buy. =S

    Hi RicardoSantos,

    From what I can see on the screenshots, Windows 8 installation went wrong in the VM for some reason.
    Are you using a CD to install it?
    I'd recommend to try
    1. Making the ISO image out of your CD: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4917
    2. Attach it to the VM: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4653
    3. Create a new Windows VM: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4729

    I've also sent you another 14 day trial key in the PM so that you could continue using Parallels Desktop till you succeed to create a virtual machine.

    Hi Andrew, thanks for the support.

    The steps that i had followed were:

    1. I had Installed windows 8 trough bootcamp ( with a ISO image of windows )
    2. Then i Installed Parallels desktop 8
    3. And Then I create a VM from bootcamp

    but when i'm trying to start the VM machine for the first time (when it tries to configure and update bootcamp) it gives me this error.
    Am i doing something wrong?

    My goal is to use the windows that i have installed in bootcamp *.*

    Thanks for the new trial... i will only insert after you reply again =)
