    the thing is, i can start windows in boot camp with no problem at all. i have also tried to reinstall parallels, but that didn't work. will it really make any difference to go through the repair procedure?

    OK, Badsandwich, let's try the following then:

    1. Open your Boot Camp virtual machine.
    2. Open Configuration Editor
    3. In the Resource list, click Hard Disk.
    4. In the hard disk settings pane, click the Advanced tab.
    5. In the Cleanup Boot Camp Partition area, click the Clear button.

    Create a new Boot Camp virtual machine and try using it.

    Best regards,
