Add my voice to this request. Win 7 64-bit giving a BSD with every shutdown after upgrade to P9. It looks like iaStor.sys is the problem in my BSDs.

I found a Utility that decodes that minidump you get from a BSD and it seem the "iaStor.sys" driver is the culpret every time. Now I need to research this here and see if I can figure this out. By the way, the windows app I found that decyphers the minidump is called: BlueScreenView. I found a...

Windows likes to update itself all the time, and when I leave the VM running it seems that every night Windows is installing updates and rebooting Win7. Unfortunately, every restart begins with a shutdown and I get a BSD (blue screen of death) with every shutdown. Windows restarts fine - but...

Just use a pre-update backup of your PVM. One of my "steps" was following a knowledge base suggestion of a way to fix the problem that didn't work and made my VM not boot. So, no need to attempt that. It seems that the P8 update was damaged when the new Tools that came with the update failed to...

Updating this. So, I followed all the KB articles on this that I could. I finally tried the "Most Difficult" fix which was opening the .pvm file with parallels monitor. As expected two HD (C & D) from my windows install were mounted and on my desktop. I found the prl-tools-win folder in my P9...

Just tried again disconnecting and then reconnecting the Tools ISO Here's the result again:

I've been running Parallels 8 and Win 7 Home on my iMac for a couple of years. No really issues or problems. Then yesterday, there was an "update" to P8. The update went fine and when Windows started Parallels Tools started to upgrade as well. This failed. The Tools installation agent...

I was making some changes to my VM configuration settings in Parallels 8 the other day and lost the ability to drag files from my Win 7 desktop into my Mac desktop. It used to be that when I did this the file would automatcially be copied to my mac and still exist on my win VM. Also, when I copy...

That worked fine. I ran the repair function and it took a long time but repaired a few index errors and checked everything out. I then reran it just to be safe and it came up 100% clean. So, now when I reboot the VM I don't get the BSOD or the chkdsk running and looping. Thanks for your help...

I had the DVD drive connected to the parallels tools ISO. So, I reconnected it to the DVD drive and it booted from the install disk. I used the repair function to get to a command prompt and I'm running chkdsk right now with /r flag set. It's finding the errors and fixing them right now. So...

I put the Win 7 disk in the superdrive. I set the VM to boot from the DVD first, and it failed and said there was no boot device in the cd drive. Yes, it's a legit Win 7 DVD and it even has a boot folder on it. I didn't expect this result. But then, that's par for the course with computers.

Don't worry, I wasn't going to reboot the Mac. I have 30 years of PC experience and switched to Mac about 18 months ago. VMs are relatively new to me. But I'm very computer literate and run dozens of websites on my own linux box, too.

Yes, I see. I'm not to reboot to the DVD. Just run it to access chkdsk from it. Correct? No, wait, I think you did say to change the boot order to the DVD first. So, I guess I am restarting from the DVD.

The windows pvm file creates the windows HD though correct? How can running something outside of the VM check the disk created by the pvm. I'm sure I'm using incorrect terminology. When searching the windows help forums for the BSOD errors I'm getting solutions point to bad intel drivers for...

I used the OSX disk utility to verify the entire Mac disk and found zero errors or problems. But the Win7 disk on the VM still has indexing errors that need to be addressed. Is there anyway to boot to a dos prompt outside of windows to run chkdsk /r or similar disk check utility?

Really? I never would have thought that. Do it with the VM started or not?

I'm having issues the the VM Win7 that's running in my Parallels DT 8 on my iMac. Windows crashes when CHKDSK is running with the /r repair command. When I run CHKDSK without the /r command it finds a number of errors with the file indexes in step two of the chkdsk process. After finding a...

For the past few months I get a BSD (Blue Screen of Death) on every reboot/start/restart of my Win 7 install in Parallels 8 desktop for Mac. Worse the BSD sets a CHKDSK requirement on boot up and Chkdsk creates another BSD during the 2nd step in the 3-step Chkdsk process. This is probably...

I have a UMI.INI file - it's in a different folder than you suggested, but then you mentioned only XP and Vista and I'm on Win7 64-bit. It's located in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Pinnacle\Program Files (x86)\Pinnacle\Studio 12\Programs It is odd for there to even be a "Program Files (x86)"...

Thanks, I'll gave that a try. I ended up creating a Bootcamp install of Win7 and installing my Pinnacle software there. It works fine that way. But it's not as convenient. I have tried the work around of closing the IRQ warning, but no matter what I try I've not been able to get Studio 12...
