    Hello,

    I'm running Mac OS 10.8. I decided to try Parallels but realized it was way too slow (I heard it's recommended to have a 8GB RAM to run it flawlessly). First, I shut down BootCamp (Windows 8) inside Parallels then I quit Parallels on Mac. The following day, I restart BootCamp in Parallels and it automatically starts Autorecovery and diagnosing which doesn't work. At the end I choose to continue to Windows but it failed. Back to Mac, I uninstall Parallels but still can't access Windows. Disk Utility says BootCamp is not bootable and in the Log file produced by Windows (I still can access my files through Mac OS), I see auto recovery doesn't find any issues (seems like it's why it can't fix the issue).
    I don't have windows 8 dvd (I upgraded from 7 by download and I don't have that 7's DVD anymore either).
    I have tried Windows Recovery, Refresh, Restore, Troubleshooting... all the options offered by Windows but nothing worked.
    HELP PLEASE!!!
