Boot Camp Error on Creation: Error: PRL_ERR_INVALID_ARG (0x80000003)

Hi,

after upgrading to to High Sierra, I was unable to access my Windows Boot Camp Partition using Parallels 12. So I figured, since Parallels 13 is suppose to be ready for High Sierra, I would buy a copy and the problem should be solved.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. With Parallels 13 I get the following Error Code:
Error: PRL_ERR_INVALID_ARG (0x80000003)

As well as a message that reads "A disk configuration error has occurred. Make sure that you have read/write permissions for the disk.".

I tried to find information about this code on the internet, though without any success so far.
Does anyone else have this problem, or knows how to fix it?
With High Sierra, my Mac's macOS partition was converted to the new APFS, as it is stored on an SSD. Could this be a factor?

Thank you in advance for replying!

Same problem as others - Currently on Sierra; upgraded from Desktop 11 to Desktop 13; unable to create VM from existing, functioning Bootcamp partition.

Hello
I also downgraded, v12 didn't work on the betas but does on final.
Obviously id like to use 13 which has official high sierra support and its additional feature-set.
This will get me going for now, keen on a new release to fix the issue

Thanks for the tip Dennis.

I just downloaded Parallels 12 and it's working too.

When i initially installed version12 and tried to re-create a VM (was asked to delete my original VM to solve the V13 problems) i got a similar error as version 13. I then disabled SIP protection and that sorted the problem.

So for now, V12 of Parallels is working...!

Ticket ID: Parallels #2452632

I just got a response from Technical support about the SIP, which I new about and did before submitting a support request.
I've disabled and enabled the SIP w/ no affect. Everything was fine up until last night, and I am running High Sierra. Last night I updated to Windows 10 Fall Creator, and everything went south!

"Failed to configure the Boot Camp partition's hard disk."

Error: PRL_ERR_INVALID_ARG (0x80000003)
Path: '/Users/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/Parallels/My Boot Camp.pvm/APPLE SSD SM0512G (disk0).hdd'

I really don't want to have to wipe the drive and start from scratch, but it's looking like the only way....ugh!

Not so, Alfena!

I have the latest and greatest, 13.1.0, have done everything mentioned everywhere . . . still no joy. Parallels keeps insisting there's an error trying to create the VM (Failed to configure the Boot Camp partition's hard disk. A disk configuration error has occurred. Make sure that you have read/write permissions for the disk.) Permissions are all set via Boot Camp/MacOS, with no way to change them that I can find.

Like everyone else, I am pretty desperate to get this resolved, as I have work to get done and I need this!
