I have successfully moved my bootcamp install to a partition on my external Samsung T7 drive and configured Parallels to boot to the drive. I am able to boot to the T7, however, it takes a bit of babysitting. Here are the current steps i am using to boot to my T7, assuming the drive is already connected.
1. Unmount all partitions on the external drive
2. Launch virtual machine
3. Error message displays: "The disk "Samsung T7 (PSSD T7)" cannot be connected because another device is using it. [Click OK]
4. Prompt: Press any key to enter boot device menu... [Press AnyKey]
5. Select "EFI Hard Drive" from the list [Enter]
6. VM Boots without issue.
I am hoping there is a way to simplify at least the boot process so that the VM can boot to the drive automatically without steps 3-5.
Any help would be appreciated.
