i am new to parallels and I installed it and tried to run windows 7 and I get to a black screen that reads:

bootmgr is missing
press control+atl+delete to restart

any suggestions?
 
Is your Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition or virtual hard disk?

Does your Windows 7 partition contain a file called bootmgr in the root folder? If the partition is a Boot Camp partition then you should see it in the Finder when the virtual machine is not running. If it's a virtual hard disk then you can right click the virtual hard disk or virtual machine and select Open with Parallels Mounter.

The Windows 7 disk should contain at least the following:
Boot (folder)
bootmgr (file)
Program Files (folder)
Windows (folder)

Maybe the Windows installer put Boot and bootmgr on a different disk?
 
Same problem. Late 2008 macbook. Window 7 64-bit install. Not bootcamp. Anyway to uninstall and start again?
