Can't boot to Win 10 on Mac

[SteveW4]

I have just upgraded to ver 12.
I have a virtual win 10 machine on a usb external drive that works okay.
I have now created a bootcamp windows 10 installation that works as I can boot into windows from startup.
When I create a new virtual machine for the bootcamp I simply get the Dos prompt and it dose not boot.

Any ideas where to start?

@SteveW4 Hi. Have you tried steps as suggested in this article ? If so, Stop (or) Shut-down Windows > access config > Hardware > Hard Disk 1 > expand Advanced settings > Location > change it to IDE 0:0 or 0:1 & so forth and check if Windows boots. Keep us posted with the results when you perform these steps.

The article is suggesting a repair is needed on the drive but I can boot directly into windows,

I am changing the drives and testing now.

@SteveW4 Before you perform that, also try the next set of steps suggested and keep us posted.

The partitions are confusing.
Partition1 .2 gb
Partition 2 168.9 gb

Bootcamp 181.34 gb

Which should I point to sata4 failed

 

[Karthik@Parallels]

You'll need to modify it in Parallels configuration as suggested. I also suggest saving a backup before you perform these steps.

Same problem with each drive selected.
All the IDE and all the sata

Same booting screen

e.g.

I have added an new install of Windows onto parallels and that works.

What next ?

Hi Guys,

I got a remote support session.

The installation had stalled.

They deleted the bootcamp and reinstalled and it worked.
