Crickets are the only noises coming from Parallels Support...

[DrSkywalker]

The inter web seems to be replete with tales of Disappearing Boot Camp VMs and Boot Camp partitions that are invisible to installer. Those of us who are now crippled and unable to use Windows on our Macs are now spending hours and hours trying to figure out workarounds and solutions. Yet we hear nothing from Parallels other than "escalation" and "fixed on future updates". Not reassuring in the slightest. I'll be looking for refunds - how about you?

Hi, @DrSkywalker,

As a workaround, please check out the steps mentioned below:

1. Disable System Integrity Protection (SIP).

2. Restart the Mac, on Apple logo loading screen press CMD + R to boot into Recovery.

3. In Recovery, on Mac menu bar locate Utilities menu > open Terminal application.

4. Type in the commands below one-by-one:

csrutil disable

5. reboot
6. Back in a normal mode remove the existing machine or create the new one, depending on the customer's scenario.

7. Boot macOS into Recovery again and enable SIP back running the following Terminal commands:

csrutil enable

8. reboot

Thanks. Will try tomorrow and report.

This worked perfectly with my MBPro 15 2016 with High Sierra! Thanks! That was a trying week.
