Getting error "no boot device installed"

mkmac07

Bit poster
I have been able to boot Windows in Parallels with no problems before, but now, when I try to boot, it gives me this error:

"Currently opened virtual machine does not include any boot devices. In order to be successfully booted the virtual machine should have at least one of the following devices attached: floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, CD/DVD-ROM drive.

Do you want to power on this virtual machine anyway?"

I know that I have boot devices installed, since I have had success before in using the program.

Please help!
 
Hello mkmac07
Make sure, what your boot options are : "Hard Disk, CD-ROM, Floppy"

Ankou, thanks for replying. I have a similar problem to mkmac07. I'm trying to use my Boot Camp install but when I try to start up windows I get a message saying

"Boot from hard drive... No boot device installed. Press Enter to continue".

When I press Enter I get a Parallels message popup saying "There is no operating system installed in the virtual machine. Please do the following: ...................."

My boot options are already "Hard Disk, CD-ROM, Floppy" but I still have the problem I just mentioned.
 
Hello s_kollipara
Please provide more information about your Mac
What build of Parallels are you running?
