I just got my first mac last week and yesterday got parallels 11 pro.
Followed instructions to install parallels and migrated windows...took 21 hours to migrate and then looked like windows was starting up, but said its configuring windows 7 for virtual machine..then an startup repair error saying I tried to cancel the operation, but I didnt, then more errors and back to the configuring and over n over again with same thing...see screenshots.
I am new to macs so maybe I am doing something wrong?
The windows 7 on my pc was preinstalled and the install disk is installed as a hidden partition on the hdd, so not sure how I could use that to reinstall windows in the vm.
My mac is newest late 2015 imac running osx 10.11.2 el capitan and is a 4.2ghz core i7 with 24gb ram. I was trying to install/migrate the win7 to an external 2tb hdd dedicated for the windows.
Ive searched the knowledgebase but cant find any solution.
