I was using WinXP with Parallels 7 with no problem whatsoever... So due to some apps and dev things requiring me to upgrade to Win 8, I decided to upgrade Parallels as well.
I lost my WinXP virtual HDD after upgrading and trying to resize the disk. It simply stopped working....
Ok so I got a month old backup and got everything back up, and this time I installed Win 8 via bootcamp to a new partition. And I made a huge mistake to open the bootcamp as a VM in Parallels 8... Now it won't boot anymore, either from Parallels nor Bootcamp...
It says the /Boot/BCD file is missing or something. I tried some bootrec fixes via command prompt, no dice. It simply won't fix anything, won't boot and always gives me that Boot/BCD error (0xc000000d0)
I hadn't have any replies on my other thread regarding how could I recover my virtual HDD after trying to resize it, but I have some hopes that someone might be able to help me out on this...
Anyways, I feel that I should have sticked with bootcamp all along, all the time I wasted trying to solve things like these would have been to switch boot and get things done the same way... Giving up on Parallels after this, for good.
