No boot device is available

[Shubha]

I purchased parallels desktop and installed but I got a message that No boot device os available, press Enter to continue". I tried several times, same message. What's the problem? I tried to install windows 7 but I could not install. I spent substantial time to figure it out but no luck . Any suggestions?

Hello Shubha, Please refer to this article to install Windows virtual machine and in the Windows Product Key window, leave Express installation selected. If the issue persists, please try with the alternate installation source.
