    Hiya.

    I get
    "Unable to connect Hard Disk 0" error when I use Parallels 12 with Windows 10 Bootcamp after updating from Sierra to High Sierra. Additionally I can't seem to shut down the VM as it is in an endless startup loop, which means I can't change settings for Parallels Desktop. Anyone has a work around for this?

    I can't seem to find anything on it.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

    Cheers,
    Henrik

    Thanks for the response!

    I tried it out and could only get it to work with keeping SIP disabled. This is not ideal. Is it a way to do it without disabling SIP? I recently bought Parallels 12 and I don't really feel like paying out again so soon for an upgrade when 12 was working fine.

    Again thanks for your help.

    Hello HenrikG1, as of now this is the workaround for Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac. We have already forwarded the request to the Engineering team and we will let you know once we have an update regarding this. Thanks!

    I have also encountered this problem using PD12. SIP has to be disabled for my Win10 VM in Bootcamp to work. Any update fix for me? Thanks.

    But I have no licence for PD13. I only have licence key for PD12. How can I update?

    Is Parallels going to support version 12 for this problem or do we need to pay for 20 licenses we have with the same problem that its been close to a year, even when some of the licenses had less that 2 months bought.
    Please give us some feedback
