Hi,

I was unable to start my boot camp virtual machine. So I tried deleting and re-adding it. It gave me this message.

Error: PRL_ERR_DISK_FILE_OPEN_ERROR (0x80021014)

Path: '/Users/ryannair/Documents/Parallels/Boot Camp.pvm/APPLE SSD SM0512F (disk0).hdd'

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi. I'm using Parallels 11 for Mac. I just started facing the issue, but I hadn't turn on Parallels for some time. I updated to High Sierra when the update was released.

Hi @RyanN2, Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac is not fully support on macOS High Sierra and you cannot start/run create a new BootCamp based virtual machine with the high Sierra BootCamp guest. We would suggest you to try a trial of Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac and check how it works.

So my only choice is to upgrade? Wow... a $50 cost, which is worth $200 in my currency, just to continue using a product I had already bought for a very high price.

Yes! @RyanN2, please note that Parallels Desktop 11 and 12 only partially support working in macOS High Sierra environment due to technical reasons and the following issues can occur:
1. Inability to create a virtual machine with High Sierra guest OS
2. Issues with creating a Boot Camp based virtual machine
3. Graphics artifacts
4. Coherence windows might appear under macOS ones
5. Issues with starting a virtual machine and shared applications
To avoid these issues we recommend to upgrade to Parallels Desktop 13 or higher.
