    I have Windows 8 installed on a external drive with bootcamp.
    And I wanted to try out Parallels, so I let the program use the windows that is on bootcamp.

    But after a short while it can't bootup or shutdown.
    It can't find the hard drive to boot from and when trying to shutdown it says something about ntfs.

    And now I can't even start up Parallels due to some reason... =/

    *edit*

    Fixed it after a few tries..
