    Hi everyone,

    So I have an external USB 3 enclosure with a SSD inside that is running a Bootcamp installation. I am fairly sure that it uses EFI, and it has 2 partitions on it. The EFI boot partition, and the Windows installation partition.

    NOTHING that I do can make Parallels work with it to boot it up. I've tried selecting a different partition, enabling EFI, and all I get is either. Trying to boot from SATA drive 1... (then nothing happens). or an EFI error.

    Does anyone have some ideas? Thanks!

    Parallels 13. The setup worked in Parallels 12. I just got Winclone and it has a Change to Legacy feature that I am going to try. I'll report back when/if its successful.
