Annoying problem:

Macbook Pro running 10.11.4
Windows 8.1 installed on Ironkey USB (provided by work)
Latest Parallels desktop s/w - ver 11.1.3

All was working great up until a week ago (and indeed the USB still works 100% when I boot directly off it on my Windows laptop)

Now when i attempt to start the guest windows session I get:

Shortly followed by:

Hello Gavie,
Please check your Windows virtual machine boot order sequence,in the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog, click Hardware > Boot Order, and configure the USB device to be the first boot device.

I didn't do it personally - it was provided to me pre-installed by my client to access their secure network.

Ah ok, I see. What I'm curious to know, is if yours did initially work because you're using a certified usb drive, or for some other reason.
My settings are as above too.

That's the really frustrating bit - it worked perfectly for the last few months. The only change has been an Apple O/S update but I can't see anything in the release notes that would cause this problem.
