Win7 VM won't boot on Parallels 11, but will on 10

[RobInAz]

I upgraded from Parallels desktop 10 today to Parallels Desktop 11 (did the pro version in case that makes a difference).
My windows 7 VM will not boot. It gives me an error of "Cannot find operating system".
If I reinstall PD10, it works just fine. If I then try to upgrade to PD11, it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? I tried re-setting the HD image, but that didn't seem to help.

If the version file is ok then it work properly. I think there may be a case of file missing.

I had the same problem. Changing the disk location from SATA 1:0 to SCSI 0:0 fixed it for me. VM booted immediately after making that change, with no other changes.

Hi RobertK3, just tried your solution but it didn't work for me.

I changed from Sata 1:0 to IDE 0:0 and it is now working for me as well.

It worked with IDE 0:1
