    Hi,

    today I moved my Boot Camp partition to a new SSD drive. I created a new VM in Parallels and chose to use Boot Camp partition with it.

    When starting the VM via Parallels, everything works smoothly as expected. But, when I try to boot my iMac directly to Boot Camp, I get the Windows startup screen (scrolling bar), and after couple of seconds the screen goes blank, and the machine reboots itself without any error message.

    So I'm not able to use Boot Camp at all for the moment. I've seen discussion about similar behavior on older (3+) versions of Parallels, but not with latest one.

    My setup:

    - Parallels 6.0.11992
    - OS X 10.6.5
    - Windows 7 Home Premium on Boot Camp


    Any tips and hints are appreciated.
