Windows 10 does not boot from bootcamp but boots from Parallels

Hello everybody,

I have a MacBook Pro with touchbar, I had installed Windows 10 through bootcamp & I installed last Sunday parallels 13.

Everything worked fine (i.e. I could normally run W10 through the bootcamp partition AND run W10 through MacOS via parallels) until yesterday when I assume some updates installed themselves.

Ever since: a. the parallels vm works fine, b. when I try to boot through bootcamp partition it is stuck rebooting on & on...

I have tried:
1.Uninstalling all updates through parallels.
2.Used a usb recovery drive to try & fix the problem: I tried the "startup repair" but it failed saying it "couldn't repair" my PC.
3.Also when using the usb recovery drive, if I select close pc I get a stopcode CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT error.
4. I have tried but was not able to activate it in safe mode. I tried both holding the shift key and (by connecting a keyboard to the MacBook) holding F8. Nothing ends me up to Safe Mode.

I need to be able to boot from bootcamp (there's a professional software I use that will not function properly through parallels).

ANY idea or suggestion is welcomed.

 

OK so I went to the vm, I chose RESET & then I had the same problem on parallels!!!
Blue screen, chose "startup repair", it failed & then it restarted (always on parallels) & then gladly it works again on parallels.

Now when I try to boot from bootcamp I get the Inaccessible Boot Device error.

I have properly shut down the vm from parallels.

Any ideas?

 

Hi NikolaosK3,

I have the same problem I think..
All worked perfectly. the VM still works but when I need to start win10 on bootcamp I have the blue screen with the stop code : inaccessible boot device.

Still any ideas how to solve that? I am using some software which doesn't work on the vm so really need to boot on win10...

 

Hello, all, i have the same problem, did anybody manage to get it working?

 

Hello NikolaosK3, Please follow http://bit.ly/1rhhTe9 to locate the virtual machine file on the Mac (it is a file with the extension '.pvm'). Once you see it, take note of its size and reply with the same.

Hello, I have the same problem. Windows 10 works fine from Parallels but it doest't work any more from bootcamp.

 

Was there any resolution to this? I am having the same issue.
