Blue screen inaccessible boot disk upon new windows 11 install

I am trying to install windows 11 on my Mac. I created a new virtual machine and let parallels auto download the correct windows 11 iso (The issue also occurs if I download the iso image directly from Microsoft), it will go through the process and will eventually start up a virtual machine. When It starts for the first time it will throw a blue screen with an inaccessible boot device and fail. It will close the virtual machine then will reopen it and try install assistant again and fail and continue looping.

I've tried going through a manual setup process and it also fails there. It works fine if I use a very old version of windows 11 however that version throws an error saying im running a very out of date version and need to update and windows update fails to get any updates. Is there any way I can install a current version of windows 11?

Thanks,

 

I have the same challenge. What are the solutions for Windows 11 24H2?

 

The solution is to change the hard drive interface from NVMe to SATA under advanced. Best to do this before starting the Windows installation. Make sure the DVD and hard drive have different SATA locations

 

I have the hard drive interface as SATA:0, DVD drive as sata:1 and dvd drive 2 with the install iso as sata:3 and it still fails with the same error. I tried setting up a new VM and double checked they were set to sata before booting and it still failed. I did try changing the iso from unattended.iso to the windows 11 image and it still failed at the same spot with the same error.

 

The report has been generated and sent. I got the blue screen during boot and created the report generation. "Technical report 483842307 has been sent to Parallels". One thing to note is the issue occurs when I let parallels auto download windows 11 from Microsoft and if I provide my own iso image downloaded directly from Microsoft.

 

Small update, I found a h23h2 version that was in French only. It installed just fine and I was able to boot to the desktop on a clean install. I couldn't change the language to English so I had to delete the virtual machine. I tried multiple times with multiple different configurations and I could not get h24h2 to boot and still got inaccessible boot disk. Parallels still downloads h24h2 when you try to set it up so as of now it's impossible to create an English windows virtual machine on parallels.
