Now I get the above error messag. I can't find how to trouble shoot this nor do I know what caused it. How should I proceed? Thanks in advance
> NTFS formated Do you have ntfs-3g installed? There is a certain issue with version 3844 of Parallels Desktop and ntfs-volume with BootCampt may be required to be unmounted manually before starting the VM
This? http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Not something I installed. I used Boot Camp Assistant to format. Did a low "level format." Only driver I updated was the ATI Radeon 2600XT driver.
Please send a problem report using menu Help->"Report a Problem" and post here its number. The report contains necessary for investigation logs
Try to remove HDD from Vm configuration and add it again. Do not forget to check Boot device priority after adding, to make sure that you have HDD as a first boot device.
