    I have a 2010 iMac with 3 hdd's one is for os x, second one has windows 10 installed, third is just for storage.
    I can run windows just fine on its own by booting it from the start by holding option key during boot up and i choose that hdd
    but whenever i try and run parallel to try and dual boot at the same time I have never able to get it to work! I do the manual configuration and i choose the hdd that has windows and run it. It then goes to the black screen where its trying to run windows but it never find the hdd so i am never able to complete the initial configuration! Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Hello MexG,
    May I know how you installed the boot camp Windows (Mac boot camp assistant or other).

    did not use bootcamp assistant as it didn't work. I used a third party app parted magic to format the second hdd to to ntfs and then installed windows that way

    Please uninstall that 3-party application for NTFS then restart you Mac and try running in Parallels virtual machine.
