Cannot install Windows 8 Virtual Machine from Boot Camp

[Andrew Davidson]

When I try to setup a new Virtual machine using the Parallels wizard, it does not give me an option to install from bootcamp.

I have followed the steps in this article... http://kb.parallels.com/en/116235

however when I get to the step where it says:
From the Source drop-down list choose your physical Boot Camp partition
there is no Boot Camp partition shown.

yes I can see Boot camp in the disk utility

Which machine are you trying to install it on? If a new 12-inch Macbook, then:

(and don't expect a fix anytime soon given the general slowness of dev responses around here)

Hi All,
This seems to be a known issue with Parallels Desktop, stay tuned our developers are looking into this. Please visit http://kb.parallels.com/122720 for information about the update released.

It's obvious that even with the steps on the resolution, the bootcamp partition cannot be found when we are choosing the 'hard disk1'
