    I have a bootable USB Thumb Drive with a Windows 8 image on it. NOT an .ISO, but the raw files. How do you get Mac Parallels 7.0 to create an new VM based off this bootable USB Thumb Drive?

    I really hate this new wizard in 7.0...as I recall there was a way to kill this in 6.0, but can't find it in 7.0 so you could select your boot device or even PXE boot.

    Thanks!

    To select the boot device in PD7 (as well as in PD6) you need to open VM configuration, go to Hardware -> Boot Order and specify the boot order and boot device
