    After upgrading to Parallels 11, I tried booting up my VM and got a black screen lock up that says:

    McAfee Endpoint Encryption
    Fatal Error: [0xEE020006] getting disk info

    I do have McAfee installed on the VM (corporate requirement) -- but it worked fine until Parallels 11.

    Please help!

    I have not yet used McAfee Endpoint Encryption but I guess your harddrive is encrypted using some kind of hardware identifier in order to protect the harddrive to be moved to another computer. (Not sure but I can imagine that)

    With the new VM McAfee is not able to decrypt your harddrive anymore because of changed hardware identifier. I am quite sure that you need to create a new machine.

    I found the exact same problem with McAfee Endpoint Encryption. Creating a new VM does not work either. Once MEE is installed and encrypts the drive, the same fatal error returns. Hoping someone finds a solution, as this has never been an issue with Parallels versions 8, 9, or 10. My VM must be encrypted with MEE for compliance reasons. Have had to return to Parallels 10 for now.

    Bummer, Jamie

    I created a new VM (updated to win 10 with no problems). Everything works.....but.....I haven't installed the corporate B/S, Spyware, etc. yet. I'm gonna hold off, based on your recommendation.
