See attached screenshot for the error I am getting
My VM has been working correctly for a long time with no issues. The VM locked up and after about an hour I did a macOS "Force Quit" to recover. That's when the "No Boot Device Available" problem started.
Guest OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Ultra Parallels Version: Desktop 12 for Mac Pro Edition; V 12.2.1 (41615)
MAC OS: Sierra v10.12.5 on 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro

Tried KB Article ID: 123150 http://kb.parallels.com/en/123150. In step 3 where you disconnect the HDD, it's greyed out and I can't change it. See attached screenshot.
Tried KB Article ID: 123344 http://kb.parallels.com/en/123344. In the section titled "Resolution" where you check the "Use EFI Boot" box, it's greyed out and I can't change it. See attached screenshot.
Please direct me to any alternate KB articles or other information links to assist me in resolving this issue.
