Vista is my Parallels virtual machine on a Mac. When I started Parallels (resume), I got a disk error message. Vista gives me the following instructions: Windows Boot Manager 1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. Choose your language settings and click 'Next' 3. Click "Repair your computer." The failure is: File: Windows/system32/winload.exe Status: 0xc000000f Info: The selected file could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt. Well, I inserted my disc on my Mac but I don't think Windows sees it. I can't get the computer to restart. I've quit Parallels with the 'stop' option. When I restart Parallels and choose my Vista virtual machine and 'click to start', the same black screen with the above instructions reappears. How do I get the Vista machine to restart so I can 'repair' the computer? Or am I dead in the water? TIA
I'm having the exact same issue, did you find a solution? I even tried changing the boot order for that virtual machine to CD but it did do anything.
I got it working again: I did a few things, 1. Increased the RAM associated with that VM. I increased the hard disk space associated with that VM (using the parallels Image Tool). I also changed the boot order for that VM to look at CD-DVD first. All of those things can be configured for that VM. Then I put in the Vista disc back in and pressing ctrl+alt+esc or something along those lines, ran the repair and it worked again.
