I have Parallels 9 running Win7 from a boot camp partition. I also have the Paragon NTFS driver for OSX. From memory, possibly not totally accurate: I told Parallels to suspend the VM. It first made me confirm that if it was suspended in this way, booting into it through boot camp could cause problems. It then told me that as I had the NTFS driver, leaving the machine suspended would be problematic even if I didn't boot into it. Obviously given that, I didn't want it to suspend, and I'm not quite sure how it got from that point to the state it's in now. Now Windows (still running in Parallels) isn't responding at all, ordering the virtual machine to shutdown has no effect. The only obvious choice I can see is to stop the VM and try to boot into bootcamp and run any standard Windows recovery that might be called for. I'm not too worried as I don't have much to loose on that partition, but would I be likely to cause unnecessary damage that way? Is there something else I could do that would be better?
Never mind, unsurprisingly fixed itself after rebooting OSX and starting the VM again, just got the standard 'Windows would not shut down properly' and booted normally.
