Hit or Miss with Parallels, Need Some Suggestions!

[CuriousGeorgeNC]

Hi all, I am running Parallels on a new MBP and enjoy it, when it works. However I'd say about 50% of the time, when I start it, I get this message:

More than one Windows partitions are found. This is not a standard Boot Camp configuration...

I just have one partition so this doesn't make much sense to me. Anyone know what to do so that this runs 100% of the time? Thanks so much...

Did you install parallels after using bootcamp to create a partition and install windows?
I have done this and am considering installing parallels but did not know how easy it would be and if I would need to re-activate windows or not? Posts like yours put me off from installing parallels.

Yes, I installed Boot Camp first and it really confuses me because sometimes it works and other times it won't start up...

Did you have to re-activate windows after running the vm on parallels?
