Monterey and Fusion 12.2.3 boot camp issues

cagz · ‎04-27-2022

Trying to setup a boot camp VM for the first time.

Boot camp is setup correctly, boots up fine if I use the option key.

It also works fine with Parallels so I am assuming the Windows itself is fine.

When I try to create boot camp VM I get the error: The Boot Camp volume is not prepared to run as a virtual machine. It appears that Windows did not shut down cleanly the last time it was used.

I followed VMware recommendation (changing startup disk to Windows from macOS and reverse) several times and I am quite sure it is actually shutdown correctly.

Log file is attached.

According to this fusion finds the correct drive and windows directories, but then fails.

I tried all other older recommendations in these forums, not sure what I can do next.

Thanks

Try deleting the bootcamp VM from the Fusion Library and re-'run' it.

This doesn't delete your BC partition itself, just the VMware 'stubs' that point to it... Deleting and re-creating them should force a re-read of the partition table and set it up properly.

Thank you for the response.

Tried it many times. Including deleting Boot Camp folder and related plists before trying again. The same issue even with a fresh setup I am afraid.

I am having this issue with the same version numbers and same OS. Were you able to solve this issue?

I am currently booting into window whenever i need it.

Was boot camp created with the Apple boot camp wizard?

And the OP was using both Fusion and Parallels - I strongly suspect that might be part of the issue. Use one or the other.
