Parallels For Mac Unable To Detect Operating System Windows 10

The icon for the selected hard disk appears in the sidebar of the Finder window, together with other Mac OS X icons. To browse the contents of a volume, click its icon in the sidebar of the Finder window. You can manage the virtual machine files just as you manage your Mac OS X files in Finder windows. ** — Parallels tools are not available for this operating system. Note: Parallels Desktop for Mac emulates PC hardware, so operating systems that are not present in this list can work as well. They are not on the list because we didn't test them in our lab yet or we found some critical issues. The Windows 98 installation has failed with the message, 'No operating system is installed on the virtual hard disks or Parallels Transporter is unable to make the operating system bootable' Parallels provides several hundred pages of documentation and a web site, none of which addresses the question. Parallels will respond with 'Unable to detect operating system'. Click continue to ignore this and proceed with the install through Parallels.

Symptoms

A virtual machine installation fails with an error message.
Virtual machine installation is stuck, or there is a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) occurring during the installation process.

Cause

Corrupted installation media (CD/DVD, .iso image file)
Unsupported or uncustomized operating system image or distributive
Parallels Desktop or virtual machine misconfiguration

Resolution

Before checking the solutions to the most frequent virtual machine installation issues below, please make sure the operating system installation media is suitable for virtual machine installation:

If you are using a CD/DVD to install a virtual machine, make sure it is bootable and in working condition. Working condition means that you can use the disk to install the operating system on any other physical PC.
Try another installation CD/DVD, or use an .iso image to install a virtual machine. To learn more about .iso disk images, see KB 4917.
If you are installing a Windows virtual machine, make sure you own a valid license to activate the virtual machine. A Windows virtual machine is considered a Windows installation and requires a valid license key just as a physical Windows PC does.

If the steps above don't resolve the issue, see the solutions below.
