I fought with this about three months ago and got the answer out of Parallels Tech Support:
1. Convert your VmWare virtual Machine but do not run it. 2. Go to Virtual Machine drop-down menu -> Configure -> Hardware -> Hard Disk 1 and change its location from SATA to IDE (e.g. IDE 0:1). 3. Run your Virtual Machine. It works for me. Please let me know if it works for you.
