Trying to add existing Kali Linux partition - Error: PRL_ERR_UNIMPLEMENTED (0x80000008)

Am trying to add an existing Kali linux partition in the same way you can add BOOTCAMP partitions, but it's not working. I assume it's because it's specifically looking for a windows/bootcamp partition, but is there a way to do this? I have an external drive that i use for my Linux OS and it would be nice to not have to restart into it any time I want to use it heh..

 

Such functionality is not officially supported in Parallels Desktop.

 

Are you using PD 12?

I could use my Ubuntu Physical Partition as a boot camp partition in PD 12 but not on PD 13.
I can tell you how.

 

please do so, I have ubuntu on partition and would love to run in Parallels as well

 

Piotr,
Are you using PD12?
Best,
S.V.

 

PD13
I managed to boot Ubuntu from partition using VirtualBox but:

• booting is very slow
• I can't login

 

(A) You need to change the partition code using gdisk
1) Find out which disk you have Linux installed
sudo fdisk -l
2) After that (in my case it was /dev/sda )
sudo gdisk /dev/sda
3)Change the partitions code from 8300 to 0700
First type ? for help and then you will find the commands for doing this.

(B) Then install PD12 (After completing all the steps, you can reinstall PD13)
