[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1815315, member: 46727"] I've seen this before when trying to install a VM whenever a Boot Camp partition already existed. What has likely happened is that the Windows 10 boot sector has been corrupted or possibly overwritten. This usually means removing the Boot Camp partition with the Boot Camp Assistant and then reinstalling Windows. I don't believe it will matter if you try VMWare Fusion, however, if it's a free trial version it can't hurt to try. You need to make up your mind about running Windows; either from a VM or dual boot, but not from both. I know that some folks have it both ways and it works for awhile but eventually you'll run into trouble doing it that way. [/QUOTE]
