So my X99-UD4 5930k build has been running fine for months now, everything I've tried works as expected except for Virtual Machines! I have the current version of Parallels and it will not boot my windows drive (setup as bootcamp) it take about 15 minutes to boot and is so slow it's unusable. This has always worked in my previous builds. I tried VMWare pro with pretty much the same results. I was curious if anyone else is experiencing this?
 
VMWare is working fine here.
 
Thanks for the reply, are you using "bootcamp" i.e. an actual physical drive, or a vhd? Did you have any issues setting it up or did it just work as expected?

I've been unsuccessful in using my actual windows drive as a bootcamp virtualization (in vmware or parallels) on Yosemite. I've been doing it for it years on my 2600k hackintosh without any issues.

Using "Bootcamp", my actual Windoze drive... VMWare Version 7.1.1, I did have issues with the previous version.
 
Thanks for the reply again. Just tried it again and still no go. VMware detects the "boot camp" drive as IDE and windows freaks out.

One last question, which boot loader are you using Chameleon or Clover? I'm beginning to wonder if Chameleon could be the issue. Which would suck because Clover will not work with dual GPU's.
