With parallels upgrade (4.0) the configuration file as changed to an xml file... anyone knows how to do it now?

I'm also trying to get it to work with 4.0.  

The  "Boot Camp Partition" is not selectable when I try and create the parallels virtual machine.  The .pvs file is a more complicated XML file like you mentioned, and I'm not exactly sure how to go about editing it to tell it boot off the physical drive where I have XP installed.  

I think I could probably figure it out, if someone who has XP installed on physical drive and is able to use it through Parallel's Boot Camp option could send the HDD portion of their config.pvs

Does anybody know if parallels work on the NC10? I have heard it works on the MSI Wind & Advent 4211.

Please can smebody help me get this to work.

Would I need a specific version?

Has there been any progress?  I so would love to use a physical install with Parallels 4.

Yes, I'm very interested also. Especially because I'm using apple's wireless bluetooth keyboard and it doesn't work in the bios, so I can't boot into windows without plugging in a usb keybaord.

Here's the config.pvs from my bootcamp VM on my Macbook running the trial version of Parallels 5 - I have yet to experiment with getting it running on my hackintosh.

If anyone has gotten Parallels 5 to work with their physical Windows install on a Hackintosh, please enlighten us ^^  Trying to mess with it myself right now and it seems to be picking the correct partition in the config file, but during the setup when I try to start the VM, it ends up erroring.

[uuufo]

same here boot0 error, i had the same in vmware and just had it boot the 7 disc and run a startup repair,,, but parallels goes through a "first time" setup each time you try to run it and it won't boot off the cd... any ideas? Thanks!

[ChiguiroChiflado]

Hi there I know this an old Thread but I am trying this and cant make it work properly.
I have been using my hackintosh booting with chameleon either my win7 or snow leopard partition.
I installed parallels 6 on osx and before i knew it it was already running my windows 7 on a window. it gave me a few errors having to do with the MOBOs OCing tools but after closing them it was all good. I installed parallels tools and rebooted with no problem except those mentioned errors. then i was able to use my windows to encode some video while using my mac on other things SWEET!!!

BUT... later i tried to boot my windows via chameleon and got blue screen. I rebooted it and finally worked after an hour of 'windows is trying to solve the problem' windows then was fine.

I decided I would give it another try with parallels from my osx an now i am unable to boot it says there was a fatal error. what to do?

thanks in advance
