erbic Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Because you can't use Boot Camp on a Hackintosh. Boot Camp requires EFI to work. Hackintoshes do not have EFI, and will not until we can sufficiently hack it to work on standard x86 PCs. As such, you can NOT use the Boot Camp feature of Parallels to boot your XP installation. You'll have to do a fresh install of XP inside a new Parallels VM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess next step is to try and expand the HFS+ partition so I can comfortably fit a Windows install aside my files. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
