Perry44 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi. So, I have windows dual booted and have parallels installed on my Mac HD. I was wondering how to run my XP HD using Parallels, if it is possible. I want to be able to run XP Pro simultaneously with Mac, and this is the only way I know of doing this. Thank you very much in advance. - Perry Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30066-running-a-vista-boot-using-parallels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Parallels for Mac cannot run an OS installed on a hard drive (yet). It can only run an OS installed into a Parallels virtual drive.

Rammjet Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 The version of Parallels that just came out supports Vista. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30066-running-a-vista-boot-using-parallels/#findComment-210026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry44 Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Alright. I went ahead and upgraded, and got the installer to atleast not give me the same error message. However, now I get this: Any ideas? Please! It's such as hassle having to reboot every time I want to use Vista. Thank you.
