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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 The version of Parallels that just came out supports Vista. Link to comment 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
