cmdshft Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have Parallels installed on my Hackintosh drive, and I have a NTFS drive with Windows XP Pro SP2 already installed on it. I was wondering if there is a way to boot this drive in Parallels so that I don't have to take up more space on my HFS+ drive. Any help or information is appreciated.

aquanutz Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) i was wondering this myself earlier and I do not believe it is possible yet. There are no options to do so in ther preferences.

Colonel Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The drive needs to have a GUID partition scheme for Parallels to boot it. The Hackintoshes use Master Boot Record instead of GUID, meaning that booting your drive in Parallels is not possible.
