Eddie Turfboer Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hello all, I would like to use parallels to be able to boot my dual boot system (XP Prof and OS X). I read some information about this on this forum. It seemed simple...change media type to 1 and change the image to 'Boot Camp;diskXsX'. Well if I do that I get the error image file could not be found. It seems to me that parallels still thinks it is an hard drive image rather then a partition. Maybe the reason of this is that the boot camp option is gratyed out? Thanks for any help, Eddie.

macgirl Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 In most of PCs that option is grayed, because Parallels does not detect a Guid Partitioned Drive, one solutio is to add a third drive and format with GUID scheme, another solution that worked for me is is adding a third drive no matter which scheme. But the best solution, is the new VMware Fusion, it does not need to detect a bootcamp disk (GUID) you can add MBR disks also.
