Mr H. Potter Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I have a tri-boot system, with XP home, FC5, and OSX. I installed Parallels onto OSX, and used it to boot XP. Of course, because Parallels uses all emulated hardware, XP finds all these different devices than the ones that it's used to. So it tells me that it needs to be re-activated, but it still boots. It installs a bunch of different hardware devices. Now, when I do a native boot of XP, it finds two devices that it can't find drivers for: "Primary IDE channel" and "Secondary IDE channel". It gives me an error that says "driver not intended for this platform." Since it can't find drivers, it does this every time it boots. Everything seems to be working fine, I can access all my drives. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48337-parallels-boot-of-xp-causes-trouble-in-native-xp-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

domino Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Boot into native XP as administator add a new hardware profile under systems properties. Reboot to OS X. Boot XP in parallels, use the new hardware profile you created under native XP. That should get rid of conflicting hardware profiles.
