Parallels + Bootcamp?

[thenameisgabe]

I succesfully installed Leopard using the Kalyway build and everything is pretty much working fine. I have two separate SATA HD's, one formatted as GUID with leopard and the second with MBR with XP-Pro.

 

The windows drive mounts fine on my leopard desktop, and when I start parallels, it automatically sets up a bootcamp virtual machine, but when I try to boot it, it says that the bootcamp partition is not standard and that I should refer to the guide I use this feature very often on my macbookpro, and was wondering if there was any way to get parallels to boot from the XP drive.

 

My Computer:

 

Asus p5b-vm

4gb gskill ram

C2D e6600

2x 160gb SATA drives

DVD Drive and DVD burner

I reformatted with MBR option and tried using VMWare Fusion. It picked up the partition right away and booted to it. OSX crashed the first time but afterwards its fine, seems to be stable so far. I don't know if the MBR format had anything to do with it working, but VMWare works fine.

 

Thanks for the help though.

I don't know what to tell you to help but I can tell you that I have Parallels running XP fine on my system. My first SATA drive is a 750GB XP (NTFS) drive. My second SATA drive is a 250GB MBR Leopard drive. I had XP running first before I installed XP. I dual boot with the chain0 method.

 

After Leopard came up fine, I installed Parallels. I pointed it at my existing XP drive and it all starts and runs just fine.

 

 

I'm running Kalyway 10.5.1, EFI, Vanilla kernel
