The solution offered below doesn't really help unless you know how to boot from cd which they don't explain. Thanks for that

Before booting from cd go to Parallels EDIT and VIRTUAL MACHINE which will give you Configuration Editor. Under RESOURCE: OPTIONS: BOOTING tab tick CD/DVD Rom and under RESOURCE:CD/DVD ROM tick Connect At Startup and Use CD/DVD Rom.

Over 6 hours of a Sunday wasted trying to sort that out. Just a little tip to the people at Parallels - When you write a problem solving guide try and think about what you're writing and don't miss out chunks of important information.

Hello,

We guess you've misspelled the expand. Try again.

After i follow all the steps and get to the point where you have to type "expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32" i get the message the system cannot find the file or directory specified.

I cant get past this no matter what i do.

I can run windows under boot camp, but not under parallels. so i dont see why this file would be missing for parallels but not for boot camp.
