I have exactly the same problem. I have installed everything from scratch... this is a brand new Boot camp installation and I get the same error - it doesnt have the necessary drivers.... any ideas from anyone?

OK, let's start at the beginning.
You installed boot-camp
You installed windows XP SP2
You installed the Mac Drivers for Windows
You tested and directly booted into Boot-Camp/Windows and everything works
---------
You downloaded Parallels 3120 RC1
You installed Parallels
You configured parallels going to Custom and selecting Boot Camp partition.

Now, you try to start the Boot-Camp partition and you receive an error PRIOR to the windows screen appearing.

Am I correct in what you are saying?

That is exactly what happened with me. After the first failure I got rid of the boot camp partition with Boot Camp Assistant, re-partitioned, and started the whole thing again getting the same error.

Any help is appreciated.

Yep...I'm having the same issues too.

Brand New Mac Book Pro Latest OS X updates, 120gb HD, with Boot Camp partition NTFS 5Gb formatted. Boot Camp works flawlessly, no problems at all. but then I get the same problem we seem to be having in this thread.

Upgraded to latest RC today and still no difference.

I'd love to pay the $70 for this product but no-one seems to know what to do.

BTW : I've copied the sp2.cab and drivers.cab over to the correct place and obviously to no avail.

Any takers with a solution?

Same here on my MBP.

I am using XP SP2 Corporate Edition. Could that be the problem?
