Anyone have XP installed on a PATA drive in the second optical bay. If so, can Parallels setup see it as a Boot Camp drive. Boot Camp grayed out on my system. /dev/disk1s2 on / (local, journaled) ---- OSX drive (SATA) devfs on /dev (local) fdesc on /dev (union) <volfs> on /.vol /dev/disk2s3 on /Volumes/Mac HD2 (local, journaled) ---- 2nd Mac drive (SATA) /dev/disk0s1 on /Volumes/Windows XP (local, read-only) ---- Boot Camp drive (PATA) NTFS /dev/disk0s2 on /Volumes/MULTI OS (local) ---- FAT32 drive (PATA) /dev/disk3s1 on /Volumes/TRAVELDRIVE (local, nodev, nosuid) ---- Thumb drive automount -nsl [204] on /Network (automounted) automount -fstab [226] on /automount/Servers (automounted) automount -static [226] on /automount/static (automounted) thanks, john |

Unable to Open Disk Image Boot Camp Had this working uner 3036. Successfully ininstalled both the Parellels Tools for Boot Camp and Parallels Tools from the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows (while booted in through Boot Camp, of course). Rebooted into WIndows through Boot Camp to make sure everything was uninstalled and cleaned up). Got message in subject line. Have tried removing this "image" reference from my library, and readding it as a virtual machine, with the same result. Hardware: MBP (gen 1) with 1.5G RAM. Though it was working great (after a difficult install of the Boot Camp Tools in the previous build) I just couldn't refuse the seiren song of USB 2 and the Windows programs (Read: VMWare Client and Visio) in the dock with even less Windows stuff cluttering my desktop. Any thoughts on this? |

Should I activate Windows XP? (or wait) Coherence is so cool! Thanks to all the posts here I was able to get the copy of XP that came with Virtual PC on my old PowerBook migrated to this beta. Virtual PC was so slow it was useless on my Powerbook and when I tried to boot it up my copy of XP there was corrupt so I had to reinstall it. Now I've got 30-days to reactivate windows XP under parallels. I don't know if I'll have to call Microsoft or not. Will the next beta-s/rc-s/final of parallels require re-activation yet again or should I go ahead and activate now? I just hate calling microsoft and explaining what/why I'm doing something. And I'm marginally concerned their going to give me grief for trying to move my legal copy of XP from my old computer running virtual pc to the new one running parallels. Thanks! Eric |

after reading through all the "bugs" i have come to the conclusion that parallels betas should be harder to obtain. some of the problems people are having are caused entirely by their own incompetence. these people have no business testing development software, they spam the forum with their idiot questions and make it impossible for the dev team and the people who can actually test the product to communicate. example, people who think that because they cant mount the diskimage they downloaded that its incompatible with a certain version of windows. no. people who ignore the warnings marked VERY IMPORTANT and fail to remove the earlier parallels tools from their bootcamp partition. READ THE RELEASE NOTES BEFORE SPAMMING THE FORUM people who dont even know what a service is under windows, and cant even follow a simple instruction.. GO AWAY. i blame digg. its a magnet for morons. :mad: |

Do your homework / Show your work Quote:
What did you try? Did you try, say, looking in the app preferences panel? Or did it not immediately work as you expected it would so you posted to the forum for someone to tell you the answer? Unless you give some indication of what you tried, we don't really know. Are you using Coherence Mode? Do you have the setting turned on in Preferences? |

"Unable to open disk image Boot Camp!" I am getting the dreaded "Unable to open disk image Boot Camp!" message when trying to start a FAT32 Boot Camp partition too... I am on Windows XP Pro Corporate. What version of Windows XP are others using who are getting the same message? MBP C2D 2.33 2gb RAM P.S. I got it to work by copying the drivers.cab file and renaming it sp2.cab trick as seen in another thread. I had to install Parallels tools from the menu before my trackpad/mouse would work... Seems to be working (have booted several times natively and from Parallels) with no activation issues... |

Hey vinneh... your attitude and that of others who have a similar approach to assisting newbies is worse than worthless. These beta's are being released by the developer in order to try to design a product that will work "MacLike" with many hardware/software installations, just like most PC programs have to do. It's a necessary evil when you try to work with Windows. In addition, Boot Camp itself is just a beta. What you need is a private forum for you and other 'elite' users where you can laugh or bitch about the problems that some are having without actually having to get your hands dirty. There are many PC users that need to run software without having to know what a service is. This software is not a free beta, but rather a fairly expensive utility program that claims to be able to do quite a few tricks. It sorta works, but there are quite a few kinks and I don't think you know how to fix them all. In the time it took to beat up on a guy with a question, you might have actually pointed him/her (and many others) in the right direction, of course that would have meant that you would have to look up a reference... Don't you ever think about the person before you hit the post key? |

I would have thought the whole idea of a PUBLIC beta is to get users of mixed abilities trying the software and then watching as issues get identified and homefully resolved. Some issues will be be genuine bugs, other issues will be installation and perhaps configuration problems, and some will simply require more explanatory documentation. A wide public beta program that includes the highly experienced and the not so experienced will simply flush out more problems. Well done to the Parallels team. Well done to the users who take the trouble to assist their colleagues in the beta program. To the grumpy few that bitch at others inexperience - lighten up it is the holiday season! |

I installed Beta2 over Beta1. Started my VM. Got the message to update my tools to the latest version. I ran the installer for the new tools. The installer starts and seems to be installing the new tools, but then just sits-- never completes. I force stop the VM and restart, the new tools seem to be there. Everything is fine, the new beta seems faster than beta1, but coherence does not work. The threads about this don't seem to apply to me. When I try to do the 'sc delete "parallels coherence service" I get an error saying that the service is not installed. When I try to install the service by running c:\Program Files\Parallels\Parallels Tools\cohrence.exe" (note spelling error), I get one of two errors - either 1063 can't connect to the service controller" or 1060 "the specified service is not installed". How do I install the coherence service? Thanks! |

Interference with DVD mounting? Since installing the upgrade, I've noticed that it blocks DVDs from being mounted and visible to the Mac finder. I have XP running in Parallels. If I insert a DVD, I get Windows Explorer asking me what to do with it. But it never shows up to Mac apps. Once I suspend the virtual machine, the DVD immediately mounts in the Mac world. This is definitely different behaviour from what I've seen before. Is it some sort of new feature that I can adjust, or is it a bug? |

Guys, Just wanted to say well done on an absolutely marvellous product, being able to use my Bootcamp partition is absolutely essential and together with co-herence you have one mind-blowing product. Now, if someone could just tell me how to do a right-click on my MBP in co-herence mode I'd be sorted :) Cheers, CS. |
