Before, I installed the provided Bootcamp support in my WinXP Bootcamp as asked. It create 2 Profiles and 2 HW profile. I can choose the Parallels Configuration and Windows start booting for 1-2 sec. and then blue screen with a message that say "Windows prevent booting to prevent damages...". My partition is NTFS for Bootcamp... I don't know what the problem could be ? Any suggestion / help before deleting my Bootcamp partition and create back all that. If it work well after, I could delete my VM Hardisk and get back that 12 Gb :D Also, it will be easier to maintain 1 WinXP installation than 2 !! hope some Parallels guy could help ! I can provide a Screenshot of the BlueScreen if needed. Maybe a hint : In boot camp, I have 2 Partitions. One C: 14 Gb and one D: 6 Gb...

I can though get in through Safe mode from the Parallels side, while the BootCamp side just restarts and restarts... Must have to do with some driver the parallels install... Please help us here someone!!! Lot's of serious data are held inside the WinXP... :mad:
