Vista on a MAC Pro does not install due to ACPI
I have just bought Vista today, tried to intall (upgrade an XP image but the intsall stops due to no BIOS support for ACPI.

Tried downloading the latest TC from Parallels but still the same.

Has anyone got a relace copy of Vista to intstall yet?

trying to upgrade XP pro to Vista Business

10.4.8 osx
Mac Pro 2.66
Parallels 3120

Help appreciated
