The same message is being posted on the QEMU forums. Seems that the error started with RC1 - Beta 2 installed OK under QEMU I also am trying to install RC1 and getting the same error. Looks like Parallels was premature. I bet they'll still using Beta 2 for testing...

Such a shame as I was looking forward to seeing how it performed compared to the native install I have on another partition. I have sent a bug report on this to Parallels, but I have a feeling they were aware of this problem.

Please read the Readme.txt for possible workarounds, or contact your system vendor for an updated bios." Bummer. 5384 looks like it'll install, but RC1 is soooooo much better.

In Parallels? Care to post how you did it to help others experiencing problems?

Oh, not in parallels no. In Bootcamp, should have stated that sorry.

I tried to reboot and selected the Vista partition to continue the install. After what seemed like an eternity of a black screen with nothing on it, I rebooted and tried other partitions, finding I corrupted the install and had to revert to XP. I tried it again but this time let it run on that black screen as long as it wanted to. After several minutes, the install started up again and ran until completion, which was only for another few minutes before it finished. I now have a working RC1 on Boot Camp on a Mac Pro. So after a crash with Parallels, what happens if you continue with the install?

Wonni Junior Member Join: Sep 2006 Posts: 8	Yes, you must install the Parallels Tools step by step, because the prltools.exe doesnt work in Vista. Mount the Parallels Tools and go to system control and update the driver (Video, Sound, Mouse and Network) and go to the folder on your CD-ROM. That´s it. Wonni
