    I have just got Parallels and have been trying to instal XP all day but cant get any further than setting up a VM. when i start the VM with my windows disk in it just seems to keep reading "no boot device" as if it cant find the cd? I have tried creating an image file of the disk using disk utility but this doesnt seem to help?

    Hello Louis,
    Please check the bootorder, launch parallels desktop - > configure - > Boot Order. It should be like the below sequence

    CD-ROM
    Hard disk
    Floppy Disk
    Network Adapter

    After setting the boot order, now install windows.
