Hi erverybody, I have a brand new Windows XP SP3 partition (no third party software installed) and a fresh up2date Parallels 4 installation on my mac. When trying to add a VM with BootCamp, I get the following error: "Could not configure your boot camp partition. Check that you have read write access and try again." The log is more detailed: 08:43:10.286 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Checking PD4.x tools existence: NOT FOUND (0x8000000) 08:43:10.286 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ ============================================================ 08:43:10.286 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Restoring proper kernel ... 08:43:10.287 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ ============================================================ 08:43:10.287 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Restoring kernel ... 08:43:10.288 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Processing halmacpi.dll ... 08:43:10.367 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Extracting file halmacpi.dll ... 08:43:10.382 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Using source CAB: WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp3.cab ... 08:43:10.383 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ OA00010.10: 1822c40; WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp3.cab 08:43:10.519 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ OA00010.14: 08:43:10.519 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Failed to extract file - continuing ... 08:43:10.540 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Using source CAB: WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab ... 08:43:10.541 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ OA00010.10: 1822c40; WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab 08:43:10.543 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ OA00010.14: 08:43:10.543 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Failed to extract file - continuing ... 08:43:10.553 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Using source CAB: WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab ... 08:43:10.553 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ OA00010.10: 1822c40; WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab 08:43:10.556 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ OA00010.14: 08:43:10.556 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Failed to extract file - continuing ... 08:43:10.569 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Can not restoring for halmacpi.dll 08:43:10.570 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Restoring kernel failed 08:43:10.570 F /OsAccess:504:B0081000/ Failed to restore proper kernel 08:43:10.571 F /WinRegistry:504:B0081000/ OA00001.02: 08:43:10.573 F /WinRegistry:504:B0081000/ OA00001.02: 08:43:10.584 F /BootcampConfigurator:504:B0081000/ {UpdateCompatLevel @ BootcampConfigurator.cpp:170} Compatibility Level 4294967295 enabled for VM 08:43:10.584 F /BootcampConfigurator:504:B0081000/ {main_impl @ BootcampConfigurator.cpp:268} BootCamp reconfiguration finished: 4294967196 08:43:10.589 F /BCToolHelper:230:B0491000/ Cmd result: 39936 08:43:10.590 F /disp:230:B0491000/ Failed to configure Boot Camp Image '/Users/sweh/Documents/Parallels/Windows XP.pvm/Hitachi HTS722020K9SA00.hdd' - reverting ... Does anybody know, whats going on here? Is Parallels incompatible to Service Pack 3?!? I did a problem report with the ID 432032, if that helps the parallels team. Thanks a lot for your help, Sebastian Wehrmann
So, whats up? Why is nobody (in special the Parallels team) helping me? Do you need further information?
Hey So, the problem persists and nobody helps. The software is useless for me without BootCamp support. Where can I get my money back?
