    I've installed Windows XP using Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta and it works nicely. However when trying to boot the Boot Camp partition using Parallels (RC2), still running OS X I get an error message (edit: Parallels is unable to boot the Boot Camp partition) stating that I am missing drivers. I searched the forum and was told to copy cab files onto my Windows XP partition and then trying again. This did not help!
    Please give me some hints on what to try next!

    Kind regards,
    Fredrik

    I can mount the bootcamp partition but am using 3120 for parallels, windows XP, and ox 10.4.8 on MBP, CE creative cam works and DeLorme Street Atlas works with the earthmate GPS LT-20. So i am very happy with that, Dont have to boot Bootcamp to run the mapping program anymore. Good Job Parallels, Only one thing left , cant wait till iSight cam works so i dont have to have the CE Creative cam sitting on my Laptop lid, lol

    Third possibility: Even if you could, would you?

    I would not. I don't need it or want it and have no intentions of installing it. I have no problems for which it is the solution.
