    hi there,
    i just migrated my old pc laptop with windows xp sp3 installed on a raid0 (striping) array (2x80GB HDD), to my new macbook pro (i5 2x2.63GhZ, 8GB, 500GB HDD )
    the migration finished without any errors.
    then the machine window comes up with "please wait while the virtual machine is beeing configured... Preparing to configure your virtual machine (step 1 of 4)"
    After that it switches to the boot screen. There it shows "parallels trying to boot from primary slave IDE drive" and the program get stucked...

    after that i looked after the boot order. Hard Disk 1 was in the upper line. Second line was CD Rom, and in the 3.rd line was Hard Disk 2.
    I´ve tried to boot from the Hard Disk 2, but then boot window shows "could not boot from secondary master IDE drive" ntldr is missing...

    What can i do ?

    Or does Parallels not supporting RAID?

    Thanks

    Cheers,

    Cheech
