I upgraded Parallels tools 3/70 in a regular VM without any problem. On the other hand, upgrading Parallels tools 3170 for the BootCamp partition did not work well. The machine was stalled and doing nothing after a long time (1 hr). So I had to stop it and now it says the partition is...

BootCamp is Corrupted after installing 3170 Parallels tools I upgraded Parallels tools 3/70 in a regular VM without any problem. On the other hand, upgrading Parallels tools 3170 for the BootCamp partition did not work well. The machine was stalled and doing nothing after a long time (1 hr)...

I am using 2.5 Beta3 (build 3106) on a MacBook Pro 2GHz, 2GB. Almost everything is working fine. I have 2 regular VMs with .hdd files and a 3rd one is Bootcamp partition. All VMs are on XP. Bootcamp is working fine either from real Mac startup or from Parallels. Congratulation to...

I see no problem with USB external drive speed. In fact it is more like USB 2 speed even when claiming USB 1. Luca

The USB internal iSight is working well with XP under Bootcamp using Apple driver. Why is it still not working in Parallels 1970 using same Apple driver ? Problem: as soon as it is connected, it gets disconnected when driver has been installed. This is an internal iSight on a MacBook Pro...

I have an external USB drive which contains a Mac OS X partition and a NTFS partition (formatted as such from Bootcamp). I can access the NTFS (read and write) from Parallels VM running XP. NTFS partition on USB drive can be accessed from bootcamp too. It is your solution. Also, from...

Hi, This is working fine for me without any problem (writing to NTFS on external USB real drive). I have a USB external drive formatted under OS X. One partition is OS X, one is FAT32, one is NTFS (formatted under XP with Bootcamp). As you said, the NTFS is read-only directly in Mac OS X...

iSight driver extraction from Bootcamp. 1-Produce the driver cd from Bootcamp (or mount the disk image from inside the Bootcamp package, using display package content option under ctrl-click) 2-Under Windows XP (real PC, Bootcamp or Parallels), run the Apple "Install Macintosh Drivers for...

The MacBook Pro internal iSight is working very well in Windows XP under Bootcamp. You have only to install the Apple driver (supplied with Boocamp). It is working in MyComputer. You will see the drives and the camera. Once you click on the iSigth icon, Windows will display the image and you...

With RC2 (1920) the iSigth is now recognized by Windows XP SP2 in Parallels! The driver is available from Apple (you have to extract it from Bootcamp)! The problem is once the iSight is seen by XP, confirmed by a dong-ding, a second later, XP will issue a ding-dong to confirm it has been...

I can use now the real partition on a real USB drive for normal read/write/delete operations. So I guess it is kind of supported by Parallels. Also creating a partition on new USB drive did work.

Hi, I just connected a new external USB drive (160GB) when running Windows XP in Parallels. XP will notice the drive and say it is installed. As it will not show now in My Computer, I can create a partition (see image 1) and the letter "E" is assigned to the drive using Windows XP Disk...

Yes, new iMacs are 64-bit Core 2 Duo.

Yes, I had the same problem. This is why I had to trash the beta and return to "official" version. Luca

I understand Parallels VM would be able to write to the NTFS partition. The first question though is how can the VM "see" the INTERNAL partition? Now there are 2 ways to access a disk: USB and image file. As the internal partition is neither, how can I make the VM see that partition? Luca...

In addition to c: drive, Parallel VM can read/write a disk image or an external USB drive. Q1: Can it mount a NTFS partition located on internal drive (of MacBook Pro)? Q2: Will it be able to WRITE to it? Since Mac OS X can only read it, is it a limitation for VM too? The reason for this...

Solution for fullscreen video Excellent!!! Wonderful! This is exactly the solution. It is working in XP too. Thank you Rick! May I suggest Parallels to include this in the documentation? Luca

As suggested, I updated Parallels tools in Beta 6 and I got 2 errors while running it. 1) a message asking me for XP CD. I inserted XP CD and it did not find the file. message: The file 'i8042prt.sys' on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD is needed. 2) another message was...

This product is wonderful! The cube effect is very cool I am very pleased to see full-screen mode but I cannot find how to change resolution automatically. Now, I use window mode at 1024x768. When I turn to full screen it will keep the same 1024x768. I would like to use 1440x900...

Hi, I tried many times and it is not working at all. First time 1. I installed Compactor on Mac OS 10.4.6, MacBook Pro 2 GHz/ 1MB/ firmware 1.0.1 2. I started a VM running Windows XP2 (all windows updates done.) 3. I use Menu Devices, CD-DVD and connect the image. Compactor started by...
