    I made the new CD according to KB#5446 to fix the problem of Stop Error 0x0000007b. When I try to boot with the CD I get this- "couldn't find NTLDR" and then it boots into the Boot Camp windows partition. I still can't get to XP with Parallels! Any thoughts? When I use the original windows cd it boots.
    Edit/ I just tried the whole process again, made a new CD now I get "BOOT:Couldn't Find NTLDR Insert Another Disc"
    This time the screen stayed black, no further boot action.

    This process is advised by Microsoft, I suppose you have either several files missing, or process is somehow incomplete
    Hold c key when restarting Mac

    After searching the forums I tried the "If you get Parallels VM machine boot errors, do the Cleanup Boot Camp partition" fix and it worked. I also uninstalled SP3. Now I can't install Boot Camp update 2.1, any suggestions?
