3094 + Vista RTM + BootCamp = crash on boot. :-(

[Arlo]

I'm not yet a user of Parallels because I'm waiting for it to be able to boot off my BootCamp partition with Vista installed.

I was hopeful this was the release that would do it, but when I boot, I get a black screen, then it crashes. If I boot in safe mode, I get up to "crcdisk.sys" then it flips the window back to the main panel. Don't know if it's crcdisk.sys that's crashing, or whatever comes after it.

Anyone else running in to this? Any Parallels support folks know what this is about?

It could be that BootCamp + Vista isn't supported yet. Which is fine... but I'm running out of email addresses to use since by the time I install a beta to try, the trial key for the last test has expired.


Cheers,
Arlo

I'm also wanting to do this! Is it possible with the latest beta2 of Parallels to use the BootCamp partition if it is running Vista?

I'm attempting to have Vista in my BootCamp and Parallels read that partition. I know that Coherence and drag & Drop won't work, but given my limited Hard Drive space, my long term plan is to have one install of Vista and use Parallels to access it most of the time. But, I'd like to boot into Vista when more power is necessary.
