installed vista ultimate under bootcamp and it works perfect.
installed parallels 4560 and created vista virtual machine and selected bootcamp as drive:

when starting get error:

No boot device available, press Enter to continue.

tried to create new virtual machine, tried all different settings in advanced for hard disk 1 (actual IDE 0:0) but no way

any help ?

Hello!

Is it a 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

Best regards,

John,

I have the same problem as Mikael: I'm running Windows Vista Business 32Bit, NTFS partition installed with bootcamp on a Mac Book Pro. When running Parallels I select "Custom" OS Installation but the option "Use Boot Camp" is grayed out. Is it possible to virtualize and dual-boot the same Windows Vista, or does it only work with XP?

The output from my diskutil is:
Welcome to Darwin!
Vigor11:~ esbenhedegaard$ diskutil list

Thanks,

Hello!

Please disconnect ALL external DEVICES, remove Parallels by means of the "uninstall " application, repair disk permissions using the MacOSX disk utility, restart the MAC, install Parallels, restart the MAC once again, and create a bootcamp virtual machine.

Best regards,
John

Hi!

Perhaps the disk is not bootable. You should have bootable floppy diskettes or floppy .FDD images in order to install Win95,

Best regards,
John
 
i did:

disconnect ALL external DEVICES, removed Parallels by "uninstall " application, repair disk permissions using the MacOSX disk utility (and after also cocktail), restarted the MAC, installed Parallels, restarted the MAC once again, and created a bootcamp virtual machine.

BootcampOSP.log does not exist...

any help ?
 
seems that my windows partition ist a dynamic disk and maybe for this it is not accessable in mac os x ?
cannot remember to having selected on installation of vista to use dynamic disk ?
when i right click in disk management on the system disk it gives me the choice of "resize" but how can i make sure it is really a dynamic disk ?
and if it is, is a dynamic disk not supported in parallels ? can i revert ? maybe by backing up the partition with acronis drive image and then back on a "non dynamic disk/partition" ?
