After upgrading to Leopard, I rebooted and got some kind of Boot Camp error message. I didn't pay much attention to it, but then I noticed that I started to experience the same problems that other people have stated in other threads: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=17016 http://forum.parallels.com/showpost.php?p=86292&postcount=5 My only recourse was to revert to my snapshot, which (fortunately) I had created just before the Leopard upgrade. Shortly after I reverted, the Boot Camp installer once again attempted to install inside the Parallels Windows image (see linked image). I suspect that the problems I encountered after the upgrade will resume. We shall see...
Hello, did you do the Boot Camp upgrade after upgrading to Leopard? How to do it is written here. Best regards, Stacey
No, I have never used Boot Camp. It was a Parallels image that the Boot Camp installer tried to install on, not a boot disk partition. It seems that Boot Camp detects Windows disk images as well as partitions when it's installed.
I just suspended the Windows guest, and Parallels hung. I saved a copy of the problem report before I submitted it to Apple. Then, I tried starting Windows from the stopped state, and my Macbook Pro froze. After I powered up the Macbook, I reverted to my last good snapshot. This time, I cancelled the Windows Installer for Boot Camp before it had a chance to run. It appears to have resolved the problem. I can suspend and resume my Windows guest OS without it hanging on suspend or freezing the Macbook on startup. If there is a permanent way to prevent the Windows Installer for the Bootcamp Installer from starting up, please let me know, I may not be as quick to cancel it next time...
Hello, please go to Configuration Editor of Your VM. There you can find a 'CD/DVD-Rom' tab. Could you please tell me, what is written there? Or if possible please make a screenshot. Best regards, Stacey
Next time I have to stop the VM, I will do that. I don't want to stop it right now, because I may not be able to start it again. There is a DVD that is mounted right now that's visible to Windows, not the Mac, it's the Mac OS 10.5 DVD.
Here's the screenshot you requested. I won't be able to stop the VM any more due to Parallels instability (see my other post)
Hello, could you please in Parallels go 'Devices' -> 'CD/DVD-Rom' in Mac menu and click 'Disconnect' there? Best regards, Stacey
