Bootcamp and XP on separate disk - not working

signal

Junior Member
I am using the latest version of Parallels. I have my XP on its own disk. I am following this article:

http://kb.parallels.com/en/5063

my diskutil shows XP is on disk1s1

mac-pro:~ $ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *93.2 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS OSX 92.8 Gi disk0s2
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *111.8 Gi disk1
1: Windows_NTFS Preload 106.3 Gi disk1s1
2: 5.4 Gi disk1s2

Then I set the partition active with:

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk1
p
verify that its in fact partition 1
f 1
w
q

In bootcamp I have my pvs file set with the following:

[IDE devices]
Disk 0:0 enabled = 1
Disk 0:0 = 1
Disk 0:0 media = 1
Disk 0:0 connected = 1
Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp;disk1s1
Disk 0:0 cylinders = 0
Disk 0:0 heads = 0
Disk 0:0 sectors = 0

When I try to run it, I see the "Boot from drive ....." and it just hangs there.

Any ideas of what could be going on here?
 
Partition should be GPT
not MBR
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *111.8 Gi disk1
1: Windows_NTFS Preload 106.3 Gi disk1s1
2: 5.4 Gi disk1s2
so this will not work
 
Thanks for the reply.

This is just a standard windows hard drive, so I would guess that they are MBR normally, with NTFS partitions. Is there a way to switch this to GPT?
