    I upgraded Parallels tools 3/70 in a regular VM without any problem.

    On the other hand, upgrading Parallels tools 3170 for the BootCamp partition did not work well. The machine was stalled and doing nothing after a long time (1 hr). So I had to stop it and now it says the partition is corrupted. Windows will not start.

    I have a message to restart with original Windows Install Disk and type 'r' to repair.
    After doing this, I just get a DOS prompt and I did't know what to do.

    So I restored my BootCamp partition (using the fantastic Mac OS X NetRestore) and tried again with same result. I restored again and tried with Parallels 3150 (instead of 3170) and it is working normallly. Everything is fine.

    It looks to me something is broken in build 3170 regarding BootCamp.
