Bootcamp + Vista fails to boot...

[jimcyl]

I have Vista running on my bootcamp partition and I would like to be able to access it via Parallels while I am running in OSX. I followed the directions for creating a virtual machine using the bootcamp partition but the virtual machine fails to load. It just goes through its boot-up process and then says something like "failed to boot. Press any key to enter command line."

Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks!

Oh FYI... I'm running Vista Ultimate so I'm allowed to run it on a VM.

I am having the same problem. I've been using Vista Ultimate in bootcamp ok, installed Paraellels and it won't boot. It goes through:

" Booting 'Windows Vista'

acpi
Vista Loader 2.1.2

Done!
fallback 1
find --set-root /bootmgr

Error 17: File not found
Booting 'Windows NT/2000/XP'

fallback 2
find --set-root /ntldr

Error 17: File not found
Booting 'Enter Command Line'

Boot failed! Press any key to enter command line.
