How do I teach a freshly installed Parallels desktop build 3188 to access an existing bootcamp Windows-XP-SP2 installation ? Sorry if that has been covered before and I did not find it. In this case a link would be helpful. I have seen the thread "Moving Parallels image to bootcamp" on a similar though not identical question, and a 48-step procedure from bps1. However, I guess I do not want to go thru all that. It must be easier. I know I could install a default VM, waste 8GB, put a second XP on it and exchange files between the VM and Bootcamp install. Again, this seems to be too lefthanded. Any relatively easy solution available ? Falco
Hi, Set up a virtual machine as you would normally. When selecting your hard drive, choose Boot Camp rather than an image file. Hope that helps!
This.was.too.easy. for me. I did not have that option in the build 1940 I have purchased and I somehow managed to consult the wrong (old) Parallels Guide. Shame on me. The Undignified.
