Hi,

All was working fine, then all of a sudden xp will not load in 3.0. It starts up. Then I get the option of loading in safe mode. I ignore and then it just freezes. It works fine in boot camp. FYI I am running the boot camp partition. I do not even know where to start to trouble shoot this issue?

PLEASE HELP ME
 
Please try to create new Virtual Machine based on existing Hard Drive as follows:

a. Start Parallels. In Parallels Desktop menu bar click File -> New.

b. Choose Custom mode of installation. On the next steps leave default settings.

c. On the fourth step choose "Use an existing hard disk image".

d. Browse to your .hdd file.

e. Finish installation leaving default settings.

In case the issue persists, repair Windows installation as described in this knowledge base article:
