Help with errors when attempting to install XP Pro

[NickD2]

When I attempt to create the virtual machine, the DOS box pops up and keeps teling me that the operations has "Failed". May I get some help with this please. Thank you.

A bit more info...
I created an ISO file on the XP machine. Copied it to the MacBook Pro.

PXE-E53: No boot filename received
CD-ROM drive... failed
Floppy Drive... failed
No Boot Device is available, press Enter to continue​

and the above just repeats itself.

Hi @NickD2 , please try to download an alternative iso file and follow http://kb.parallels.com/4729 and let us know if that works.

 

[NickD2]

Arun, thank you. I D/L'd a diff version of XP Pro SP3 (I did not create another one from my paid version of XP Pro) and low & behold got it installed. I also have Crossover installed on this machine (similar to Parallels). Maybe you would know the answer to this, is it possible to install Windows apps directly from Parallels or do I have to continue to install them via Crossover? I want to run the Windows apps from inside Windows due to the fact that I use Adobe PageMaker a lot. Printing is an issue using PageMaker through Crossover. Thank you kindly.

Hi @NickD2 , to run Windows application using Parallels Desktop for Mac, first you have to install Windows virtual machine and create a Windows environment, where you can install the applications inside it provided it is compatible with the Windows operating system which is installed.

XP is up and running on the MacBook. Should be smooth from here. Thank you again sir.
