Hello-- I am new to the Mac world but excited about working in it on a MacMini. I have a new MacMini with 2 gigs of RAM and a 160 gig hard drive. I installed Boot Camp first and it seems to be working fine in the 60 gig C partition. I installed a number of old Windows programs on the Windows partition. Then I installed Parallels Desktop which seemed like a separate installation of Windows on a 32 gig virtual drive. Within the Parallels virtual drive, I cannot see the programs I previously installed on the Boot Camp Windows partition. Except for this problem, Parallels seems to be working fine (Microsoft gave me an additional verification number). I am using Parallels Build 3036. How do I reconcile the two Windows installations so that Parallels sees the Boot Camp partition and the programs that have already been reinstalled? Thanks so much for any help. James
I didn't see a Boot Camp option when installing--as I recall the options, they looked like choices to install Windows from scratch--perhaps I missed something??? James
I figured it out. I uninstalled the software and then installed a later build (3188) which had the support for Boot Camp. It initially seems to be working OK although I understand there are some other problems with 3188. Thanks. James
