Hi. I have Parallels 4 and I'm trying to install the IE6/7 test images from Microsoft. I've used the Transporter to convert it to a working .hdd file but when I try to add a Virtual Machine, that's where I get hung up. It keeps asking to install the operating system. If I skip it and try to run the VM, then I just get a hardware failure and it keeps prompting to start regularly or in safe mode. I was under the impression that the test images already contained XP. How would I just set up a virtual machine without needing to install an actual OS. I don't have any installation CD's for XP. Thanks in advance!
The images do contain XP, and work in Microsoft's Virtual PC, the problem is that Parallels can't convert them (although it advertises it can).
