Hi there,
i just installed a trial of parallels and chose my boot-camp installation of windowsXP as guest-system.
Paralles did warn me, on first attempt it has to perform an overall set up and has to do a restart of windowsXP afterwards. Too, a new activation of winXP will be neccessary.
Ok, I just wanted to wait for the setup and the reboot.
But nothing happened till 15 min.
I now see the windows desktop, and a dialog of windows asking for drivers for 'new found hardware' ... but windows seems to be stuck somehow.
I cant access the desktop ... it seems the setup hasnt been finished yet ... but wont continue either.
what can I do now?
Parallel also warns not to stop the virtual machine or loss of data could be the result.
Holy sh&"!§$ (sorry
... but I dont want to crush my boot camp installation....
Please help, I cant turn off my computer for the same reason, i fear ...
