Hello,
I have bootcamp on my Macbook pro with mac and windows on their... but their is a program i want to use called Ruckus (ruckus.com) and a few others that i want to use when in mac so i can put the files over to the mac side without restating.. so i heard i can take prallels and run that XP i have under boot camp??

Can somebody tell me how to do this... i need to do it this way beuase if i install XP again through parallels it won't be able to activate and it will not run after 30 days and everything.

Any help would be appreciated!!! SO recap.. basically i am trying to set up a VM where i am rtunning the Xp on my computer (that i run through boot camp) ... i did the run a VM through boot camp but it gave me an error...
the error says "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not rea form the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. please check the Windows Doc about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information"

I have rebooted into windows so it's something i'm doing wrong with setting up paralles... i think my windows XP is fat32 partition if that is the problem (i hope not).
 
to set up the boot camp thing i said file delete and deleted all that was checked then i did os install assistant... so i assume it set one up??
 
Sorry, had trouble understanding that. My apologies for not getting back to you, I missed your initial reply.

Did you try setting up a new configuration file from inside of Parallels with the OS assistant.?You can do a spotlight search for *.pvs and delete what comes up, the create the new one after that.

If it still does not work, try opening Disk Utility and mount and un-mount your Windows partition, if it still doesn't work, mount it again, and then see if it works. Playing around with different settings 'randomly' fixes it typically...

I trust BootCamp is partitioned on your Startup disc, right?
