    Is Windows Server 2003 just not supported when trying to boot Parallels from a physical disk boot camp installation? When I try it I get the following:

    The partition HD icon disapears from the OS X desktop, the CD drive makes a little noise, the Parallels window comes up, flips around to the normal DOS-like boot screen, a parallels dialog then comes up stating, "You are trying to boot via virtual machine into the Boot Camp partition with operating system that is not supported by Parallels Desktop. Booting into this partition may result in data loss and partitions being corrupted. Click OK to stop the virtual machine." I then click OK and Parallels quits. That's it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm running Parallels 3120, Windows Server 2003 Standard, Mac OS X 10.4.8, MacBook C2D.

    Any ideas?
