    I have set up parallels to use bootcamp, at first it says when it's first opened that it is unable to open the bootcamp image. After this I click the green play button and then the screen flips around and hangs saying boot from hard disk. Activity monitor says it is operating at 90% of processing power.

    Some info.
    I have a macbook black 2 gig ram.
    Parallels was just updated today.
    I am using bootcamp windows xp professional.
    I tried repairing the MBR.

    $ diskutil list/dev/disk0
    #: type name size identifier
    0: GUID_partition_scheme *111.8 GB disk0
    1: EFI 200.0 MB disk0s1
    2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 70.0 GB disk0s2
    3: Microsoft Basic Data WINDOWS HD 31.5 GB disk0s4

    Any ideas?

    Since you just updated, I would assume you are using build 4560? Could you please post the contents of your Home->Library->Logs->Parallels->Bootcamp.log and Home->Library->Logs->Parallels->BootcampOSP.log files?

    I'm going to try to solve my own issue, I tried booting windows and it didn't work so I am going to re-do my partition situation. I did have a linux windows and mac, and when I tried to work parallels it didn't work, I don't need linux so I'm just trying to get my computer together.
    If you want to try and solve this Partioning Problem then help me out, I will then try to bootcamp windows and use parallels with bootcamp.

    What do you get if you enter this into the terminal:
    Code:
    diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 limits
