Hi all - I hope someone can help me - I have TRIED reaching out to Parallel support to no avail. I have created a virtual desktop - and then it tells me to install an OS - and I had downloaded the XP trial and renamed it to an .iso file -- and I keep getting a message saying "No boot device available...." I am so frustrated - I don't know how to do this and I have been at it for HOURS. Does someone have a dummy step by step guide that they can help me with? Many thanks in advance Mel
What was the original name of the XP trial? Are you sure it's a real .iso? Can you mount it in the Finder with Disk Utility? Read the .pdf documentation at: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/resources/documentation/ Basically, you should be able to select the .iso image for the CD/DVD device, and it should boot as long as the Boot Order is set to CD/DVD first which should be the default anyway.
