Hi,
I am new to Mac, got it few days back. I have installed Parallel build 3186 today, and after that I am trying to install Windows XP. I have done several time the following steps, but the result is always the same.

1) I start parallel desktop
2) Select Windows Express
3) Select Windows XP
4) Enter product key
5) Insert the XP CD
6) a Terminal gets opened

It says no FAT32 volume found, no NTFS volume found and it exist.

and I am attaching a screen shot of the terminal.

What am I supposed to do?
Do I have to create a FAT32 or NTFS volume, as when i read the quick start guide, it doesn't say that i have to create this?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Use original bootable CD from microsoft. Of couse you may install windows from your cd, but at first you must create partition on your virtuial hard drive (for example using fdisk utility). or make bootable floppy images that comes with XP and boot from it. Did you have PC before buying Mac?
