still - 3094 bootcamp issue

Paradox

Bit poster
Installed 3094 (above 3036) and configured it to use a "parallels untouched" bootamp partition (NTFS)

Everything went fine; Parallels installed it's tools, all was well until I tried to dual boot in XP
had the dreaded hal.dll error (it may become as notorious as the BSOD :D)

Back in Parallels, check my Boot.ini and things were looking ok, except for the timeout "1" that I changed to 30 just to be sure. Still when booting the VM there's no timeout, the profile selection is automatic and good. No change concerning dual-boot (hal.dll error)

For now I completely uninstalled the tools from within the VM, hoping this would at least fix the dual boot, which it didn't. I had to do a repair of XP from the CD which took about 1h30 :mad:

Anyways, I'll stop using this "bootcamp compatibility" feature until they find a way to make it work -properly- I guess
