Had not problem installing Parallels on the above system, but now I try to open the virtual machine, it comes up with
There is no operating system installed in the virtual machine.
Please do the following:
1. Click the Power Off button to stop the virtual machine.
2. Insert the installation CD with your operating system into the CD-ROM drive of your computer.
3. Click the Power On button to start the virtual machine again.
4. Wait while installation program starts and follow on-screen instructions.
Consult the following sources for more details:
- Quick Start Guide, How to Build a Windows XP Virtual Machine topic (select Help->Quick Start Guide in menu);
- Online Help, Managing Virtual Machines->Installing Guest OS section (select Help->Contents in menu).
If I edit configuration, use real cdrom is greyed out and use image is checked.
CDROM works fine in Linux and Windows (Presently dual boot). Why cannot parallels see it?
CDROM is /dev/sr0 and /dev/sg1. Change the permissions as mentioned on the forum for both devices to no avail.
Here is the output of the hardware info from yast on the subject.

Is there any way to link parallels and the cdrom or am I SOL on the D820? Did not have this problem with Inspiron 8500.
