I'd like to ask you about the problem with install of the Windows XP on Mac computer. I have Parallel Desktop 4 and tried install Windows XP from original Microsoft CD.

Instalation started but stopped several times before screen point "Windows Installation" (just after " Install preparation" - or similar cause I have Polish installation CD and Polish alerts).

Windows cannot go through this point (and install succesful). I still have alert on bottom virtual zcreen: Parallels Tools are not instaled (when trying install - installation not works).

Thanks in advance for helping me.

Make sure that CD-ROM is enabled and connected. You can check this in configuration of the virtual machine on CD/DVD-ROM page.
Under Boot Order menu item move CD- ROM to the top. If the above did not help then try creating ISO image of the CD and install Windows from the image -- http://kb.parallels.com/en/4664.
