Hi ive installed build 3120 and everytime i try and start parallels i get the following error:

Parallels Desktop cannot find necessary drivers to configure your Boot Camp partition. Please refer to Help> Parallels Desktop Help> Using Boot Camp Windows XP Installation for troubleshooting.

Can someone please help me out?? Thanks ahead of time
 
Ummm, crazy idea but have you tried referring to Help> Parallels Desktop Help> Using Boot Camp Windows XP Installation? It tells you what to do there.
 
I have the same problem, as stating in another thread.. and yes, I have checked the help! It says it doesnt have the necessary drivers.
 
make sure you have X11 installed. It's on Tiger Disc 1.

Now granted I have another issue now and it still won't work ... but at least it doesn't tell me I'm missing drivers.
 
Using Boot Camp and Parrallels with Vista

I'm having the same problem, but am using Vista Ultimate Edition. I'm a new Parallels user (or am attempting to be one). Bought both Parallels and Vista UE on Tuesday, after reading about the current beta build (3120) and being able to use the Boot Camp partition. Starting from scratch, as I've only had my Mac Pro for a couple of weeks.

I installed the current version of Boot Camp, and installed Vista UE, thanks to some help from another web site that detailed how to get the necessary drivers installed. That part is working great. In fact, the Windows Performance Rating application gave my 3.0GHz Mac Pro a score of 5.3, which is excellent.

Installing Parallels, I ignored the box (except for the serial number) and downloaded 3120. I get as far as the screen shot shown in chreriksen's post of 1/30, but no further. I have not installed X11 as gracemolloy suggested.. as that's for running UNIX programs, I'm not sure why that would be a factor, and it didn't help chreriksen.

Any help?:confused:
