    Hi,

    the virual cd/rom is not recognized in Windows XP when mounting an image. The Device-Manager has no driver for it. Tried installing the paralles tools twice. Didn't help.

    Any solution?

    Regards
    Sebastian

    Hello Spank M,

    1. Inside your Virtual Machine go to Start -> right click to my computer and choose Manage in the drop down menu.

    2. In left panelfind Device Manager and expand DVD/CD-ROM drives right click on Virtual DVD-ROM and
    choose uninstall.

    3. Shutdown VM and go to configuration, remove CD/DVD-ROM 1 device from the list, click Ok and
    add device back. After this start windows

    4. And reinstall Parallels tools.
