    I belive with the new beta you do not need them. If you have them installed from beta 1, you need to unistall them before trying to boot with Parallels. I guess they figured out a way to do with out needing something installed there.

    Ok. Any advice for how I natively boot into Bootcamp now? I keep getting the DOS screen that asks me to select which I would like to boot, Windows XP Pro or Parallels Tools, but I cant select either because it wont read my bluetooth keyboard!!!!!!

    That is why. I don't belive Parallels supports Bluetooth yet, not sure. Try to use a USB keyboard. Any USB keyboard will work.

    ---edit---

    Actually....that was quite dumb of me....because its not Parallels emulating a Bluetooth keyboard. ANYWAYS, um...try a usb keyboard? I never really had that problem because I run on a MacBook Pro.

    Sounds like you did NOT remove the old Parallels Tools for BootCamp from the BootCamp XP.

    Removing that using ADD/REMOVE Programs in Windows removes the Boot.ini file that you are seeing. The new version is completely automatically makes the decision for you.
