I had an issue with my install of an upgrade from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit and thought I would share it here in case someone needs the help.
- I upgraded by downloading the 64-bit iso file of Windows 7 Professional Upgrade
- Used Windows USB/DVD Tool to create a Windows 7 DVD boot disk
- Opened the VM config menu and changed the boot order to have the DVD drive first, unchecked the HD box
- started up the VM and performed the Windows 7 install
- re-started the VM and reinstalled Parallels Tools and Internet Security
Running like a champ!
