WinXP will not more boot

[letslounge]

Hello together,

the WinXP SP2 under Parallels of an acquaintance does not start no more - the black DOS screen with a not moving cursor/Underline left above does not continues.

Any ideas because of which be and/or as I could that to be solved could?

Many greetings and thanks already in advance!

btw.: sorry for my bad english

Is it Boot Camp based VM?

...hi,

no, there is no bootcamp installed.

It seems to be the same problem like here: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=19585

Try safe mode, if you still cannot see screen in safe mode
It is necessary to backup VM as described in Parallels Desktop for Mac user guide from http://www.parallels.com/en/download/file/doc/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf on page 243 and perform Windows repair http://kb.parallels.com/en/5138

...safe mode is also not possible, the same problem - black screen. Also the repair of windows was not possible.
I installed now a new instance of windows in an new VM.

Thanx and greetings!
