I'm trying to get an XP image up and running on Parallels 4.0 for MAC. It detects the O/S and starts the install process but then just hangs at the very 1st screen. I read of others having problems installing from the CD so I created an ISO image (http://kb.parallels.com/en/4664) using Disk Utility and still have the exact same problem. Anyone else experience this issue? Thanks, -John
try to create iso using steps bellow, pay attention to step output for every command, there should be mo error 1. Insert CD/DVD source 2. Start Terminal from Applicatins/Utilities, you can then determine the device that is you CD/DVD drive using the following command: $ drutil status Vendor Product Rev MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E GAND Type: DVD-ROM Name: /dev/disk1 Cur Write: 8x DVD Sessions: 1 Max Write: 8x DVD Tracks: 1 Overwritable: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB Space Free: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB Space Used: 364:08:27 blocks: 1638627 / 3.36GB / 3.13GiB Writability: Book Type: DVD-ROM 3. Umount the disk with the following command: $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1 Disk /dev/disk1 unmounted 4. Create the ISO file with the dd utility (may take some time): $ dd if=/dev/disk1 of=file.iso bs=2048 5. Test the ISO image by mounting the new file (or open with Finder): $ hdid file.iso
