Parallels with XP allrady installed.

Hello,
it is possible to install Parallels with XP already installed in a HD partition?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I have installed Parallels, in one of the menus it offers to create the MV based on Boot Camp partition. I choose the option and Parallels start creating the MV but an error appears and gets down the MV creation.
I am working, when come back to my home I will provide more error details.
Many thanks for your help.

  • Install parallels with bootcamp already installed

    I want to install Parallels and already have bootcamp installed.  Can I repartition after installing Parallels?

    Repartition for what reason? Parallels will automatically offer to create a new VM using your Windows system already installed in the Boot Camp partition.

  • How to install Windows XP in parallel with Mac OS on a Macbook?

    Can anyone tell me how to install Windows XP in parallel with Mac OS on a Macbook?
    If I divide the hard drive into 2 patritions and install Win XP & Mac OS on each patrition, is it ok?

    I don't think he meant "Parallels", I think he just meant "parallel", with a little 'p'.
    There are three options for running Windows software on an Intel-based Mac:
    Virtualization: you can install software such as Parallels or VMWare (along with a licensed copy of Windows) which will emulate the environment necessary to run Windows software. Performance is significantly degraded, but you can work with both Windows and Mac software simultaneously.
    Dual boot: You can use Apple's Bootcamp to partition your drive and create a CD of Windows drivers for your devices, so that you can then install Windows on one partition of your drive. Your Windows software will run just as it does on any other Windows PC, but you have to reboot to switch between Windows and OS X.
    Crossover: Crossover is a product that allows you to run Windows programs in OS X without installing Windows. Not all Windows software will work with Crossover though.

  • I just installed the new CC apps. Since they get installed parallel to the old ones instead of upgrading, do I un-install the old ones with the un-install app in the old folder?

    Easyebe,
    Are you using a Mac machine or Windows PC?
    If using a Mac machine, go to Application-->Utilities-->Adobe Installer-->old apps names and run the uninstaller for old apps.
    If you are using Windows PC, go to Control panel-->>Program and Features and uninstall the old apps.
    It will uninstall everything related to old apps, but your setting must be imporated to new version of apps.

  • VMware Fusion vs. Parallels (with Boot Camp) -- help please!

    Hello. I have just reinstalled Mac OS X (Leopard) on my MacBook and am looking to install Windows XP SP2. I will be installing a Boot Camp partition -- I know that much -- but I also want to use Parallels or Fusions so that I have the option of running the Boot Camp partition within OS X. Somehow, over my years as a Mac user, I have acquired both of these applications (Fusion and Parallels), and I was wondering if anyone has any information on the differences between the two. Two questions:
    1.) As I just mentioned, I'm just looking for any information on the differences between the two apps -- what features one offers that the the other doesn't -- why I might want to choose one over the other -- and so forth.
    2.) Since I have both apps, would it be possible to have both installed at the same time? In other words, could I have both Fusion and Parallels installed on my computer, and then, when it comes time to open Windows, choose which app I want to open and use? (not sure there'd be any point to this, but just in theory, could it be done?)
    Thanks in advance -- any info in regard to either question is much appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies. Although I've never used Fusion before, I've installed Parallels with Boot Camp partition three or four times before on this computer, and it has always worked great for me, so I know I want to use Boot Camp. And as far as the application goes, sounds like I'll be using Parallels, mainly because it's what I'm used to. That Wikipedia link was exactly what I was looking for -- I had checked Wikipedia before I posted the topic here, but I didn't find that comparison page. Anyways, they look about the same (Parallels and Fusion, that is) for anything I'd be concerned with, but where there were any differences, they seemed to work in favor of Parallels (except for Linux-related features, in which Fusion seemed to have the upper hand, but I don't use Linux). So, again, thanks for taking the time to respond -- much appreciated. Have a good one.

  • Parallels & kernel panics after installing 10.5.1

    Anyone else having this problem?
    If I reboot and start Parallels with nothing else running, it sometimes works. Otherwise, I get a kernel panic!
    I tried uninstalling & re-installing build 5160, to no avail.

    You need update to 5540 for Leopard compatibility:

  • Issue in Parallels with Vista

    Parallels installed with a full version of Windows Vista Ultimate. Flight Simulator X installed with the bulk going to a portable hard drive, flight sim says I have an issue with my video card drivers and that flight simulator will now exit. How, if possible, do I update the video card drivers for my Macbook pro.

    If you absolutely must play games on your MBP and the desired performance and/or requirements exceed what you get running virtualized under Parallels, you can always install the Microsoft O.S. and run natively with Boot Camp.
    You can also try with other virtualization products to see if they work better with your games. Besides Parallels Desktop, you have [VMWare Fusion|http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion> and you have [Sun VirtualBox|http://www.virtualbox.org>. This last one is free.
    Plus, you can try using Windows XP instead of the Vista bloatware.

    Are you talking about changing the keyboard layout when you are working in Windows?  If so, you need to tell people how you are running it (bootcamp, parallels, other) and whether you have already done stuff like

  • Running Dual boot windows 8 and win 7 pro with xp mode installed!! I love it!!

    It took over 2 days to figure out how to adjust the bios to get my win 7 pro DVD to boot and install dual boot on this GREAT MACHINE!!
    Step 1: using diskmgmt.msc you have to shring the C partition. I shrunk it so I had 80GB remaining as unallocated space.
    Step 2: You have to enter the machine Bios adn set the BIOS to Both and UEFI as first
    Step 3: Connect your usb dvd
    Step 4: Put your win 7 pro dvd in the usb dvd drive
    Step 5: Reboot your machine and when it starts press F12 to get the boot menu and select the usb dvd drive then press enter
    The machine restarts
    Message on screen says press a key to boot from cd/dvd
    Press space and it boots up the win 7 pro DVD
    After files copy and load the setup screen asks to accept the agreement and where to install win 7
    BE SURE TO SELECT THE 80GB location
    Then follow thru the win 7 prompts to load it.
    When the machine restarts you will see a dual boot screen with Windows 7 on top as first selection and Windows 8 below it as 2nd selection.
    Make sure to hit enter with windows 7 selected
    The win 7 installation completes.
    You will see many items with drivers not installed dont fret.
    You can load most of the drivers by highlighting the device in control panel/device manager and pick update driver then select BROWSE for DRIVER and be sure to put in drive D:\ which is now the windows 8 drive and hit search.
    Many of the windows 8 drivers installed with no issue.
    The Realtek driver was an exception .. goto to the lenovo site and pick the x100e tablet and download the LAN driver from there  about (4MB). Copy it to flash drive and install it in win 7 from the .exe file. The driver for LAN will install sucessfully. The version of the driver is 7.46 something the 7.11 versions do not workl.
    I have only 3 drivers that I could not find - 2 list as unknown and are related to ACPI or power management and 1 lists as USB controller but all the USB stuff works without it.
    Be sure to either shutdown the system or sign out of win 8 when your done so you get the dual boot menu. If you shutdown while logged into win 8 the next time you start up it will go right to win 8 until you signout and restart.
    Just to let you know an easy way to shutdown is go to the desktop and press ALT + FN + F4 and a shutdown menu comes up on the desktop.
    Once win 7 pro is installed you can download the XP mode free from Microsoft and install it.
    This is of course AFTER you have ACTIVATED WINDOWS 7 ONLINE with YOUR ACTIVATION KEY(you supply).
    ENJOY! This is the BEST machine I ever had!

    It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

  • I bought a mac mini with Lion pre-installed.  If I upgrade my mac mini to Mountain Lion, am I free to install Lion on my older macbook using the mini license?

    I currently have two macs.  A 2008 macbook which is running Snow Leopard, can run Lion, and cannot run Mountain Lion.  I also have a mac mini which came with Lion pre-installed.  I plan on upgrading my mini to Mountain Lion when it's available.  After I upgrade, it seems like I should be able to install Lion on my macbook using the license that came with my mini.
    I have found many articles about making a DVD or bootable USB drive to recover, or install Lion onto other macs.  So, I am not tied to the mac app store.  And I am not worried about how to install Lion onto the macbook.
    I have also read a few discussions about upgrading using pre-installed Lion license.  From what I've read, if someone buys Lion through the app store, they can install it on all of their macs.  But, if they have a machine the came with Lion pre-installed they can only use Lion on one machine.  However it is unclear if that license can be transferred to another machine.
    Another common answer that I have seen is, "Don't be cheap!  Just buy Lion throught the app store."  This is not about money, I'm interested in the technical challange, and the leagal question.
    Does anyone have experience with this, or opinions?

    If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
    If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
    You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

  • I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

    I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10.  When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
    I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
    I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
    Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

  • I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.

    Hi,
    I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.
    The "Staged" folder is present and remains after a restart, but the extensions do not get installed. They show in the extensions page with the "will be installed after you restart Firefox" message and remain like this no matter how many times I restart.
    Any Idea's?

    P.S. Just tried to install the "troubleshooter" add-on before posting the question and I got an error saying it cannot install because it cannot modify the needed file. (I did it manually instead)

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.
