    Hi all.

    I have a Ghost boot CD that we use to image our XP systems. The problem is, this version of Ghost runs on Windows Vista. That means to install it I have to create a Vista VM or I get an error from Windows about ACPI not being enabled.

    Initially, after the installation, I forgot to set it to XP. When I installed the Parallels Tools it got halfway through and crapped out. I had some strange behavior which I figure must be related.

    Starting fresh, I did the install again then switched the system to XP before installed the tools. However when I boot I just get a black screen!

    Can anyone shed some light on this? Or is what I'm asking just impossible?

    Thanks,
