    Please somebody help me: I installed Windows XP with BootCamp yesterday and, after, I opened Parallels to make it work together. It tried to install Parallels Tools, what seem to have failed... Since then, every time I try to open "My Boot Camp" with Parallels it shows a BLACK SCREEN.

    I tried to find some solutions on the net, but people often tell me to boot in SAFE MODE with F8... Impossible... I tried all the way possible (if there is another way, please tell me)... with Fn, with F11, Control+Apple, desactivating the keys in preferences... I just cannot boot in Safe mode (to desinstall Parallels Tools!?)... Always the same Black Screen: it becomes very frustrating.

    Is there something to do? Desinstalling everything? (It worries me because I partionned my disk with 50 gigs that I just cannot use anymore :(

    Please help me,

    Thank you.... Yannick

    If it is VM based on Boot Camp,
    in Configuration Editor- Hard Disk 1- Advanced - click Clear
    Note, you need to reactivate Windows
