    Hello,

    I installed a fresh version of windows xp sp2 pro on my bootcamp partition, then I installed the drivers from the Mac installation disk 1.

    After that I booted back to mac and installed Parallels desktop, then I ran Bootcamp and activated + started to update my windows xp trough it. I noticed that while running windows xp the bootcamp harddisk disapeared from my desktop in mac? Anyhow after all updates where done I tried to boot again on bootcamp but it said chkdisk not found or something like that.. than 0.5 seconds blue screen and it rebooted. Tho it still worked fine in parallels??

    Anyhow no problem I removed my bootcamp partition and uninstalled Parallels and Made again a fresh install of windows xp with all updates (this time done in bootcamp itself).

    After that I booted again in mac.. and it seems to be that it doesn't recognise NTFS disks... they don't show up, even not my external hard disk?

    Is it possible Parallels changed something about my configuration? or is the only option reinstalling mac os?

    Regards Glenn.
