    I am currently attempting to install the parallels software using a previous boot camp installation of Windows XP. I have 3 separate HDDs in Bay 1 I have OSX, Bay 2 Windows XP Pro, and in Bay 3 Windows Vista Ultimate. When I tried to install parallels via bootcamp I get the error "More than one Windows partitions are found. This is not a standard Boot Camp configuration. Please refer to the Parallels Desktop for Mac User Guide, Using Boot Camp Windows XP Installation chapter for instructions on how to configure Parallels virtual machine in case of a non-standard Boot Camp configuration on your Macintosh computer." and am unsure how to proceed. Is it impossible to do being that I have both Windows XP and Vista installed via boot camp?

    I've emailed support and posted here without any reply. Worthless software if I cant get it to install.

    I read the manual and there are no instructions listed for non-standard installation. I guess we just wait until its supported or for a power user to help us.
