    I have Vista running on my bootcamp partition and I would like to be able to access it via Parallels while I am running in OSX. I followed the directions for creating a virtual machine using the bootcamp partition but the virtual machine fails to load. It just goes through its boot-up process and then says something like "failed to boot. Press any key to enter command line."

    Any idea what I did wrong?

    Thanks!

    Oh FYI... I'm running Vista Ultimate so I'm allowed to run it on a VM.

    I am having the same problem. I've been using Vista Ultimate in bootcamp ok, installed Paraellels and it won't boot. It goes through:

    " Booting 'Windows Vista'

    acpi
    Vista Loader 2.1.2

    Done!
    fallback 1
    find --set-root /bootmgr

    Error 17: File not found
    Booting 'Windows NT/2000/XP'

    fallback 2
    find --set-root /ntldr

    Error 17: File not found
    Booting 'Enter Command Line'

    Boot failed! Press any key to enter command line.

    Are you using build 5608?
    If yes in Hard Disk 1 -Advanced button - click Clear
    Note, that you need to activate Windows again
