Timed out waiting for file system to initialize

When I installed Parallels to use my WinXP Boot Camp partition, I got an error message reading that more than one Windows partition was found, and that it was not a standard Boot Camp configuration. I posted that error on this forum and got the solution to customize the configuration using disk utility(click here for the solution). Following this solution seems to have fixed my problem, as now I can run Windows, but I get another error when Windows finishes loading:

And my Windows partition is unmounted from OS X

Please help! Thank you.

Hello,

before starting Parallels please go in Finder. There you will see your Boot Camp partition. Please right-click on it and select 'Eject'. After that please try to start your VM again.

Best regards,
Stacey

 

Hi Stacey,
I tried your suggestion, but I'm still having the same problem.

Having the same issue

Since moving to Leopard been getting the same "Timed Out..." message.
I'm a Parallels only install, no bootcamp.

How do I install a new build?

Hey Stacey!

I'm having the same problem, but I don't know how to install the new build. Thanks!

 

Download it and then open the disk image, open the installer, ok through it, and then restart.

 

Stacey,
The new build seems to have fixed my issue. Thanks.
