No Boot Device Found using 10.5.1 and XP bootcamp

Hello,

I have a problem showing the message "No Boot Device Found"

This appears when using Parallels on Leopard 10.5.1 to run XP on using Bootcamp.

This setup was working fine for me until I had a problem with my CD drive, this was not repairable by Apple so they gave me a new MB. Once I installed my HDD in the new MB, a few drivers were not compatible with the new MB. Parallels still worked but BOOTCAMP did not.

I reinstalled Leopard, new XP bootcamp, latest version of Parallels and then the above error occurs.

I have formatted and installed EVERYTHING at least 3 times, I have tried 3 versions of Parallels but no show.

I have read endless threads on different message boards but no success.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Cheers

 

Anyone...???

 

Hello,

could you please specify the current issue - you can't use bootcamp natively though PD works properly, right?

Best regards,
Alicia.

 

hi,

as i have said above, the error appears when using parallels, as soon as i launch the VM.

XP works perfectly natively with bootcamp.

hope this clears this up.

Hello,

please, check this article. Will the solution from it help?

Best regards,
Alicia.

 

I'm having the same problem. I tried this solution and it still says "No boot device available, press Enter to continue."

This boot camp partition works fine when I boot into it natively.

Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
