    My configutation :
    -MBP C2D 2,33 G with 2 Go Ram
    - Leopard 10.5.1
    - Windows XP (installed with boot camp)
    - Parallels v3.0 build 5582 (French version)

    I am unable to create a VM based on the boot cam partition. I follow all the steps, and at the last one which is in French "terminer" (a kind of "Create" in english), nothing happens!

    Thanks for help !

    Please in the 'Finder', browse to 'Applications' - 'Utilities' and double-click the 'Terminal' application icon.
    Type the diskutil list command and press Enter.
    Please provide me with tha output of this command.

    Best regards,
    Stacey

    sorry
    in the same time I have tried (successfully) to modify the boot camp disk

    It has start now, with your first file modified (supress old bootcamp ref and ask for use of boot camp disk)
    right now it is installing Parallels D tools...
    I will confirm you asap that all is definitely right

    Thanks for all !!
