I am using the latest version of Parallels. I have my XP on its own disk. I am following this article: http://kb.parallels.com/en/5063 my diskutil shows XP is on disk1s1 mac-pro:~ $ diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *93.2 Gi disk0 1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS OSX 92.8 Gi disk0s2 /dev/disk1 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *111.8 Gi disk1 1: Windows_NTFS Preload 106.3 Gi disk1s1 2: 5.4 Gi disk1s2 Then I set the partition active with: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk1 p verify that its in fact partition 1 f 1 w q In bootcamp I have my pvs file set with the following: [IDE devices] Disk 0:0 enabled = 1 Disk 0:0 = 1 Disk 0:0 media = 1 Disk 0:0 connected = 1 Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp;disk1s1 Disk 0:0 cylinders = 0 Disk 0:0 heads = 0 Disk 0:0 sectors = 0 When I try to run it, I see the "Boot from drive ....." and it just hangs there. Any ideas of what could be going on here?
Partition should be GPT not MBR 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *111.8 Gi disk1 1: Windows_NTFS Preload 106.3 Gi disk1s1 2: 5.4 Gi disk1s2 so this will not work
Thanks for the reply. This is just a standard windows hard drive, so I would guess that they are MBR normally, with NTFS partitions. Is there a way to switch this to GPT?
