    Hi, I just tried the 3036 and 3038 build for Bootcamp support. Before, I installed the provided Bootcamp support in my WinXP Bootcamp as asked. It create 2 Profiles and 2 HW profile. I can choose the Parallels Configuration and Windows start booting for 1-2 sec. and then blue screen with a message that say "Windows prevent booting to prevent damages...".

    My partition is NTFS for Bootcamp...

    I don't know what the problem could be ? Any suggestion / help before deleting my Bootcamp partition and create back all that. If it work well after, I could delete my VM Hardisk and get back that 12 Gb :D Also, it will be easier to maintain 1 WinXP installation than 2 !!

    hope some Parallels guy could help ! I can provide a Screenshot of the BlueScreen if needed. Maybe a hint : In boot camp, I have 2 Partitions. One C: 14 Gb and one D: 6 Gb...

    I'm having the same problem on my MacBook Pro. I only have one partition in Boot Camp with 20GB. I am also using NTFS.

    Thanks,

    Same here... Mac Pro, 2nd hard drive...

    And the bad thing is that it crashed both... I can though get in through Safe mode from the Parallels side, while the BootCamp side just restarts and restarts...

    Must have to do with some driver the parallels install...

    Please help us here someone!!!

    Lot's of serious data are held inside the WinXP...

    :mad:

    Do you have antivirus (like Kaspersky) installed into your VM ?

    Note: you can install Windows XP in Parallels and connect BootCamp as second disk to access your data.

    No antivirus software on my bootcamp partition...

    I have no antivirus software on my bookcamp partition but I'm still getting the same error. Would a screenshot be helpful?

    Thanks,

    Mike
