    Page 62 of the Parallels user manual shows OSX Snow Leopard Server 10.6 as a guest OS. When I try to set up a new VM and proceed with the install I get the message:

    "Mac OSX can't be installed on this computer."

    Any ideas, please?

    Does the VM HDD need to already be formatted?

    Any ideas here? I was resesarching VirtualBox and they mentioned the following... was not sure if this might also hold true for Parallels?

    "The Mac OS X Server installer expects the harddisk to be partitioned so when it does not offer a selection, you have to launch the Disk Utility from the "Tools" menu and partition the hard disk. Then close the Disk Utility and proceed with the installation."
