    Hi,

    I'm trying to use my bootcamp partition with parallels but i keep getting the message "more than one partition are found...." and i can see i'm not the only one :)

    I tried to change the name of the partition in the pvs file by disk0s3 which is the name of my winXP partition but i still get the same message.

    For the record, i just reinstalled mac osx from scratch, i made the update so that i'm in 10.4.9 and i've installed boot camp 1.2 and win xp and then installed parallels 3188, created a VM with bootcamp, i've got a macbook pro and i'm :confused:

    here's what i got when i use the command 'mount':

    /dev/disk0s2 on / (local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (local)
    fdesc on /dev (union)
    <volfs> on /.vol
    /dev/disk0s3 on /Volumes/NO NAME (local)
    automount -nsl [404] on /Network (automounted)
    automount -fstab [409] on /automount/Servers (automounted)
    automount -static [409] on /automount/static (automounted)

    heres the ide device part of my pvs file:

    [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,disk0
    Disk 0:0 cylinders = 0
    Disk 0:0 heads = 0
    Disk 0:0 sectors = 0
    Disk 0:1 enabled = 1
    Disk 0:1 = 2
    Disk 0:1 media = 1
    Disk 0:1 connected = 1
    Disk 0:1 image = Default CD/DVD-ROM
    Disk 1:0 enabled = 0
    Disk 1:0 = 0
    Disk 1:1 enabled = 0
    Disk 1:1 = 0




    Anybody help !!

    Thanks
    Fab

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I only have one Windows partition on the three internal drives I have in my MacPro. One of the the drives, however, is formatted FAT32, which I'm guessing is causing the problem. Short of pulling that drive out of my computer, is there some kind of solution that anyone might suggest?

    Well, as I suspected, if I remove the internal FAT32 drive, all is kosher. If I pop it back in, however, Parallels will no longer open the Boot Camp installation, giving the same message as above.

    Never mind...found this thread and am studying it now.
