    No boot device is available.... ??
    I'm new to PD & today attempted to install Win XP as guest. The program didn't detect what system was being installed & therefore I never saw the screen in which I could enter my Win product key [as mentioned in the "Getting Started Guide"] or user name. The boot order has my CD/DVD ROM 1 first & my Win XP disc is in my drive [a legal copy that I own].

    The error message I got was: "No boot device is available."

    I've read the 'getting started' & have been searching the Forums all day to no avail. I'll put up a screenshot [if I can figure out how]. PLEASE HELP!

    I'm running a MacBook Pro, Leopard 10.5.8, Intel Core 2 Duo, Processor Speed 2.53 GHz, with 4 GB memory [1067 MHz DDR3 - I think] & a 230 GB HD. Parallels 4.0 Build 4.0.3848.

    Thanks in advance!
