Wanna ask... Is 3dmax can b install in virtualbox
Mode?

look in the VM settings (not the parallels Preferences), there should be an option to disconnect the superdrive

sorry i dont have it installed anymore cannot give exact tutorial hehe

On your parallel desktop menu on the Mac side, click on the devices tab and check disconnect cd/dvd 1. I'm not too sure, but give it a try

Not sure but if it needs 3D support from your graphic card h/w then you probably need to do it in bootcamp?

I just reinstalled my Lion and decided to bootcamp windows 7.

After I installed win7 the driver is not installed. Inside the USB disk i created to install Windows7, apple downloaded a lot of drivers, I mean "A LOT"

I need to setup every each of them?

@nles,
how much space did u partitioned for Win7? I wonder 100GB enough or not.
Was thinking of installing some games in it.

im using macbook air 128GB so I dont have much space to partition.

But it's so large compare to install on parallel desktop.

I install with parallel desktop win7 only 9GB, I partition 20GB expected I got 10GB space but after installation, the windows7 eat up 15GB of space, now left 5GB.

u need to prepare 2 kind of usb...one for the window 7 installation and the other one for the window updates (driver) that you can
download at the boot camp setup...
after you complete the window 7 installation, you need to restart and then you need to install the driver which is the window update
( the second usb that i mention above...)... after that i think you can access your window 7 in boot camp with no problem...

hope this can help you...

i think my battery decrease even tho i put my mba into sleep in window 7 but i don't get this problem if i'm in mac osx...

Has anyone ever run games on PD7? Some said that PD7 can run games smooth and faster than previous version. for me..it never prove the fact yet. i hv a mbp13 2010 running on 4GB RAM and 120G ssd. since i used ssd, i removed bootcamp and PD5 and switched to PD7. games are running sluggishly when i run it on PD7. Is it bcoz the allocated RAM for PD7 only recommended for 1G? Or do i need to upgrade the RAM so that the game can run smooth? Hope u guys can advice..i've finished my studies..now i need to fill up something b4 i get to sleep..hehe

anyone has experience in changing from virtualbox to using vmware or parallels?

i've created a virtual machine with virtualbox and am planning on trying out vmware and parallels, the virtual machine file is in the vmdk format, do i just open that file straight with vmware or parallels?

google hasn't given me a clear answer, hope sifu's here can help, otherwise i'll be trying out and reporting here

vmdk sounds like virtualbox probably using vmware format. Download the vmware trial and see if it has a way to import vm created from virtualbox or not. Best is to do fresh installation..

i got pd running on windows XP ..
how can i transfer file from osx from & to windows side by side ?? (like drag&drop thing)

You can have both Window and OSX side by side.

Then simply drag and drop the file.

how to set it ??
