QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Dec 17 2009, 12:40 AM) ohh sorry i misread..i thought it cant boot after u press 'any key' ;p its either .iso or .dmg would be fine rite? maybe partition problem, but only for the windows one. can u boot into OSX? actually its not off topic issue...i wanted to suggest u to install using .iso as well  no need to download anything, juz launch Disk Utility. put in the XP CD, go to File > New > Disk Image from (the XP cd). save it somewhere. then open parallels and direct it to install from the ISO u created  no wonder la... thank you so much bro for your assistance...

QUOTE(chewlf @ Dec 18 2009, 12:00 PM) Are you stuck at Operating System Detection page in the wizard? Are you able to continue from that page? I am using .ISO and it's able to continue from there. BTW, I have copied the .ISO file to the local drive. i have passed the OS detection part, where i receive the error in the black screen page, where it detects any OS from any drive... i have .dmg image file located on my desktop, still cannot read... |
