Yes it does. What you have to do is make a copy of the driver.cab file and name the copy to sp2.cab and put it in the same folder as the driver.cab file. Then install the Parallel tools.


Nope - 2 to 2 failed.
The Bootcamp software doesn't appear to work with an OEM version of XP... At least not a VLK.

One thing i think they need to improve is the bootcamp support of FAT32 my XP partition is FAT32 and on parallels it only allows NTFS. but its still a BETA. hopefully they will update that to allow both formats.

Wow, this is killer! I can't wait for them to be able to support Vista (when booting from BootCamp and Parallels from the same partition).

Nope... Same thing... "error 1." bs.
They have a long way to go on this update.

Not quite. There's a program for Windows called MacDrive that lets Windows read/write to/from a Mac partition, but it can't do so natively without help.

The way the copying of files between OSes works in Parallels is via a Samba share on the Mac partition.

please explain "samba share"...!

i now have parallels set up just fine to boot from the bootcamp partition...

-HOWEVER, i have lost the ability of my bootcamp windows machine to read/write from my mac partition!!!!!! AM I MISSING SOMETHING! i used to use macdrive to do this, but it seems to conflict with parallels?


this is very important for me to do....

please assist anyone,

thanks,
