Parallels and which XP version?

[wattage]

I have searched but didn't find this answer.

I remember trying out bootcamp and XP sp2 but they weren't compatible. Does it matter which XP version you use with Parallels? I don't want to buy XP with sp2 and it not work.

They are. What happened that would make you think that they weren't?

As far as I can remember, XP with Service Pack 2 works. Both on BootCamp and Parallels

I kept getting error messages, can't really remember what they said as it was 2 yrs ago. Thanks for the reply though.

A lot has happened in two years. We have a non-beta Boot Camp now, provided you have Leopard.

Try again; it should work.

Just make sure you purchase the retail version and not the OEM as you won't be able to use windows under Bootcamp and Parallels due to only being able to register on one system.
