Then Parallels kept cycling thru windows trying to start up the boot camp.pvs without success. When I tried to start VM using Parallels (step 8) I got the msg "Autochk program not found - skipping AUTOCHECK". So I followed "uotony's 9 step procedure outlined above. I needed to upgrade to XP Service Pack 3. I have been running without a problem for a few months (always from Parallels using Boot Camp) Today I booted from Boot Camp for the first time since I installed Parallels 3.0. Need help! What didn't I do? I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.4 Parallels 3.0 Build 5608. The kb John linked to gives a more detailed / technical explanation. If I had done all my updates while booted from the XP Boot Camp partition, both the Boot Camp 2.1 update from Apple and the Windows updates (SP3) from MS, before setting up the Boot Camp partition as a Parallels VM I would have never had the problem. It was cleaning Parallels off of the Boot Camp partition / VM then reinstalling it so it could deal with the changes of updating to SP3 that fixed the problem. So, in answer to your question NoAnxiety, it was not updating to Boot Camp 2.1 or uninstalling SP3 that fixed the problem. I then restarted the XP VM and reinstalled Parallels tools and all is working fine now. The solution was to follow the direction uotony describes in steps 6 and 7.
#BOOT CAMP 2.1 FOR WINDOWS XP MAC OS X#
I then rebooted into Mac OS X and set up the Boot Camp partition to work as a VM in Parallels.Īfter a few more 3rd party software installs I rebooted the Mac from the XP partition again to install SP 3.Īfter installing SP 3 I ran Windows Update and installed the remaining updates that were applicable to my XP setup.Īfter this I rebooted into Mac OS X and when I opened the Parallels XP Boot Camp VM it was at this point that I had the endless rebooting loop at startup problem. Then using Apple software update I installed Boot Camp 2.1 drivers. I then installed the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers from the Leopard DVD.
I started by installing XP Pro with SP2 on the Boot Camp partition using Boot Camp Assistant.
