on my MBP 17, i just installed Snow Leopard, and on boot camp Vista X64 installed, just bought parallel desktop 4.0, but i can' make it works, can somebody teach me how can i install parallel to my already existing vista x64 on boot camp? i tried every way, but still can't make it work,or do i have to delete or remove my existing vista on my boot camp and re-install the vista through parallel? please i need your help. thanks
i installed already the parallel desktop for MAC 4.0 into my snow leopard, so the next step that i want to do, is how can i open the windows vista already installed on boot camp through parallel?
I am not a specialist on the Parallels product, but my guess is that what you are trying to achieve is not possible.
There are more experienced members on the Forum with regards to Parallels, so just wait a little longer and someone will come back to you with a more reliable answer

I use Fusion, not Parallels, but both products allow you to create virtual machines from an existing Boot Camp installation of Windows. Parallels should recognize the Boot Camp partition and offer to create a virtual machine from it - Fusion does just that. Booted into Mac OS, I open Fusion and select create a new virtual machine. There is an option to do so from the existing Boot Camp partition.

thats the problem i have, i can't find that option to create new virtual machine from existing windows on boot camp, i tried and tried, and always ask me to put the DVD on it, or iso, but i don't wanna re-install it due to i have already updated, and install some important programs, but if does not work i think the only way to do is remove the windows i have and re-install through parallel.......
WOW just upgraded to 8GB RAM, and WOW fantastic, never regret, is much faster than i thought, i can use parallel Vista, Xp sp3, Windows 7 ultimate all at the same time, no lag... and lot much faster all application, i strongly recommend if you guys need to work with a lot of windows, trust me it worth it!!!!
