[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 783739, member: 38928"] Sorry just need to dive in here, don't mean to cause offence but: 1. you don't need to reactivate windows in parallels you just need to syncronise the MAC addresses. Windows requests a re-activation because the virtual network adaptor has a different address to that of your Macs real MAC address. The info is on the parallels site but i can post it if required. 2. you should always do a full format when installing windows on a drive that hasn't been ntfs formatted before and especially when installing under this circumstances. This forum and others are littered with issues where people just quick formatted. mrplow [/QUOTE]
