[QUOTE="DrDaveT, post: 1118096, member: 171779"] Well, I'm almost there. Installing Snow Leopard after copying back my saved HD from the small 60 Gb HD seemed to make it all work. I now have Win 7 installed as a Bookcamp installation, and both show up as they should on option hold at reboot (no more EFI). Then I installed Parallels and installed a VM of the Bootcamped Win 7 installation. That was very simple and direct. And the printers on the network were able to be seen and installed immediately on Win 7. My biggest problems seemed to be not partitioning using GUID, and needing to upgrade to 10.6 and get the latest Bookcamp Assistant and Bootcamp versions. The only issue remaining seems to be activation. I got the Win 7 activated in Bootcamp, then in VM it called for it again and used the phone option, but now it's asking for it in Bootcamp again upon reboot in Win 7. I haven't done anything about it yet, but I am sure someone has experienced this before. What is the solution. Thanks again in advance. ;) [/QUOTE]
