[QUOTE="Rapinarius, post: 661621, member: 56765"] Issue solved, just needed to flag the right partition before installing vista. Vista couldn’t find a valid partition because its own must have the boot flag. Has installed OpenSuSE before Vista, the Linux partition will have the boot flag instead of the Vista one: Vista won't be able to set its flag until it’s changed manually using fdisk inside OSX. In OSX terminal type sudo fdisk print (see what number Vista partition is) flag # (where # is Vista partition number) write quit chscag, just one question , Parallels and Fusion are virtual machines so the performance should not be very good , right.. thkx [/QUOTE]
