[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 692873, member: 21101"] Lets be clear about this: an upgrade disc requires a previously installed version of Windows, OR a full previous version of Windows CD ROM, to be used. This applies to any install, including Parallels and VM Fusion. If you try a clean install of an XP upgrade disc on Parallels for example, it will ask for you to put in the original disc prior to installation. This is not just a technical restriction, it's an EULA one too. Bootcamp will ask the same question (assuming your upgrade disc is at least SP2), and the only way to show a previous version is to have it on an external CD-ROM drive, as you cannot eject the XP disc without cancelling the install.
