#PARALLELS FOR MAC STUCK ON MAC#

Thanks again guys and I hope some one can tell me what to do, I'll keep you updated of my Vista installation, I guess if it works then I should go and buy another Windows XP (my cds are authentic by the way).Īnd I am terribly sorry for this long post.The home for gaming on Mac machines! Here you will find resources, information, and a great community of gamers. Because they are kind of too old you know what I mean? Some programs we use aren't compatible on Vista.

So I can try and see if it doesn't install or anything, but the problem is that I NEED Windows XP.

Please help me guys, tell me what to do? I am now searching for my Vista CD, I don't know where it went. I don't know what to do, the trip is in a couple of days and I am stuck with this crappy laptop, I swear I feel like selling it and buying a Dell or an Asus laptop so I can use Windows and everything, I barely even use Macintosh. I am pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the CD because I tried it on my Desktop Computers (three of them) and it worked just fine and it was really fast too. Repartitioned and did the whole process all over again, still same error. It formatted but then when it's copying files, it's always stuck on 14% I don't know the name of the file that it's stuck on, it stays on 14% for hours and nothing happens. Then I chose "Format partition using NTFS" and pressed F. I pressed Enter, chose the partition, and everything was going smoothly. I restored again into a single partition and made a new one and chose "Start Installation".Ĥ) After it rebooted and it said "press any key to boot from CD" I pressed a key and then it took me to the installation procedure. So I just gave up using Parallels and wanted to install Windows XP through Boot Camp. At least that's how it was a couple of months ago when I bought my MacBook Pro.Ģ) When I tried installing through Parallels and the Windows XP cd was inserted in the laptop, it gave me the error that's shown in the screen shot above.ģ) I tried uninstalling Parallels, using Boot Camp to create a new empty partition, and then try parallels again but no luck, still the same error. I did the repartition process in order to restore it into Macintosh HD and then use Parallels to install Windows so it would automatically create a partition or what ever ON ITS OWN. The thing is, I am going to tell you exactly what was happening and what I did in order for you to understand my exact situation and what is happening now.ġ) I had a Windows partition that had Vista Ultimate on it.

I've tried to take the CD out and re insert it, rebooted the computer, and tried uninstalling/reinstalling Parallels but no luck.

I then installed Parallels and opened it (my windows xp cd is already in the cd rom and is read by my macintosh osx) but whenever I try going through the installation procedure but I keep getting the same error. Then I used Boot camp again and created a new partition for Windows (45GB) and choose Quit & Install instead of directly installing Windows. I used Boot Camp to restore the Macintosh HD into one partition, so of course the Windows partition got deleted. I have decided to switch to Parallels or VMWareFusion in order to install Windows because it's easier to use rather than having to restart every time to boot in the operating system of your choice (even though Boot Camp is much better, Parallels is better for me at least nowadays).

I had Windows Vista Ultimate installed on my MacBook Pro through Boot Camp. How have you all been doing lately? I hope enjoyed a nice thanksgiving and black friday D.
