Using Parallel’s version of Windows for Boot Camp (MAC)
August 2nd, 2016
Hi, am a long term MacBook Pro user trying to figure out if it is possible of using the Windows XP version i have from Parallel’s to install through Boot Camp?
I know it is possible to use a Boot Camp version of Windows with parallels on a mac.
Sorry for the poor explanation i couldn’t phrase it properly. David
Probably not many members here conversant with your problem.
Google and have a browse around MAC forums.
Let us know if you come up the answer as this will help others.
so u mean you already have windows installed under parallels? and want to know if you can have it installed under bootcamp and parallels at the same time? if so then im pretty sure that should be OK to use same CD but im not quite sure if thats waht u were asking
I am meaning like having only one boot file not two in the way that suggests. I only want one boot file because then it would stay up to date when am running windows or mac or mac and windows at the same time
I’m using mac os x leopard and have installed windows xp on other partition (you make the other partition by using boot camp), if you have installed windows on a secondary partition you can use that partition in vmware fusion, I don’t know how it’s possible with a legal version of windows xp so i had to use a cracked version of it because windows says ,every time you start windows (or via second partition or via vmware fusion) , that youre hardware changed to much (because if you use both systems vmware “creates” its own hardware), and then after 3 times you cant use xp anymore (so i’ve used a cracked version).
I hope you can use some ofmy info
thanks man
Install windows xp using bootcamp
Paralells will see the windows xD partition and offer to run from it
