So I have a fun filled Boot Camp Install going on, and I just installed Parallels. Parallels can see the install, but when I try and run it I keep getting the same error.

Parallels unmounts the Partition, but then gives me the error "Unable to open disc image 'Boot Camp'".

I tried reinstalling parallels, but that didn't help me at all. I can still boot into XP through Boot Camp.

Check out their fourms to see if this is a known issue, or an easy fix, also see how VMware's Fusion is. There's few threads here about it and while its a personal choice I found Fusion to be superior.

I did a lot of searching, and hair pulling, and whatnot. Until I realized that I was a build behind in my copy of Parallels. A quick update fixed it all. I need a vacation. (Another one)
