So please, give me some suggestion on how to solve this problem. I suppose that the black screen will disappear if I manage to switch off WIndows from Parallels, but I don't know how to do that, it is completely stalled. But I would like to avoid the blanck screen at the beginning, I want to start Windows directly. If I am very fast, I can select to start "Windows" and it works, it starts, and I am happy with this. If "Parallels" is started, Windows does not start, it complains about a file missing in the system32 folder. The default is "Parallels" (and it takes very short time to start, something like one second). Consider that in this moment I am not in the MacOs, I am at the beginning of everythin with a black screen, so the Parallels installation doesn't make sense at this stage.
When I do that, I cannot restart the windows from BootCamp: when I select windows from BootCamp, a black screen appears, asking me if I want to choose "Paralles" or "Windows Xp". But I cannot switch the winxp off: when I open the windows in the parallels it is so slow that it takes hours to do anything, and I am not even able to select the switch off button in the windows system. It never worked well, I want to disinstall it. The Windows XP is installed with BootCamp, so Parallels takes the WinXp installation from BootCamp. Unless OS 10.5 can still recover xp files from the xp.Īnyway, I was hoping someone who has walked this road before could give me a pointer or two on how to go about making this all happen.I installed a Parallels on my MacBook, with WIndows XP. Parallels supports Chrome OS, Linux and even the Windows 8 Developer Preview, which makes it a full-blown virtual PC solution and not just a way of running Windows on your Mac. This can save alot of time vs rebooting and flash driving files. I like what parallels claims can happen, toggle from one os to the other and share files.
Boot Camp or Boot Camp Assistant is a multi-boot utility Max OS X which allows the users to install Microsoft Windows Operating System on Macintosh computers. Boot Camp, Hypervisor, Mac, Parallels, Windows. I also have poser and Vue for the xp and shade etc for the mac. Difference Between Boot Camp and Parallels -Comparison of key differences. I also have a host of other os 9 programs that I really don't want to upgrade, I really like the old versions. I desperately need to run the os9 apps as my rosetta stone was quite expensive.
A dual-boot setup allows you to restart and boot into either your Mac OS or Windows OS using BootCamp.
I also have the 10.5 that came with my mac book. This free option uses Apples BootCamp software to create a dual-boot setup on your mac. I have the mac os9 through panther all separarate legal versions. I have a windows 98 se that the machine is dead, but the software is mine. I have a new version of XP pro still in the box. I have heard about bootcamp, have not ventured. I have purchased Parallels 3.0 already, but not installed. While Revit does not currently have a native Macintosh version, there are still a few options that will allow you to use Revit when working with a Macintosh system: Bootcamp : This allows you to boot your system into a Windows operating system, and take full advantage of the hardware.
