- Parallels For Mac Cannot Uninstall Windows Xp Program Installer
I'm in a jam and i'm looking for someone who can read to help with my specific problem. Parallels support has been absolutley worthless responding 4 times to my issue with the same BAD information ... as if they did not read what i was asking. Hoping someone here can help.
Running OS X (10.6.2) and Parallels 5, build 5.0.9310
Unexplainably, i no longer could load the Windows XP VM and need to do a repair or reinstall. I found support in the Parallels forum that addressed my issue (kb.parallels.com/en/5138 - Repair the installation of Windows XP in Virtual Machine both ordinary and Boot Camp based).
Seemed all well and good ... but have the following issues that are stopping me in my tracks:
1. When I open the VM Config editor ... and clicked on the CD/DVD 1 option (there is no specifically worded 'CD/DVD-ROM' option as mentioned in 5138) there is no option to set 'Emulation'. There are also no 'Options' on the left side of the configuration editor (as stated in 5138). I can however change the boot order as instructed under the 'Hardware' tab on the VM Config editor.
2. Upon inserting the XP CD in my drive windows begins to load ... but I am stopped by another error message that reads:
SCSI controller not installed
Network bootrom is installed
Trying to boot from the CD-ROM drive ... failed.
Trying to boot from the Primary IDE drive ... failed
A disk read error occured
Parallels keeps responding to follow the instruction in 5138 ... but that is not working!
'Help!'

Uninstall Windows 7
Dec 02, 2014 This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. After upgrading from Windows xp to Windows 7, I had the Geek Squad install a 'Parallels' program to operate my PC within my Mac. I had previously installed Microsoft Office Professional 2007 on my PC. I had Windows XP installed using Parallels. I got rid of the Parallels trial as I bought VMWare instead. In order to clean up my LaunchPad I found that I had to find the following directory: 'Windows XP Applications' and delete it. To find where the directory was I typed into spotlight 'internet explorer' without the quotation marks.
