I ran ghost off of a custom made Windows PE CD that I made using UBCD4win. So, in order to re-partition everything (and I can't simply run boot camp for reasons I won't care to get in to), I had to make an image of my OS X partition (using CCC) and then create an image of my XP installation using Ghost.

I originally gave XP only 10GB thinking I wouldn't use it much but I was wrong. I have been running XP on my macbook pro for a while but recently decided that I made a mistake when I originally set up my partitions. I may end up returning Parallels if I cannot use it for Ghosting and hi-speed USB access. I emailed Parallels but have not heard back yet. I may try and remove Parallels alltogether. I then tried reverting back to Bootcamp, but I cannot partition the drive now that Parallels is there. So, basically, Parallels does not support hi-speed USB yet. It comes up (in Windows) and tells me I could get better performance from my high speed USB device if I connected it to a USB 2.0 port. I have to force Parallels to restart.Īlso, Parallels is not supporting USB 2.0 harddrives.

I can connect and start a Ghost session from within my Parallels but after the process starts, my Parallels Windows XP virtual machine locks up hard. I had to setup the Network Adapter in Parallels to have Ghost start talking with the intended "client" computer. Sorry for the late response! I have Parallels loaded and am running a VM with Windows XP Pro SP2.
