Since parralels is a virtual machine you should be good with any methods found here on the forums, except a real biosmod isn't possible because the vm doesn't see the real bios (efi with macs) but rather uses a virtual bios from parralels. Maybe it's possible to place a slic into parralels' virtual bios like it can be done with vmware, that would be preferable over a loader and all other cracks.
Excuse me for the NOOB question, but how exactly do we get this to work? From what I've read, it sounds like we would set Parallels to use the floppy image above as the "Floppy Drive", set the boot order to 1) Floppy Drive, 2) Hard Drive, and then let it do it's thing. I must be missing a step because I've done this but activation is not happening. I'm using Parallels 6. Thanks for the great work and thanks for any advice! EDIT: Nevermind the above, I got this to work perfectly just using the DAZ loader. Parallels makes you enter a Product ID code to install Windows 7, just use whatever one works to get you started and once installed, just run the DAZ loader and all is good.
Are you sure you have to enter a code to install ? Vmware Fusion doesn't require a code. Haven't tried Parallels.
I use VMware Workstation running on Windows XP x64, and I use Windows Loader to activate Windows 7 installed in a virtual machine. I would imagine it is more or less the same on VMware Fusion/Parallels on a Mac (I use VMware Fusion on a Mac but I have not installed Windows 7 in that since my Mac does not have enough memory.).
