    Hi,

    I've got Windows XP installed on my MacBook Pro using Parallels.

    It was fine up to a couple of days ago, when I got this message saying that the file \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM was missing or corrupt.

    It says that I can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Septup using the original Setup CD-ROM.

    OK, so I've got the original setup CD that I bought in my hand right now. The thing is, I can't figure out how to boot from it. Can anyone help me? I know this is possible in Q, so how is it done in Parallels?

    Thanks very much,

    Matt. Ireland

    EDIT: For people looking back at this, I've found it hidden under Options --> Windows XP and then click on the Boot tab.
