?· Select and install virtualization software for your MacBook Pro. You can choose from several popular virtualization packages for the Mac, including Parallels Desktop for Mac, VirtualBox and VMware Fusion. VirtualBox is a free, open source software package, while Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion are commercial software products

?· Install Windows within your virtualization software. You much purchase a copy of the Windows operating system if you do not already own it; it does not come with the virtualization software. Most virtualization software includes a wizard, or assistant, to guide you through the Windows installation. Windows will now run in a "virtual machine" on your MacBook Pro.

?· Install your Bernina Artista Embroidery Software on your virtual Windows system. You install software into the Windows virtual machine the same way you do on a physical PC.

?· Plug the Bernina security dongle into a USB port on your MacBook Pro. The Windows virtual machine acknowledges the dongle, and may ask you if the USB dongle is to be used with the Mac or Windows system. The dongle is a hardware device that provides copy protection for the Bernina embroidery software.

?· Run the Bernina Artista Embroidery Software by choosing it from the Windows Start menu

You can install Windows 7 on a MacBook using either Apple's Boot Camp, VMWare Fusion, Parallels, or a combination of these.
Once you have finished installing Windows 7, you should shut it down, insert the gray disc #1 that came with your Macintosh, then start up Windows and let the disc contents autorun. This will install Windows drivers for the Apple hardware. If the disc does not autorun, just run it manually from My Computer.

The easiest, and my personal favorite, is to use Parallels Desktop for Mac:

If you're not into desktop virtualization (running an OS inside of another OS at the same time), you can do something called dual boot, in which you'll have the option after you turn the computer on to use either Windows XP or Mac. You'll have to reboot everytime you want to switch, though.

Remember to keep a current backup of your data before attempting a Windows XP installation.

Parallels won't have caused this, Bootxchanger might have but it's not likely. More likely is that you HD is faulty.
A largish number of white Macbooks shipped with faulty Seagate HD which, although fine to start with, started failing after about 1 year of use.
I've seen 3 in the last six months.
Thankfully the HDs in these MacBooks can be changed in just a couple of minutes, the bad news is that the data on the drive is generallycompletely destroyed.
Try starting up from your install DVD, but not do the install. After you get asked about language, at the next screen, go up to the menu bar and locate disk first aid. Run that - you may be lucky and it fixes it or you may not.

Ahh - Parallels is working but can't locate the disk image for XP (assuming) that was created by Apple's BootCamp.

Locate the image "disk0.hdd". Once found, copy it to your "Documents/Parallels/My Boot Camp/ " folder (you're logged in on the Mac as jeremybrunelle right ?)

Install bootcamp. It is the certified parallel for the dual core. If you already have it installed, try installing XP again, or Vista.

If you purchase a program called Boot Camp, VMWare Fusion, or Parallels you can load both XP and OSX to run dually or separate.

Hi toy4runner,

Did you check the permissions of the folders that need to be openend by parallels to get to the file? (just select the folders one by one and for ech of them press apple - I and check the permissions section of the information pane. Chnaces are Parallels is trying to access a folder but doesn't have the right permission.
If all seems okay, check this:

Hope it helps

I would suggest you look in to Apple's Bootcamp. Although you do not want to run in a dual-boot configuration, Bootcamp allows you to create a CD with all of the Mac's windows drivers.

I appologize but I am not totally sure if 1) the Bootcamp drivers contain a camera driver and 2) if the camera works at all within Parallels.

Worth a shot though.
