Requires Administrator Password
I am using Parallels to run Windows XP for software not available for Mac OS X (eg TomTom HOME/GPS, learning CD's etc). I have set it up to use the BootCamp partition's data. This is on Mac OS X 10.5.1 on a MBP, using Windows XP SP2 with all current updates, Parallels Desktop 3.0 build 5580, using a non-administrative account on Mac OS X. What bothers me is that it always asks for administrative access (Mac OS X) when starting up (asking for the Right system.volume.mount). It also always does a Parallels Tools initialization when starting up.
(When using the BootCamp partition, you can only shut down the virtual machine, not suspend.) Is there a way to change that?

Click to expand.Check out the forums on Parallels website. You need to use the administrator password because you are using the partition created with BootCamp. If you don't need to boot up in Windows (typically for graphic compatibility with a Windows program), you can migrate that installation to a stand-alone virtual machine for use in Parallels using their Transporter utility. If you need to boot into Windows, and really don't like having to use administrator password when starting Parallels (and have access to ANOTHER license for Windows), you can create another virtual machine in Parallels.

A few months back the screen on my Toshiba Laptop failed. I got a new Fujitsu laptop and now I want to transfer the files from my Toshiba Laptop onto the Fujitsu one. But when I take out the hard drive from the Toshiba one and put it in my USB box and connect it to the Fujitsu one I can't transfer the files. You see the Toshiba laptop came with Win 7 already installed, I bought it of Amazon. It had one account on it, an administrator one. It didn't have a password or anything. So now I can't remove it or I just don't know how.

Can anyone help me, how to remove this administrator protection so I can transfer my files from one laptop to the other? A few months back the screen on my Toshiba Laptop failed.

Right click on hard disk or partitionselect propertiessecurityusers(ur usernamE) Edit Allow on all the users.
Can't do it, doesn't allow me to edit anything. Any other ideas? Sorry, haven't been here for a few days. When I was trying to figure out how to get access to my drive I had the problem of changing permissions, but as far as I remember I didn't having any problems changing ownership. Once I changed ownership to administrator I could change permissions without a problem.

Are you still having problems? I won't be able to run another try on my system for a few days, I'm a hard drive short and won't be able to setup a spare for testing until later. But if you are still having problems, once I get a new drive I'll go through that process and see if I missed telling you a step.
