You've made all the tough decisions about configuring the virtual machine, so it's time to install Windows. The process is the same as if you were installing Windows on a genuine PC.
Begin the Windows Installation
- Insert the Windows Install CD into your Mac's optical drive.
- Click the ‘Finish’ button. Parallels will start the installation process by opening the new virtual machine you created, and booting it from the Windows Install CD. Follow the onscreen instructions, or use the Install Windows Vista on a Custom-created Parallels Virtual Machine guide.
