Parallel's For Mac

Mac

INFORMATION When you troubleshoot an issue of keyboard shortcut not working in virtual machine, before proceeding with advanced troubleshooting, please check two important options which are influence on keyboard behavior in virtual machine: 'Send system shortcuts' (Parallels Desktop preferences -> Shortcuts ). Take a snapshot by clicking on Parallels logo > and choosing Take snapshot on Mac menu bar to save (back up) the current state of your virtual machine in case of any unpredicted consequences during the troubleshooting process.

Parallels

Dear experts,
I have a MacBook with MacOs Tiger. I installed Parallels, and I tried to install WInXp from parallel, but it didn't work. It took an unreasonable amount of time (after one night it still didn't complete the installation). So I installed WinXp via Boot Camp, creating a partition. If I use it from the startup, it works well, but if I try to use it through parallels, it is very slow, very difficult to work with. In addition, the coherence mode doesn't work: if I give the command 'use coherence' it simply ignores my command. And also, when I start the parallels virtual machine, the WinXp partition is no more seen by the MacOs.
Are these normal behaviours?
Thanks,
Massimiliano
