[NPMUG] Snow Leopard and Parallels for Windows

[Tony Auretto]

I've attached a pdf question and answer sheet that I received from 
Parallels re. the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Hopefully it will be helpful.

 Hello, all -
      

      
I suspect more than a few of you use Parallels for Windows. I've 
just gone through a time-eating hassle upgrading one of the machines in our 
household, and I want to save you from going down the same blind alleys.
      

      
If you ARE a Parallels user, make sure that you upgrade to 
version 4.0 before you install Snow Leopard.  I tried just the 
opposite, and it didn't work.  Parallels v3 will not work in Snow 
Leopard, and you can't run the v3 to v4 updater _after_ you perform the SL 
upgrade.  Happily, I had a bootable backup on an external Firewire 
drive, (I have a Neptune from OtherWorld Computing,) so I was able to 
restore the MacBook Pro to its initial state and start over. Yay backups!
      

      
Best,
      
Marty Swartz
