parallels and rescue recovery

[bfeeny]

I have Windows XP on my primary physical drive. I have OSX on a drive in my ultra bay. I want to use parallels to boot the physical XP drive. This is possible, and many are doing it..........you can read about it hear:

There is also stuff on this on insanelymac, just search for "Boot Camp;diskxsy"

In any case, its not working for me, and I think Rescue and Recovery is the culprit. You have to make sure your partition is set active and has an MBR, so I went into "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk1", and set that partition active and wrote an MBR. But parallels won't boot it, it just sits there. I think its because the rescue recovery partition is hijacking things somehow, or messing things up.........anyone have any luck doing this and using Rescue Recovery?
