Is it possible to convert a third-party virtual machine to a Parallels virtual machine?
You can use disk image save/restore software like Acronis TrueImage or Norton Ghost to export the operating system from third-party VM and import it to Parallels. An “out of the box” conversion utility is in scope for future versions of Parallels Workstation.

Does Parallels Workstation 2.2 support 64-bit platforms?
Parallels Workstation 2.2 runs successfully on 64-bit platforms if a 32-bit primary OS is installed on it. Support for 64-bit primary and guest OSes is in scope for future versions of Parallels Workstation.

In which guest OSes can I use the Parallels Tools?
Parallels Tools can be used in any Windows guest operating system starting from Windows 98. Currently there are no guest tools available for Linux guests. A complete tool set for Linux guest OSes is in scope for future versions of Parallels Workstation.

I've powered on Virtual Machine and got a black screen with a message “No boot device available”. What's wrong?
Such situation happens when the hard disk is already partitioned but hasn't yet an Operating System installed. Check that you have your bootable and installation media connected and the appropriative Boot sequence ('CD-ROM, Hard disk, Floppy' or 'Floppy, Hard disk, CD-ROM') is set in the Virtual Machine properties.

When using wired NIC, I can’t connect to the Internet from the guest OS. I see packages being sent, but none are received.
Each Parallels virtual machine operates exactly like a stand-alone computer. This means that your virtual machine will obtain the IP address directly from the DHCP server, or you can manually configure it in the same way you have configured your primary OS in order to establish Internet connectivity.
If you have configured your network connection, but you still can not connect to the Internet, there is a high probability that you have two real network interfaces on your Primary OS and the network cable is plugged into only one of them. To fix the problem, make sure that Parallels Workstation 2.2 connects to the interface that is connected to the network.
To do this, first power off the Parallels VM, then click the ‘Edit’ button. When the window appears, click the ‘Network adapter’ in the left pane. Select the connected interface from the drop-down menu in the right pane, under the ‘Bridged Ethernet’ radio button. When complete, save the configuration and power on the VM.
