So I downloaded Parallels Desktop the other day off their site and everything loaded fine. And now when I want to download windows I'm at a problem. In my macbook there is currently a CD jammed in the disc drive and I don't have the money to fix at the the moment. So I have entered the key into it and all that now it just comes to the part where it asks me to insert the disc or locate the file. I have got the files onto my mac (setup.exe) but I can not click it (doesn't give me the option). So is there anyway I can get windows onto my mac without the CD?

I didn't download anything I have Windows XP Home Edition a real copy I just can't insert a disc to load, any help!!!! I need to start gaming with my mac (Mac has terrible games)

First of all, have you tried sticking a small paperclip into a very small circular hole that should be near the button on the drive that is normally used to electronically open it?

Also, you can download a program called VMWare Fusion via bit torrent. It is a great virtualization software that allows you to install Windows/Linux/any os onto your mac. If you want to, you can download "Windows XP Performance" or "Windows XP Corporate" and install it via VMWare. These operating systems that I mention are barebones, don't require any activation or serial #'s either. what i mean is, its legitimate windows xp, it excludes any and all software that isn't required by the system to run. this includes a huge amount of garbage, so it's a good thing.
