Hey together,

just a short question, is there a HowTo about editing the plist for the installation of Parallels Desktop? Just asking because i've tried to install it and the check for the processor bugs me. I'm still new to all the Hackintosh-Stuff so i need some advice please =)

Oh ... is there any risk in editing the plist thing? Quite unsure because .. again, i'm a noob and would be pretty much fu... up if something goes wrong o.O ^

One more thing about Parallels Desktop, i still have a Windows XP installation on another HDD. Would it be possible to boot up this installation or do i need to install a completely "clean" Windows through Parallels?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

//edit
Ok, i thing i came a bit further. Found this in the info.plist
Code:
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>Level</key>
			<string>requires</string>
			<key>SpecArgument</key>
			<string>machdep.cpu.vendor</string>
			<key>SpecType</key>
			<string>sysctl</string>
			<key>TestObject</key>
			<string>GenuineIntel</string>
			<key>TestOperator</key>
			<string>eq</string>
		</dict>
	</array>
Either i need to edit the "GenuineIntel" part to "GenuineAMD" or i need to delete that array, i don't know. I would try both ways but it always tells me that the file is read only. How can i edit it anyways? Sorry for all those noobish questions but i really want to learn it =)
