...I got parallel's and want to just use windows 7 this way. What do I need to do to delete the partition of boot camp and then run parallel's to install windows 7?

Don't delete it. You can install Parallels and point it to your Boot Camp installation, and run that.

This way if you ever do use Boot Camp, you're using the same Windows installation that you'd be using via Parallels.

Thanks. I was going to ask that as well but figured someone would point it out.
