Boot from bootcamp via parallels

[David-fr]

hey all,

I've bootcamp set up on my 2011 MBP but I can't boot my bootcamp partition from parallels I read somewhere that It was possible. Is there any guide on this?

I'll like to boot with bootcamp to play games and use parallels with bootcamp when i need to run IE for work apps.

Thanks,
David

You can use your windows partition that was created by bootcamp within parallels. Its basically the same thing as creating a windows VM but you're using the already created windows install.

As for how to do it, RTFM. I'm sure parallels already has a write up on how to do it.
