Hey guys, while I might not be a n00b at Macs (I'm not, lol), I don't know what I'm doing with this Parallels Desktop that I just bought and Boot Camp.

Is there anything I should really know? I really don't want to screw my system up. Any tips?

I'm going to be installing Windows XP Home or Pro, depends on which disk I find first :)o).

I'm running on a Black MacBook 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM (coming in today) - 512MB standard meanwhile, 80GB HD.

How big should my partition be? I don't plan on playing any games or listening to any music on the partition, nor photos, it's just the Just in Case™ scenario. :p

Anyway I can remove that Windows icon from the desktop in Tiger? I won't want it there... :eek:

Thanks!
