Hi,

My current setup is OS X 10.6.3 with Parallels 5 Desktop and Win7 Enterprise.
I'd like to purchase the full version of Parallels later today (hopefully I can the license on my Mac Mini & MB legally with updates to the current version).

I have Win7 Enterprise however the VM that its on is part of Parallels 5 Desktop Trail. If I install Boot Camp do I need to install Windows 7 Enterprise all over again? If so I figure the best way to transfer my Win7 User Profile & Apps is to use the built-in Win7 Wizard.

Is it possible to transfer over my VM into Boot Camp in order to run that Win7 natively?

Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks for the reply. Looks like that was written in 2006; but looks decent.

I'm a bit worried as the instructions are not too keen on properly setting up a BartPE HDD/USB Key ... I previously had no luck setting one up to be honest.
