A little help . . .
I have a Boot Camp partition with Win XP installed.
I have Parallels installed with a seperate installation of Win XP.
Is there any speed advantage or any other advantage of blowing off the current Parallels install of Win XP and installing a new Parallels virtual machine using the Boot Camp install of Win XP. (I believe this is do able). So I would have a single install of WinXp that would work in both modes.
Is there a down side to this sort of an install?
Will it save the space of an entire install of Windows?
Will I still be able to boot into Windows natively (Option key on boot)?
If I install windows software in the Boot Camp partion will it then show up in the Parallels virtual machine and visa versa?
Thanks,
Phil
