I have 2 physical hard drives in a 2010 MB Pro (250GB SSD and 80GB SSD).

Can I use a combination of Parallels and Bootcamp to load Win 7 on the 2nd SSD (80GB) and put OSX of course on the main hard drive and then be able to share data between the 2 drives/OS's?

Reading the Parallels FAQ I know I can use it to virtualize the WIN7 install off the 2nd SSD without having to reboot into WIndows and I can ALSO (if I choose) reboot into the dedicated Win 7 install using bootcamp.

What I don't know is if I can share data between both OS's either by booting with Bootcamp OR with the Parallels loaded as a vm.
