Running windows on both Parallels and Boot Camp?

[Smatts123]

Hi,
I have a copy of windows 7 currently installed on Parallels Desktop on my MBP and I want to run it via Boot Camp, independently from OSX in order to acquire more processing power and a quicker startup. Is there an easy way to get this setup without having to reinstall Windows 7 from Boot Camp and keeping all my programs?

Thanks,
Sam

Unfortunately I don't believe you can do this, but you can do the inverse (import you bootcamp into Parallels without loosing you apps and such). It basically has to do with the way a VM is created to run and OS, vs how its actually installed onto a partition.
