Uninstall Bootcamp?

[mindyjol]

I recently partitioned my hard drive using bootcamp and installed Windows XP. Now, I have been reading about Parallels, and think this might be a better option for me. Do I need to uninstall Windows, or will simply un-partitioning the hard drive do the trick?

Run the Boot Camp Assistant again and restore to a single partition.

Or keep your partition and use parallels to run your windows installation from within OS X. Best of both worlds that way.

Quite true as well but I just switched to Parallels only since I just need to run Visual Studio 2005 and Office 2007.

I save a lot of disk space just doing that in Parallels.

Does re-partitioning damage hard drive??

Ok, but question: Does all this installing, partitioning and un-partitioning hurt the hard drive in any way??

I've done it twice already with no ill effect. It doesn't mean you shouldn't backup though.
