Using Parallels and Bootcamp on same Windows installation?

[yg17]

I'm just wondering, is it possible to use the same Windows (Vista) installation/partition with both Parallels and Bootcamp? Say, I just need to do something quick in Windows, I can use Parallels, but if I don't want to virtualize and want Windows to get the entire CPU, I can boot into Windows completely.

Thanks

Yes it is. Look on Parallels web site for info on this.

I plan on doing this but not until Boot Camp gets out of beta (Leopard) and Parallels Beta isn't the only version that supports this. Running two beta programs to run an OS scares me. 🙂

You have to use Parallels from here:

Beta-quality programs to run a beta-quality OS. Makes sense 😀


Thanks 🙂

I just don't want to lose my "gone gold" quality documents!

Doing exactly that right now but with XP.
