Hey guys,

I've been scouring these forums for long enough getting answers and now its time I have to ask a question of my own.

I just purchased a new copy of Parallels Desktop 4.0 and I want to install windows XP onto my macbook.

Before doing this I wanted to ask if it is safe to do it without installing on separate partitions. I know when bootcamp first came out I read about how it works and I know parallels is different being virtual and all.

So I have a 250GB western digital in here with one partition and I want to know if its safe to install directly onto this drive with my existing osx files. I.E. No partitions.

Sorry if this is a newbie question but I've tried my best and could not find any answers.

Thanks guys,

Arthur
