I just received a new MBP and it has Parallels already installed running windows XP. The only thing I ever anticipate I'll need Windows for is gaming so I figured Boot Camp is the way to go, but just in case, I'd like to keep parallels around. My question is this: I don't have the disk for XP to install it in Boot Camp. I do have a Vista Ultimate disk which I can use but it seems stupid to have two Windows systems on my computer. I'd like to use a single installation of Vista for both Boot Camp and Parallels. Is this doable? And if so how do I go about setting this up? I've never installed an operating system on a computer before so I'm not sure how this all works. Any help would be coated in chocolate and dipped in sprinkles.
ETA: I have Parallels 4, in case it makes a difference.
