Do i need to partition my hard drive before i install Parallels 3.0? Do i need to purchase partitioning sofware (ie ipartition) or is there a prompt when i install Windows? I'm totally new to this, and a little confused, thanks for your help. |

Since you want to run resource intensive applications, you should stick with the Boot Camp method as Parallels can limit performance. Go to Apple's site and download Boot Camp. Install it and run through the Boot Camp Assistant. It will partition the drive and create a driver disc for you.  June 2007 July 2009 |
