Hello everyone,
Hope you can help me on this one to save me wasting some time and hard disk space...
Since I moved to a MacBook Pro I don't have a RAID setup for Mac OS X so I can use bootcamp, but I have a question about this.
If I install my Windows XP Pro x86 licence onto the machine using Bootcamp and activate it etc, can Parallels read from the partition or does it need its own installation (ie. do I need to install it twice?).
I know you can migrate from Bootcamp to a VM but is bootcamp still operational.
I really need to run Bootcamp for 3ds Max as I want to learn this app but the connivence of running Windows for say doing basic work in AutoCAD in OS X would come in handy too.
Hopefully all that makes sense to you all.
