Using Boot Camp and VM Fusion

I need some advice. I am currently run XP with VM fusion. Can I also run XP through Boot Camp without uninstalling VM fusion? There is a program that I need to run on XP that requires a dongle. But XP can't read the dongle ID. The VM Fusion support people told me to try and run XP through Boot Camp instead of VM Fusion. This is my first Mac so I'm still learning. In short can I instead of clicking on the VM icon to start XP can I start it up through Boot Camp?

Thanks

You need to load a new copy of XP in the boot camp process.

No you don't need to worry about Fusion. Although it will recognize the boot camp partition and boot it as a VM if so desired.
