[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 281415, member: 23228"] FWIW, that's what I did. I installed Parallels, installed WinXP for that ... then installed Boot Camp, and installed (same disk) WinXP. You have to call their toll-free number and explain you're dual booting in order to get the second install of XP "activated." Yes, it means I'm using up twice as much hard drive space ... but storage is cheap. Now I can play games (Boot Camp) and also work (Mac OS X + Parallels). It was worth a little real estate on my 120G. Also ... you can run Parallels on a removable disk, so you could go buy an 8G flash memory card or even an iPod and keep your "Windows machine" in your pocket. :cool: [/QUOTE]
