[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 476198, member: 24098"] I'd say just do a regular install with Parallels, creating a hard disk file. The nice thing about doing it that way is that you won't have to worry about eating up a static chunk of your disk. When Parallels needs more space for XP, Vista... or whatever, it can then just dynamically resize the hard disk file. The other advantage is that Parallels can "pause" the virtual machine easily when you shut it down. If you do this with a Boot Camp partition, it requires that the Boot Camp install be placed into Hibernate mode. This can take a great deal of time to recover from. [/QUOTE]
