[QUOTE="thebeartrack, post: 399457, member: 31454"] Just got my new iMac 20" and I want to begin installing my Parallels. My goal is to install my Home Ed Windows XP with Service Pack 1 from my Dell to run my sewing software and Quicken. 1) Am I spliting my Ram (1Gig) or creating a Virtual Drive on my HD? 2) Should I create a Slip disk to install my XP and Service Pack 2? Is this legal to do or must I purchase another new copy of Windows XP? 3) I want to keep everything VERY simple until I get everything up and running like it was on my PC. 4)Any suggestions for transferring files quickly from one computer to another? I have been off my G4 for five years and things change very quickly. 5) I am 67years old so KISS (Keep It Simple, Sweety!) Many blessings on you all for this excellent forum! Granny Bear [/QUOTE]
