[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 319184, member: 23228"] fluerya -- No problem, dude. nickeleye -- Can you be more specific about what details you're looking for? At present, you install Win on a Parallels disk image and separate from that you install Boot Camp which will make a Win partition on your HD into which you can install Win. At some point soon, you will be able to install it in Boot Camp and then when you create a machine/image with Parallels, it will just use the Boot Camp installation. That will save you a gig or two of HDD space. So when I want to play games, I boot over to WinXP via Boot Camp. The rest of the time, I run OS X and if I need a Win application or ActiveX website, I just run Parallels. [/QUOTE]
