[QUOTE="Kinley, post: 565106, member: 45354"] I will suggest different approach to this solution: If you use VMWare fusion for your XP that will work really fast :) you will have automatically mounted your home directory form MAC OS X so you can share file between, by using spaces on mac you can work on booth of them at the same time and don’t see any difference. By doing that you will save disk space since you can allow 20GB for VMWare image but this will grow with your system so at the banging if your XP will require just 1,5GB of space that’s the image size :) [/QUOTE]
