[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 379696, member: 21101"] No but it might save space. This thread is not clear. Assuming you're starting from scratch and you absolutely HAVE to have Vista installed via Bootcamp and Parallels, here's the best approach. - Get a version of Vista that allows for multiple installs (which is what you're doing) - Install Vista using Bootcamp initially. - Install Parallels - Tell Parallels to boot from the Vista Bootcamp That's it. If you have Vista already installed under parallels AND you then install it under Bootcamp, you'll use twice as much HDD space. I don't really understand why you want it installed twice... doing so just to get the Aero effects I can assure you is a waste of time and disk space... they won't change your life or anything. If you want to drag and drop files, Parallels is great, but you can always partition a a gig of your drive as FAT32 so Vista and OS X can share files. [/QUOTE]
