[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 369993, member: 24098"] You can share a Windows XP partition between Parallels and Bootcamp, however, you must create the Windows XP partition using Bootcamp first. By default, Parallels creates a "virtual hard disk" file that acts as your XP partition during the XP installation process. This file is stored on your OS X partition and is not accessible from Bootcamp. When you install Bootcamp, the Bootcamp assistant literally splits your existing disk structure into two actual partitions. Parallels is capable of accessing that partition instead of using a virtual hard disk file. [/QUOTE]
