My Apple MacBook can do it. At first I download and install Boot Camp and install Windows XP Professional with SP2. After that I install all the software I use. Then I bought Parallels Desktop. When I launch it, it asks me to create a new virtual HDD, then I select use existing Boot Camp Partition. Then now I am typing this in my Parallels in XP but running the Boot Camp Partition. Easy, huh?

Even my hackintosh also can boot to my winxp  Parallels or VMWARE can use your bootcamp partition. Save space and save time. But remember, backup your important data first. Cos' few ppl actually encounter their bootcamp partition corrupted after using that. Just my 0.2 cent  |
