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?

oh... cool... mean if we need use bootcamp and parallel... we already need one copy of windows installed in the bootcamp... that's sweet....

that's a brilliant idea, well, if we need to install two copies of windows, it means, we will need to install duplicate copies of software!... haha...

thanks...
