    Is this possible? I have been dual booting Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux, and settling for only a VM for WinXP via Parallels...but with the new boot camp features, I'd really like to triple boot Mac, XP, and Linux, AND use Parallels to run the WinXP partition while booted into OS X.
    Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    No one triple boots? Hmm, guess I am on my own here. I might have been ambiguous before; I'll try to clarify my question:

    I'd like to have 3 partitions (not including bootloader) on my Macbook - one each for OS X, Linux, and Windows XP SP2. Can Parallels read/write/run a VM from the XP partition in this scenario?

    Thats my current setup (gentoo instead of ubuntu though). The bootcamp stuff is greyed out with this setup :/

    Hopefully this won't always be the case
