    Hello pancreasboy,

    Yes you may create Virtual machine based on Boot Camp.

    Please install Parallels Desktop. Start Parallels Desktop ->File -> New Virtual Machine ->
    Operating System Detection -> Continue ->
    Type - windows and Version -> Windows XP ->
    Custom installation -> default setting or setting as you wish -> continue
    Hard disk options-> Boot Camp Partition
