Moving from BootCamp to Parallels

Am now using Windows XP with BootCamp and looking at switching to Parallels 5 and get back the partitioned HDD space. Any tips on the transition?

 

Hello,

After you install Parallels Desktop 5, you can either create a new virtual machine based on the bootcamp partition :

Or you can migrate the windows xp to Parallels using Parallels Transporter:

Hello Bob,

I would suggest you to install the full version of PD5 than upgrading as it will be faster and easier.
