    Hi guys. I am wondering if it is possible to install windows in bootcamp, even though i installed windows on parallels? I don't want to have to re-register, and it would be good if i had all my files there too. Is this possible? Please tell me if i am not making myself clear, it is kind of hard to word what i am trying to say :p

    Yes, you can install Windows in bootcamp, but you will have to activate it. If you have run out of activations, call Microsoft and tell them you are reinstalling on the same machine. They will give you a key. When the next release of Parallels comes out, you can create a VM that will use your bootcamp partition, although I can't believe it will be as table as separate VM and bootcamp installations. The current beta will do what you are asking for, but it's beta so don't use it unless you want to be a beta tester.
