    Is there anyway to take a Parallels VM and make it a bootcamp partition so that you could fully boot into it, as ways to avoid things like, Blackberry connectivity?

    You could use Acronis TrueImage.

    I think this is the fourth or fifth thread in the last month...

    Sorry if this had been posted before, I searched and found a number of threads wanting to take a Bootcamp Partition and make it a VM. I didn't see any threads on what I was looking to do which was the opposite. I am d/ling this software and trying that.

    Hi did this work for you? I am in the same boat and have not seen any threads in this forum saying it was possible or that anyone has had success moving a parallels image to a bootcamp partition. Would love a definitive answer.

    Thx

    It's worked for people I have spoken with.

    I haven't actually tried this yet. I am trying to figure out the best way.

    I have a Bootcamp partition with XP on it, but I want either a 2nd Bootcamp partition or to dual boot that partition, just not sure how to go about it. My vista is on a virtual machine and I don't have the install disk anymore, the dog got it, but I do have my xp install disk.
