    I have one Windows program I use alot...what I'd like to do is mostly boot into XP via Bootcamp to work on it but be able to fire up PW when I need to check something. Is there a way to have a folder in Mac OS that I can store the data for this program and point to it using either PW or Bootcamp? Or is another way easier? btw I'm a windows networking newbie...

    basically i am already doing this

    see http://forum.parallels.com/thread280.html

    and also http://forum.parallels.com/thread88.html

    the extra to make this work is that u use a disk partion which is FAT32 that way BOOTCAMP XP can read write to it, as well as OSX

    Then SHARE this folder from OSX to PVM

    That way all enviroments can read write to the same space !!!


    BTW if you have 10.4.6 the diskutil contains some additional commands which will allow you to resize your OSX partion and leave some space to create a new partion which you can the FORMAT under FAT32 !
