    Currently it is not possible to use a Boot Camp Vista partition in Parallels, only XP. It would be really handy to be able to use a Vista partition. Any guys working on Parallels know when this may be implemented?

    I'll 3rd that. The product is pretty useless to me without it.

    I just tried with 3188...no luck, the option is grayed and I tried to fake vista as XP, it doesn't start.

    PD 3.0 supports Vista Boot Camp partitions officially - in the Boot Camp section of the manual for 3.0, Vista is mentioned wherever XP SP2 is.

    I haven't tried this yet - I'm downloading 3.0 now but I'm home from uni and on a pitiful link so it's gonna take about 45 minutes to complete. I'm a Christmas "maintenance" customer but I haven't received my key yet - am hoping a trial key will last long enough for Parallels to sort it out. Although the way this download is going the key might've ran out by then :mad:...

    Yay!

    I'm currently running Parallels 3.0 and it is BRILLIANT... I am writing this in Vista running from my installation of Boot Camp...

    Parallels ROCKS!

    Call me dense, but I can't figure out how to do this. Whenever I select Vista for a new OS, the "Bootcamp Partition" option is disabled. How did you pull of this trick?

    Don't select Vista, use XP virtual machine type and just run it anyways.
