Hi all, I have a Bootcamp with Win 7 and I would like to use it with Parallels as well. 1. Can I use it without problems? 2. Does it import it to a folder or does it run it from the Bootcamp partition? 3. Do the Parallels tools mess up with the Win 7 - when running Bootcamp? 4. Is there problem running Bootcamp - then Parallels and back to Bootcamp? 5. Does the info (downloads etc) stay in both Bootcamp and Parallels? Cheers...
All I can say is don't do it!!!! I'm running on a Macbook Pro, late 2008/early 2009 2.53ghz, 4gb Ram, running Bootcamp with x64 Windows 7 Ultimate. Upgraded Parallels 4 to 5 this weekend and it really killed the performance of my Windows 7 installation in Bootcamp. Ended up reinstalling Windows 7 and just continue using Bootcamp. The main performance issues are booting up/login time not to mention it seems to kill the "cool" windows logo boot splash and replaces it with the dull Vista one.
