A new BootCamp confusion. If I make a Parallels VM on my iMac 20" Dual Core 2.0 GHz with 2 Gb ram and use BootCamp from the OS Installation/Custom "Select virtual hard disk option:", is Parallels actually COPYING the BootCamp HD that I have set up to a VM, or is it USING the existing BootCamp virtual HD on the separate partition? In other words, is this just a quicker way to use an existing bootcamp setup, allowing me to boot into Mac OSX and still acess and use the BootCamp disk I formerly had to restart to get to, or is this making a Parallels VM and MOVING the Win XP install from my BootCamp to a NEW Parallels VM? Also, what about security? One of the virtues of BootCamp was that it allowed increased security--no crossover between op sys's, and it wasn't virtual, but actually written to the disk with all that that implies. |
