Parallels Desktop 4 Mac Leopard Installation

Hello Folks!

I just purchased Parallels Desktop 4. I am on a Mac running Mac OSX 10.5.6.

I read the installation instructions on the manual, but I can't find out if I need to partition my hard drive to use Parallels Desktop 4, or will it install just like any other application without erasing anything from my hard drive?

In other words, can I install Parallels Desktop 4 on my main hard drive without it erasing anything that I already have on this hard drive?

Thanks in advanced for your replies!

cgntoonartist,

You do not need to partition hard drive, Parallels Desktop creates a virtual hard disk on your Mac. You just need to install Parallels Desktop 4.0 on your primary hard drive, it will not affect any data you have on this hard drive.

 

Thank you!
