    The title says it all. How do I do it? I'm trying to make MacDrive work. Any way to clean the Boot Camp partition in Parallels 4?

    In Parallels 3, there's an option to remove everything to do with Parallels from the Boot Camp partition (Edit > Virtual Machine > Hard Drive > Advanced > Clean). Is this possible with Parallels 4? I'm not using Parallels with Boot Camp anymore, I prefer the isolated VM.

    We do not install anything inside Boot Camp partition, thus no clean option,.
    Just remove Boot Camp VM, if you do not want to use it

    You really reply fast, thanks! Ok, that's good to know. Just something, after cleaning (and removing files/registry entries) a damaged Parallels 3 Boot Camp VM, MacDrive still doesn't work. On the MacDrive site they say the only way is to re-install Windows. Please tell me there's an easier way! What exactly would Parallels do to stop MacDrive? Some messing around with the MBR? Or worse?

    Thanks in advance,
    Will
