    I have been using PD7 for a while and am quite pleased with it, apart from the latency in USB/MIDI when trying to use a Keyboard?

    Is there a quick way now all my Windows XP is set up, on PD7 that I can use this same Windows install for Bootcamp?

    Is bootcamp easy to set up with PD7 installed?

    I am thinking a dedicated Bootcamp setup with Windows XP maybe simpler than trying PD7 and the latency problems

    Best and easiest I've found is to do an image backup of your Parallels Windows partition using any number of Windows based backup apps from within Windows to an external partition like a thumb drive or USB drive. (Windows Backup does nicely for Win7 Pro users). Then after doing a full Boot Camp install, do the restore using your backup app.

    Ok thanks, just realised though that Bootcamp won't now run Windows XP on Lion.. so I think thats out, and i'll have to stick with PD7
