Hi guys I'm a complete newbie to Mac but i bought one anyway because I wanna use Logic Pro which is exclusive for OS X. I've got some questions and I hope the experienced users can enlighten me so I can proceed with my plan. -I have an 15" Macbook Pro 2.16 2GB 120G. -I need Win XP Pro to run natively to run some heavy-duty Windows-only applications -I also want Parallels to load WinXP from BC partition when I only need to use small applications in Windows. -I prefer NTFS over FAT32 -I prefer to only have 1 Windows installation. Question 1: If i make some changes to Windows (bootcamp) like installing new applications, are the changes going to be reflected when parallels load windows from Boot Camp partition? Question 2: Similarly, will changes made to Parallels Windows (loaded from BC) be saved and reflected when I boot to Windows natively? Question 3: Since OS X can't write to NTFS, how are changes saved? Question 4: If Parallles will use Boot Camp to load Windows, will it still create a large hard disk image? I hope my questions make sense as I am not very good in English. Thank you for your time.
1. YES 2. YES 3. You are running windows uising the NTSF partition not OSX 4. No, their is no image. you are using a physical partion on your HD ajm
