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.
