After 4 installs on both my new IMAC and Macbook pro, I have concluded that I WILL NOT trust that Parallels can reliably use my Bootcamp partition. I have had my share of the dreaded Hal errors. I have also concluded that, after hours of useless re-activations, that if I need Bootcamp, I will run it natively NOT through Parallels. My question? I want to delete the BootCamp option in the menu that gives the choice (when Parallels is started). I will ONLY use the VM (Windows XP) option which I have now running fine... Thanks Joe
