Fresh Bootcamp+Parallels (XP) install

Gentlepeople,
Please forgive me if this is well covered elsewhere, but a bunch of searching the forums and reading the release notes and docs. I've just rebuilt my MBP onto a new disk, and was looking forward to trying out the new parallels functionality to utilize a bootcamp partition. So, what I'm looking for is the "recommended" path to this setup. Do I do a standard Bootcamp install and then create the "custom VM" from inside parallels? Do I activate XP from within the bootcamp setup, or do I wait until I boot inside parallels? Do I load the bootcamp drivers into XP before or after the initial VM setup? Are there other considerations I should have in mind?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
- Jim

I'm interested in this as well. I recently changed out my Macbook HDD and I would like to be able to use Paralells and Bootcamp with one windoze license.

Thanks!
 
I too would like to know,if you can install win xp in bootcamp and then use it in parallels as well. Presently I have instaeld win xp in bootcamp and also installed it on parallels. This doesn't seem to be the way to do it.
