    I am about to upgrade to 4.0, but I want to save my Win XP Pro image in a SAFE place - WHERE is that image located just in case 4.0 screws my image up permanently so I can go back to 3.0 if I need to?

    Thanks

    Most probably it's Home->Documents->Parallels or Macintosh HD->Users->Shared

    *.hdd file

    Now do I just save that file - or should I copy and save the entire Parallels file structure to someplace safe such that Parallels 4.0 can not touch? I want to make sure I can get back to 3.0 if 4.0 screws up.....
    Thanks.

    And, by the way, how long does it take to get an activation key - I asked for one on Friday (I am eligible for a free upgrade since I bought 3.0 in Oct).

    Thanks again
