In parallels 4 there is a new option to use your Boot Camp partition. it took me about 5 minutes of searching to find it.

Go to Configure, Hardware, Hard Disk, and choose "boot camp partition".

When you do that, set up the new parallells desktop and it should let you use your boot camp partition.

As easy as this was for you, I was not able to find it. I know a lot of people have appreciated this one small thing you did by posting this. A very big help.

Thanks.

ok cool!

but if you do that will it erase the boot camp partition?

and will it show the files you have on the boot camp partition?
