I've downloaded Bootcamp.  Also found Chipp Walter's excellent  post  
about how to install Parallels to use the Bootcamp partition  
(Nabble's interface is nice, BTW... first time I've used it... http:// 
www.nabble.com/Parallels-Desktop-tf3256305.html#a9086751 ).  This is  
the same idea as you are suggesting, correct?  Given that I already  
have Parallels installed and XP Home running within it, what should I  
proceed to do?  Do I need to remove Parallels and XP and start over,  
or what is the proper procedure?

This  is all somewhat confusing, especially for one as unacquainted  
with the Windows world as I am.

Thanks for your help.
