Whats going on, I have a question regarding Parallels 4 and my MacBook.

I have a 60 gb Macbook HDD and I would like to setup Vista to run side by side with my Leopard, however I plan on saving EVERYTHING on the "Mac side" of my HDD partition. Therefore, when I setup Vista, should I just set it up for the bare minimal to install Vista? Thanks for the help.

What is the "EVERYTHING" you are talking about ?

Yes, you can store documents, music, movies and pictures on the "Mac side".

However, any PC programs you install will be installed on the Vista partition / container. So you need to leave a certain amount of space of Vista and the installed apps to "breathe".

T,

When I mean everything that's what I meant (documents, media, etc). I'm going to have to figure what programs I am going to have on Vista and the allocate for that. Thanks.
