I just set up my boot camp partition and installed winxp.
It is a 200 GB NTFS partition and I want to add this as a virtual machine in Parallels 4, but it will not create the virtual machine because of a read/ write disk issue.

Is this an NTFS problem, should I have gone FAT32 even though the size is huge?

I tried installing NTFS-3g/MacFuse and no difference.

It seems like this would be a common occurrence, but I can't find any info specific to this situation.
