I have a boot camp partition on my hard drive. Sometimes I boot into windows; sometimes I use Parallels and windows off of the Boot Camp partition. I would like to clone my parallels virtual machine that boots from a virtual copy of the Boot Camp partition. Is there some way to do this? Thanks!

    Wait, let me see if I get this straight. Are you trying to separate your Parallels VM from your Boot Camp partition?



    In any case, you'll have quite a bit of trouble. Mac OS X doesn't support NTFS writing, so you won't be able to clone to another NTFS volume while in OS X.
