Boot Camp and Fusion/Parallels users, which to install first?

So that I only need to install Windows XP once and not have to get two different activation keys? Install Windows XP in Boot Camp THEN Fusion or Parallels?

TIA.

You install Boot Camp first. You activate in Boot Camp first, and then in Parallels. You don't need two keys, just need to activate twice.

It's a wonderful thing to have an activation-free version of XP... :-)



It is what it is.

I had Boot Camp all set up with XPPRo and I just installed Fusion. inside of Fusion Xp now says that my hardware has changed and I need to reactivate XP.
What does reactivate mean?
