Is this possible?
I’m thinking of going to Mac OSX in not so distant future and the setup as above would prove to be very useful. For instance, I know that Windows version of VMWare allows you to use actual disk partition as its disk, but I don’t know if it can use existing installation on that partition.
I would mostly use the virtual machine, except when I would want to play a game or two. Seems crazy to maintain separate WinXP install just for that (not to mention 2 licenses).
[update, Dec 2nd ’06] Oh baby, the wish above is one step closer to fruition.
vmware is not yet available form osx, and parallels can only use harddisk images. Another problem is that you will need different drivers on a parallels or vmware xp than on a xp that runs directly on the mac.
But it should be perfectly legal to use the same windows license for boot camp and parallels (or vmware when its released).

(And thanks a lot for your great forms tutorial, it was very helpful for me to get started with css forms.)
The new VMware beta supports direct x 8.1, and can use the boot camp partition on your mac. Download from here: http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/
It is possible whit vmware.
just instal the windows in bootcamp and when you want to use vmware in os x, you can select the bootcamp partition.
