Hi everybody!

I've got 2 simple little questions. I have a Macbook air, and I want to install Windows in it.

My first question is : if I install windows using bootcamp, will it reduce the performance of Windows, compared to if I installed it using dual boot?
What is the best way?

And my second is : I want to have just ONE folder for the music, and I want that when I click on " Music" in the windows explorer, it will take me to the musics that I have got on my mac os x, so have a common folder! How can I do that?

I thank in advance the mac specialists ;)

1. There is no comparison to be made. They are one in the same thing. Using the BootCamp Assistant is how you install Windows if you want a dual boot.

2. You will need something like Paragon's HFS for Windows in order for Windows to read/write to your OS X partition.

Okk thanks!

But when I say " dual boot" I mean on 2 different partition, and the choice of the OS is in a Grey menu, when you start the computer. But I think I'll use Boot Camp!
