Hey guys,

I got a new 320GB 7200rpm hard drive. I reinstalled leopard (went smoothly) and then now I want to do bootcamp. However, I also would like a third partition as storage. I have the NTFS capabilities in OSX and would like to make the storage partition in NTFS.

I made my leopard partition 75 gigs, with 25 gigs being given to XP in bootcamp. I did not format the remaining space on the drive before doing bootcamp, because it appears to disrupt bootcamp. However, when I try to do this, the xp install automatically gives the xp partition the extra ~220 gigs.

I try to resize the partition with the leopard disk utility (via leopard disk boot) and it does not work.

I simply want my lmacbook to have three partitions:
1 - Leopard
2 - Windows XP
3 - Storage


Can I do this smoothly, without having to start fresh?

I've tried the following instructions:

Muubook Project | Dual-boot 3 Partitions : Mac OS X Leopard + Windows XP + shared NTFS on Macbook Pro « e-liXiR’s Blog

However, I cannot get past the part where you have to eject the CD while in Leopard install. It won't let me eject. And then I go back into Leopard, and it wont let me do the Bootcamp because i have two partitions.

This is very frustrating. Its extremely easy to do in XP, but its impossible in Mac...

I just update my blog. Try again. There is no need to change the CD during OS X installation. I just finish installing Windows 5 mins ago on my new Macbook Pro + 320GB

Thanks!

BUT, every time I've tried that before, XP won't go back into the install after the first restart...

Will that happen..?
