[QUOTE="skaheadpunk, post: 712909, member: 45677"] 1) I just started bootcamp, and I made a partition. Can I modify this partition in any way? (Add space, remove space, etc...) Dunno about that one. 2) So you create a partition. And how does that allow you to install window? Does that partition turn into "windows" space? You've divided your hard drive into two. One bit has OS X, the other one is blank for you to install something else to. 3) Can I have any number of partitions? Until I run out of space? You can, but I don't see why you would want to. 4) Is there any way to quick switch in-between the two OS's? Restart. Otherwise you might want to check out VMWare Fusion or Parallels. 5) Does the computer already recognize the internet or will I have to reconfigure that? If you boot in Windows it's like having a new computer. 6) Can adding windows onto your computer harm your computer? In other words, can the installation go wrong at all and do something bad? The Windows side of things could go wrong, but that Mac side should be ok if it does. Seriously, get the trial of Fusion and try that out, might suit your needs a bit better than partitioning and installing Windows if you want to be able to switch quickly or use both at the same time.
