[QUOTE="togril, post: 624010, member: 51827"] Hi MrPlow. Thanks - I have it finally sorted: When I looked at the partition options in the XP install I saw that windows would in fact be a fourth partiion - (don't ask why - they don't show up on the mac osx disc util. I think they are part of the process for the disc image stuff) - very bad for XP. SO: I did this: (for anyone with the same issues): Used iPartion with the mac in target disc mode and set the OSX partiions to: "viewable in windows = OFF" Set the startup disk in prefs to "Windows" restarted and held "C" down for the windows installer boot CD. Formatted the Windows partition:D (everything else was unkonwn due to tiPartition) installed windows. Installed the Botcamp Drivers (automatic on inserting osx intall disc in xp) Installed 'refit' boot loader and blessed the machine with the refit bless tool. Enjoyed my dual boot multi partition machine. :D :D :D Thanks for your help. Esp' with the formating. I'm gald it wasn't VISTA!! W. [/QUOTE]
