Running Windows on your Mac
Can you make a partition 1st (w/Disk Utility) and THEN use Boot Camp/install Windows?

[QUOTE="NPuter, post: 537779, member: 34479"] as far as I know......no you can't just use disk utility to create the partition someone else can probably explain this better than I can...but disk utility does more than just create the windows partition it modifies the partition map which allows the booting of windows (I don't know the specifics) I have tried using your method (bypassing bootcamp) and it simply did not work... after windows was done installing and went to boot - the screen read "disk error... press any key to continue" well... thats as much as I know someone please correct me if I am worng [/QUOTE]
