[QUOTE="d_rock, post: 306558, member: 23511"] Hey guys, I was reading a topic on here ( I couldn't find it through search) where the members were discussing creating a third partition with fat32 that could be used for files to be shared between the Mac and XP partitions. They decided the best way was to make a partition with Bootcamp that would later be split into the NTFS and fat32 during the Windows installer. I was looking through the PDF readme that comes with bootcamp. It shows a screenshot of the Windows installer screen with the partitions on it. I can't see how/when I would create the fat32 partition. The readme says not to create partitions at this point or to change anything because it could mess everything up. I want to create, say, a 50 gig partition with bootcamp. I then want to split that partition into a 20gig NTFS partition for XP and a 30gig fat32 partition for files. How do I split up the C partition created with bootcamp to accomplish this during the Windows installation process? [/QUOTE]
