[QUOTE="robhsmac, post: 783479, member: 80976"] I am stuck and I can't seem to find the answer through Google searches. I have a Mac Pro and I am working on installing WinXP Pro SP2 on a second SATA drive. It is a 500gb drive by Western Digital and it happens to be the same size as the Mac OSX drive - 500gb. Because they are alike in size I can't tell which is which in the installer. Here are my options: 476938mb Drive H: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 476938 free 476938mb Drive I: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 200mb free C: Partion 2 (Unknown) - 476938 free My guess is to install WinXP on the H: partition and I just want to confirm this as I don't really wish to wipe out my MacOS on the drive in Bay 1. Can anyone confirm this? I wished this was addressed in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. They only address one drive that is partitioned, not two seperate drives. Also nothing listed shows up with the label BOOTCAMP. Thanks in advance. Rob [/QUOTE]
