[QUOTE="G.9, post: 231247"] Can someone please confirm that these steps are correct? Use the [url=http://images.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/pdf/Boot_Camp_Beta_Setup_Guide.pdf]Apple BootCamp guide[/url]: 1. Step 1 (Updating Computer's System Software/Firmware) goes normally 2. Step 2 goes as written, except make three partitions... one for Mac OS X, one for XP, and one for my personal files I want accessible on both OS's. For the OS partitions, the amount of space available also means the amount of space available for programs, etc...? 3. Step 3 goes as written... Windows will be formatted as NTFS and the personal files folder will be formatted as Fat32. So finally, there should be three viewable hard drives... one, the Mac OSX, the Windows XP, and personal files partitions? And perhaps another option... the [url=http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/]MacDrive[/url] tool... it basically works that so if I had the personal folder in Mac, without using a seperate partition, I could access it in XP?
