[QUOTE="budafied, post: 772483, member: 52583"] Hey guys, I got a new 320GB 7200rpm hard drive. I reinstalled leopard (went smoothly) and then now I want to do bootcamp. However, I also would like a third partition as storage. I have the NTFS capabilities in OSX and would like to make the storage partition in NTFS. I made my leopard partition 75 gigs, with 25 gigs being given to XP in bootcamp. I did not format the remaining space on the drive before doing bootcamp, because it appears to disrupt bootcamp. However, when I try to do this, the xp install automatically gives the xp partition the extra ~220 gigs. I try to resize the partition with the leopard disk utility (via leopard disk boot) and it does not work. I simply want my lmacbook to have three partitions: 1 - Leopard 2 - Windows XP 3 - Storage Can I do this smoothly, without having to start fresh? [/QUOTE]
