[QUOTE="ccfc1972, post: 594969, member: 47286"] Hi. I am a recent convert to the world of the Mac, have a new iMac 24". I have just been trying to install Boot Camp and am having a few problems. I managed to partition the disk (opted for 32GB) and i know have a Bootcamp icon on my desktop, saying 31.88GB available, so that seems to have worked ok. The problem is when i try to install windows and I get to the part to select the correct partition for windows. The install instructions say to select "C: Partition 3 <BOOTCAMP> [FAT32], however, when i get to that part, i only have one option, which is C:Partition1 (unknown) 131072MB (131071MB free). So, is the XP set-up disk not recognising the new partition, or did I do something wrong? Please help, I badly need to get XP installed. Many thanks in advance Rob [/QUOTE]
