[QUOTE="Hemingway12, post: 1001093, member: 144309"] Ok so I got a mac about a half year ago and am loving it. I decided that I wanted to be able to run Windows XP on the machine for occasional gaming and a few programs that stream basketball games that are not on Mac. So I got Parallels and it worked ok. For gaming it just didn't cut it though and I decided I want to partition the drive in boot camp. The problem is that even though I have more than the 32g I want to give Windows it won't let me do it. I'm guessing that it needs continuous 32g of room which it does not have. Fine. So use Super Duper to clone my HD onto my external HD. but now what? I think if I wipe out my original hard drive or reset it, I can then partition 32G to windows and then use SuperDuper to clone my MAC OSX HD back to the Mac side of the partition. Do I have to go out and get a copy of MAC OSX to do this? Any help would be great. I'm on OSX 10.5.8 with 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. [/QUOTE]
