Hi everyone.
As I eagerly await my MBP to arrive next week, I want to make sure I am able to set up my laptop exactly how I want to.
I've read a bunch of threads on this, but I don't want to make any mistakes because I pieced together suggestions from various threads
Here is what I am looking to do:
My MBP has a 250 gig hdd. I want to partition it so that I have a 30 gig partition for Windows XP (for games) in NTFS, a 10 gig partition to transfer files between OSX and XP in FAT32, and a 210 partition for OSX.
I want to set this up right when I receive my MBP in the mail.
So, how would I go about doing this? Would I format the hdd and start from scratch, or?
Also, in what order should I create these partitions to make my life as easy as possible?
Thank You!
