Hey, I'm new to mac and am going to be installing my mac tomarow. I've been researching. Is this how it works in a nutshell?
1.Download bootcamp
2.Run Assistant
3.Run bootcamp & burn driver disc
4. Then partition (this is where it gets tricky)
I heard if I don't do like an 25 GB fat32 File system partition, OS X won't be able to write to the windows folders from within OS X. And it will be forced to format in NTFS.
So if I do 25 GB and format it with fat32 it shouldn't give me an problem? I'll have an nice XP dual boot machine?
5. Eject windows install disc and insert mac drivers disc
I guess OS X will remain default if you don't press Option on boot?
Is this how it works?
