[QUOTE="ki99, post: 712900, member: 31961"] alright, i may be able to answer some of those. 2)if you run through bootcamp from beginning to end, it will have you install windows, and that will be "windows space", however, if you stop the installer half way through, it will give you an empty partition to do with what you want. (install linux, file storage, ...etc) 3) i know you can have more than 2, but i'm not sure if there is a limit with hardware restrictions, i'm not sure though. 4) yes. via third party software that must be purchased separately (parallels, vmware) i do believe there is a freeware option, but i'm not sure about that, hopefully someone who knows more will come along) 5) if you mean if windows will recognize it, it you have a basic internet connection, than it should be ready to go from the install, but that depends on your internet. 6) i do believe that windows, under no circumstance, can do anything to your mac partition. sorry about #1 i really have no clue, but i hope this helps. i do have vista bootcamped on my computer, so i have done this one before ;) :P [/QUOTE]
