[QUOTE="jdcollins, post: 680582, member: 55215"] Alright guys I'm hoping you can shed some light. I have the intel Macbook with a 160 gig hard drive. I am trying to set it up to where I have three partitions - one mac, one windows, and one for all of my files (music, dvds, pictures etc). That way I can download all the files onto the third partition and not have to worry about locating them in each operating system. Well I all ready had vista and osx running on here with bootcamp and found it impossible to shrink the vista partition down any smaller than 50 gb (was trying to get it down to 35). Now I just have my 35 gb mac partition and the rest is free space. Sooooo what I am asking is how would I go about creating another 35 gb partition for windows and have the free space left over? I tried making the mac partition 70 gb then using bootcamp to divide the partitions equally, however when I went to XP setup it said the bootcamp partition was 111 gb (the rest of the hard drive). Thanks for any help guys. [/QUOTE]
