[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1824046, member: 131855"] You can indeed create the file using a program on one partition and full the file into a program on the second partition if you choose a file format that both programs support. Each time you want to switch to a different OS you have to reboot the Mac. If I am understanding what you want to do correctly you could install the second program and the software that you want to run in a virtual machine. Done that way you do not have to reboot the Mac just to run the program that you want to run. Edit: The disadvantage of running a virtual machine is that some programs do not run very well in those circumstances -- especially if the program is very graphics or CPU intensive. If you can give us your Mac specs and which program you want to run perhaps we can give you an idea of the best way to do what you want. [/QUOTE]
