[QUOTE="chscag, post: 711736, member: 46727"] It's probably best to start over by deleting the Boot Camp partition and re-create it. Run the Boot Camp assistant from OS X, select create partition, restore. That will restore the entire hard drive to OS X usage. Reboot the machine and create a new Boot Camp partition, install Windows again. You can use NTFS or FAT-32 for the format. You can not create a FAT-32 partition larger than 32 Gb. If you do use FAT-32, it can be accessed by both OS X and Windows. Of course if you install Vista rather than XP, you have no choice but to use NTFS. I do not recommend creating another common partition to read\write. Instead it's better to purchase the Paragon NTFS driver which will allow you to read and write from NTFS while in OS X.
