[QUOTE="Cam, post: 588950, member: 20124"] I've just discovered my flat mate has vista, and I therefore have to try it immediately! I've been dual booting using bootcamp with osx and xp for 18 months and it's been great. I don't want to have to go back any steps, I just want to have the option to boot vista on startup. I partitioned 32gb for xp using bootcamp when I first set it all up - would I have to partition this again in windows and run vista from that, or can I use a partition from another drive (does bootcamp allow me to partition another drive to run another os?). I imagine it would work fine if I installed it on a new partition of the bootcamp partitioned 32gb, but that drive is then getting a bit tight for space. I've read plenty of reports of people booting all 3 os's, but their descriptions all seem to start from the beginning (downloading bootcamp, etc...) any ideas? edit: awesome, my 69th post - maturity, aint it great [/QUOTE]
