OK, I've printed out and RTFM about using Bootcamp, but given the huge number of problems I see on the forum I would like to ask some final advice before starting the process.
I have OSX 1.5.2
My Mac Pro has 3 hard drives right now. One is for OSX, one is a scratch disk and one is my media contents drive, all formatted for Mac.
I have a nice new 500GB drive that will go into drive bay 4. I would like to use half of it to store a bootable clone of my OSX (using Superduper) and half of it for my bootable Win XP installation and Windows software.
How should I go about doing this?
Install the new hd and let OSX format the whole thing for Mac (OSX extended journaled) then use Bootcamp to partition half of it for Windows (can it create an NTFS volume or just a FAT 32 volume)?
Or, create 2 partitions with OSX, one as OSX extended journaled and one as FAT32 and then use Bootcamp to install Windows to the FAT 32 partition, letting the Windows installer create an NTFS volume on the FAT 32 partition?
Or some other way?
Thanks for any advice.
