Bootcamp! Crapcamp more like it!

what the crap is a gibibyte? I thought they based the it on a straight up number of bytes measured in 1000s but once you formated it in binary form (1024) it ended up giving you less? (are the 1000s related to gibibytes?)😕

lmfao

Giga is a standardised prefix that means 10^9 (bytes in our case). Because data units are measured differently (powers of 2), new prefixes that reflect this difference were invented. A gibibyte (GiB) is 2^30 bytes (1024 * 1024 * 1024), but as I said, software companies (including Apple and MS) still call these units "gigabytes".

i've been trying to delete my XP partition and restore to the full 231GB for OSX 10.5 for about 6 hours. it just sits there and says it's working. my partition was like 10GB and all that was on it was Windows. why is this not working? should it take this long? i partitioned with Boot Camp Assistant and i'm trying to partition back with it too.

i would start from your Mac OS X install CD and try getting rid of the partition from the disk utility (Applications -> Disk Utility).

you might also try starting a new thread with this question -- you will get more responses that way.
