I want to setup my mac with 3 mac partitions and a windows partition but I've been having quite some trouble setting it up and getting it working.
At first, I had four partitions setup so I reformatted the last one as FAT32 and booted off the windows cd. However, windows only recognized a single partition that's the size of my entire hard drive so it didn't seem like it would work.
I then reformatted my whole drive with just a mac partition, used bootcamp assistant to create the windows one and installed windows. I then repartition the mac one into 3 partitions but now, it won't recognize my windows one on startup.
Current setup:
After doing some searching, it seems like the windows partition has to be the last one and can't be partition number 4 or above. Does this mean you can only have a max of two mac partitions because the windows one has to be the third and last one?
