Partitioning on the MacBook

[captainbrendo]

Hi guys! I am a new mac user after years and years on pc's. Definitely liking the OSX! experience!! Anyways, I still must use XP for some stuff. I just have a few questions about mac partitioning.

1.) Are there any programs out there that can manage partitions without deleteing them??
2.) Has anyone attempted to resize, or create a new partition and install XP on it??

Basically I would like to install XP without wiping my hard drive; is there a way to do this??

Thanks in advance for any help

In order to make a new partition you need to format.

There are apps that will add/remove/resize partitions on the fly (check for them on VersionTracker). I don't trust things fiddling with my partition map. Beyond that, I think you'll find that before you attempt to install Windows XP on another partition that you're going to want to back every thing up. ANd if you do THAT, then you should just erase the drive and create partitions the safe way.
