Hi,
I'm about to finally buy a Mac Pro (after a lot of delays) and I'm contemplating installing Windows XP in addition to using OSX.

I've read conflicting accounts about how to configure a Mac for use with Windows.

Do I have to install XP *on the same internal hard drive* as OSX (in a different partition, of course) or can I put it on a different, internal drive?

Also, if I choose to not install XP right now, how easy/difficult would it be to transfer OSX to a new (probably bigger) hard drive in the future, so that I can also install XP at that time?

Thanks for any help that you can give me,

GVDV.

With the mac pro you have the option of installing Xp on a seprate internal drive if one is available. Its not nessary but it makes sense to if you have a spare drive. You would be perfectly fine installing on the same drive as OS X, you will need to partion it of course.
