so here is my problem:

i have been wanting to install xp on my imac but i want to have another partition for files. so i want to have 3 partitions 1 for osx 1 for xp and 1 as a storage one that i can keep files on.

anyway so i already have os x installed and i have tried creating a bootcamp partition and install xp and then splitting the osx partition and formatting one part of it to FAT32, but xp does not start and fails on the loading screen. so next i have tried using bootcamp to create a FAT32 and then splitting that and then installing xp on one of the FAT32 partitions and again it does not work.

can anyone help me with this please i do not know what i am doing wrong?
