Bootcamp Questions

mattc908

Hey with boot camp on my HDD i have tiger (obviously) windows xp, and now i want windows vista. Can i have both vista and xp on at the same time? I tried to install vista and in bootcamp it didint give me the option of creating a third partion. Do i do that in Vista?

I wasn't able to do this yet because BootCamp can only create one Windows partition. So I installed Vista and run XP in VirtualPC 2007 inside Vista.

I don't think BootCamp has been updated for Vista yet



Has anyone tried the Parallels/BootCamp combo yet? If so how'd it work?

A Beta with an update. Great

I think you may need to use an external app other than Boot Camp to create another partition, but I think I read somewhere that Boot Camp doesn't work for more than one partition. Maybe that's one of the features that the non-Beta, supposedly not free version of Boot Camp will tout when Leopard comes out?

So, there's no point buying Vista 64 bit - is it even possible? (I hadn't noticed the (Support for Windows Vista (32-bit) box...)



Would there be an advantage, in gaming, running 64 bit Vista on the Core2Duo 2,33 GHz Macboop Pro ?



Thx guys
