ir0n_ma1den Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Today I took out an 80gig harddrive from an old computer I had lying around and installed it in my rig. I used Paragon bootCD to format it into FAT32. Okay, My 289gig HDD is going to be where XP lives and my 80gig HDD is where OSX will live. OSX and its programs can only be installed on FAT32 format right? How much space should I allocate for the OSX install? Is 12gigs fine? Should I format my 289gig HDD into FAT32 so both XP and OSX can use the space or should I keep it NTFS? On a FAT32 format hardrive do I have to create a new partition every 32gigs? thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 OSX installs on HFS+ File system. Not FAT 32. Yeah it can read and write FAT32, and it can read NTFS natively. You can install additional software on OSX to enable write on NTFS too. Bare minimum for OSX without any additional software is around 15GB. I would say use the whole 80GB as HFS+ partition for OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
