sup3r1or Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Okay I have finished downloading Kalyway 10.5.2 Iam ready to go for install, but have few questions. Now I have Windows XP installed (I will pust vista now). I have 3 partitions Drive C , D, E Okay I dont care bout C that much, but drives D, E contain a lof of data that took me ages to collect. So how to install Leopard withought loosing these 2 drives? I plan to PUt Vista on C, can I just make a separate partition for Leopard? I mean I can use Patition Magic and take for example 50GB from my E drive to make a new partition for Leopard. If it is possible, do I need to format new partition to any file system (like Fat32) Or I can just delete is with magic and keep it as unidentified space if you know what I mean. Will that work? Or the only way to install Leopard is to erase the whole HDD? Last but not least, ANY tutorial around how to make DUal Boot, so I can choose between Vista and Leopard (I still need to do many things in Windows) Thanks a million guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113566-will-i-loose-my-data/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
