Will Ryan Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'm looking at this guide, http://www.nedprod.com/Niall_stuff/MacOS%20X/ and I'm confused on this step. Make at least a 6.5Gb primary partition by shuffling around your existing ones using PartitionMagic. It has to be primary like FreeBSD requires. You might also want a FAT32 drive so you can access your Windows, Linux and MacOS X files from all three systems. I made a partition, I think it was NFSC or whatever that's called. Was I supposed to make it NFSC or whatever? And how do I do the bolded part? And for all dual boots, is it like boot camp? Like when you start your computer, do you click if you want to run xp or osx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbub Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 He's probably just saying to make a drive partitition that's FAT32 because osx, linux, and xp can all read and write to fat32 without any issues. os x and linux can't write (safely) to ntfs partitions, they can only read them. If you're just playing around with os x, I wouldn't really worry about this, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
