sheepdog43 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I would go for the fat32. Several people, including myself (twice), have lost whole partitions with Macdrive. Not sure if it is due to multiple partitions, OSX86, just Macdrive or a combination of things. Macdrive is not likely the culprit, but using it in a way not intended could be. Remember, most programs are NOT written for x86 yet, so consider the system a test box. Keep everything backed up.
