[Advice] How to make 2 partitions and 1 bootcamp drive ?

[mojacko]

hi all. im just wondering if you can help me.

i have 250GB and i cannot use Bootcamp because it only requires 1 single drive partition.

i want to partition my Mac into:
HD 1. Mac OSX (leopard)
HD 2. Window XP
HD 3. partition to save all my files.

currently, im using Vmaware Fusion but it sucks all my memory because i use Autodesk programs like autocad..

anybody care to help? or is there any software to do this easily?

Try rEFIt from http://refit.sourceforge.net/ it will allow you to triple boot so should allow you to create a data partition instead of another boot partition

Hi,

HD 1. Mac OSX (Panther) doesn't run with Bootcamp. Only Leopard 10.5.x run on Bootcamp.

HD 2. Windows XP -> Easy, looking in /Utilities, has a Bootcamp Assistant.

For HD 3. Your files, use a Disk Utility.app to create a partition of your backups.

hi sir. tnx for the reply. i edited my post.. i mean i.m using a Leopard and not panther. :D (im thinking of leopard but instead i wrote panther.. sorry for that..)

but i just want to clear what im asking.. i want to to have a 3 partition. 1 for my OSX leopard, 1 for windows and and 1 for my files.. and what you suggest is only for 2 partions, because bootcamp only supports one sngle partition..

but anyway thanks. :)
