When I bought the iMac I'm using right now, I didn't know about Bootcamp being "picky". Hence I did what I usually do, I partitioned its HD into 6 partitions (included one for Bootcamp itself) and copied/installed all my data and apps. Only AFTER this, I discovered Bootcamp wants a HD with just one partition; thus, to comply with that I would need to reformat my HD. > Bootcamp will handle this for you; you can add, delete or > modify the bootcamp partition using the utility, and it will not > affect the rest of your data. Yes but, as far as I understood, ONLY if my data reside in just the only ONE partition. What I thought I'd do (and what would have been much user-friendly), would be telling Bootcamp "Would you kindly* install on the partition I tell you to use?". Alas, that's not the way it works (and, being free, one cannot even complain. ;-) If you know differently, please let me know. * 10 bonus points for who recognize this quote. :-D -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
