When either box has a conniption I just restart and immediately switch to the o Oh, so even you pro's have cantankerous machines?! ;-) I don't feel so bad then.

>Great! Then I can have Windows on one drive, OSX on another and get >rid of the Dell tower! I'd love more desk space around here! I use a KVM. I like it because I can switch from heaven to hell and back again in seconds. When either box has a conniption I just restart and immediately switch to the other box. Having two computers on the floor does not take up any space I would miss. Most files are on a server so can be accessed from either box. * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] More MacPro tower questions
Contamination! That's the word. Well put. Well, you know what I mean. Trojans, etc. Windows will not be able to read the HFS+ formatted drive without special drivers. If you don't do anything like that, you should be safe. Great! Then I can have Windows on one drive, OSX on another and get rid of the Dell tower! I'd love more desk space around here!

[CGUYS] More MacPro tower questions
If I get a MacPro with 2 drivesone with OSX of course.can I put Windows on the second drive and use Parallels or boot camp to run it? If I have it on it's own drive, will the Mac drive still be at risk of infection if the Windows part gets a trojan infection? I haven't put Windows on my laptop because I just didn't want to risk contaminating it since there is just the one hard drive.
