Hi every1,

Just got a new Macbook 60GHz 2G Intel Core Duo 1Gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
as part of the laptops for teachers program here in VIC.

Kevin ,

Did u get an answer to this    ?

I am guessing you have an error in your description above....
should the 60GHz really be 60 GB  as in a hard drive ?

Does this mean with your present partitions you have
  52  GB for Mac and then   8   Gb for the XP    ?

And a short answer is that while there are some options to rearrange partition sizes ,
they are full of    DANGER  .

Your best procedure is to     REFORMAT    the drive , which of course
means a complete reinstallation after the reformat .

Mac would be easy if you had an external firewire drive , use something
like Superduper to copy all your Mac info onto the external drive ,
and then it's available to copy back after the reformat ..

As for XP I know nothing about that ... not even what formatting is needed on the Hard Drive for it.

Older Macs used to use HFS plus formatting , but the Intel Macs are using something else ..
might be....  guid . I have no experience with it.

HTH

It came bundled with XP installed in a partition of just 8GB. Is there
any way of increasing this partition size for XP to say 20GB or so?

TIA

Cheers,

Kevin from Wycheproof.
