i'm a mac fanatic, it works very smoothly and the design is beautiful, it doesnt have all the faults that a PC has, less viruses less malfunctions plus much better graphics.

Bottom line: MAC kicks PC's butt.

Dandy it is best to use an external drive for backup, The price in not very costly and besides it Gives you an opportunity to put the Time Machine of Mac to use.

yap. the rumor says it on june 9th. but still we dont know yet if its for sure. :D

well about the third partiton, i need the third one to backup my files. because if anything bad happen, i can always retrieve my files if i will restore the first partions.

the second one is for the windows because i need independent OS that will not share MAC so that the speed is more reliable.

Dandy, For Bootcamp to be activated you need to have a disk with single partition to start with. So if you have more than one partition, backup the data on the other partition and delete it so you have a single partition. ( you can delete and resize partitions without rebooting in Leopard) After having a single partition run the Bootcamp utility to do the needful.

Now fortunately there is a hack for everything including activating bootcamp on multiple partitions but this is unsupported. In case you would like to try then have a look at http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/89eaccc5744b7474f4b95e35b8304847-34.php

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?

I use a Mac.

You can have both OSX and Windows

Price wise it's definately worth it (Try to find a PC with the price of a Mac and it probably wont look nice or wont have the exact same specs.

In OSX it's reliable, has never crashed, looks nice, and has MOST used PC programs.

Those who say that 'PC's' have more apps, when are you going to use Super Pie man designer beta 4? All the main progs work better on a mac.

Look at MS Office on OSX! It's amazingly great.
