hey all the pros here! need help! i have the VMware but not yet install and i wanna go to bootcamp to get a partition for WIN now..

and i wanna it to be in FAT32 as NTFS is incompatible with Mac..

so when i'm installing, all the setup process went smoothly but when it finish,the whole process restart back again..its like keep repeating..whats the problem?

has it got to do with the size of partition? the size for it must be smaller than 32gb?

i never partition more than 30gb for bootcamp, but i dont think there's even a limit for it. hmm can u try format to ntfs? u can download ntfs-3g in OSX to deal with the incompatibility issue later
portal runs fine. i've also played spore (ok on 9600m gt, not nice in 9400m) and quake4 smile.gif

but if no limit,then i will fat32 lo..better..im wondering if the size of partition affect my installation process onot..

ya! i met some problems in installing.

i partition my windows for 50gb last time but when it enters the blue screeen installation, it loads all the files and the setup starts..after the blue screen complete,they said my com will reboot in 15secs..but after 15secs,the blue screen instaltion restart all over again..then i google it and i realised they said fat32 partition cannot be larger than 32gb..so i try to partition 30gb this time but still the same problem..sigh!

In windows, we can terminate a 'hanged' application by accessing the task manager via ctrl+ALT+DEL or ALT+F4  .... how do you do that in MBP?

I installed Windows Live Messenger for Mac and it 'hanged' !!
