hi everyone, i want to ask you guys about 1 thing, where can we buy both the software, PD or VMware beside at apple's retail store?

And 1 more thing, does anyone here use VMware before? If you have use it, has your machine heat up when you start up the guest OS?

Anyone try virtual box with windows XP or vista?

you just run the bootcamp program in your mac and follow the instruction on screen, then after installation of windows just put in your leopard dvd for the driver.

You can run the bootcamp program again in mac to resize or delete the partition.

Is just a few click and you are done.

I don't think that resize will effect your data in winXP but i m not sure.

Here is some apps you can use in your mac to resize your bootcamp partition, iPartition, CampTune but these programs is not free, you need to pay for it.

Or you can do it this way, use WinClone, is a freeware, and follow the instruction provided.

1.Convert your Windows partition to NTFS, if it isn't already
2.Clone the partition (with Winclone) to an external drive
3.Using Boot Camp Assistant, delete the old Windows partition
4.Relaunch it and create a new, larger partition
5.Cancel the install when prompted (choose Quit and Install Later)
6.Restore the clone you made earlier to the new, larger partition

Here are some Winclone FAQ and Winclone forum you can refer to.

I hope these link can help you with your problem.

if you want virtual machine you can try out this freeware also, call VirtualBox, develop by Sun Microsystem, is an open source software.

For Parallel or VMware Fusion you need to pay for it.

Ya, for bootcamp you need to restart your laptop everytime you want to switch OS.

There is also an alternative to VMware and Parallel, is call VirtualBox, develop by Sun and is a freeware, you can try it out if you do not want to buy VMware or Parallel.
