Formatting the Windows Partition
Even though Boot Camp pre-formats the Windows partition, this partition can’t be
used to boot the computer. You must reformat the new Windows partition using the
Windows installer.
To format the partition for Windows XP:
m
Select an NTFS or FAT format:
Â
NTFS—Provides better reliability and security, but you will not be able to save files to
the Windows volume from Mac OS X.
 FAT—Provides better compatibility, allowing you to read and write files on the
Windows volume from Mac OS X. This option is available only if the Windows
partition you created in Step 2 is 32 GB or smaller.
Important:
Do not select “Leave the current file system intact.” To successfully install
Windows XP, you must select one of the other options.
