View Full Version : Starting Over with Boot Camp

Two questions about redoing my Boot Camp installation:

First, I have XP up and running fine on my MBP but I want to start over by reformatting my XP volume in FAT32. Is it as simple as booting from the XP disk and reformatting/reinstalling the XP partition? I assume I can reformat the XP partition without borking my OS X partition, right?

Second, what if I want to resize my XP partition? Can I delete the XP partition and start over with Boot Camp without having to reinstall OS X?

Thanks.

Yes, and yes. For the first one, it might be safer to first delete your XP partition with the Boot Camp Assistant, then make a new one to format as FAT32.

Thanks. I figured the Boot Camp Assistant would get me there but I wanted to be sure.
