XP Security and Vulnerability

[dima]

I am a complete mac newbie, but before installing XP want to make sure I have answers to all the questions. Anyway, it's awesome that you guys figured it out: congratulations.

Since we are installing windows, we are going to have all the vulnerabilities associated with it, which means that without the proper protection, the os X partition will be accessible to people (extremely interested in it), which means that the files on the OS X partition may be modified, right?

Is there a way to make a OS X partition absolutely inaccessible from Windows? I know that you can do it with Windows and Linux partitions.

Thanks a lot

By default XP can't see or access the OSX partition. You need to use software such as MacDrive to make it accessible.
