Just a few questions regarding Boot Camp.

1. Will Boot Camp let me have XP and Vista install at the same time? As I've already got XP on a partition.
2. Would it be possible for Halo 2 to run on the Vista partition? Requirements below.

OS: Windows VistaProcessor: 2 Ghz Pentium 4 processor (or x64)RAM: 1GBHard Drive: 7GBVideo Card: DX9 graphics card: WDDM driver, PS 2.0/32BPP, At least nVidia 6000 or ATI x700 or above

Thanks in advance.

Spilt into separate thread...please don't intentionally highjack discussions. Start a new thread if it is obvious it is a new one.

1. No, by default Boot Camp only supports one Windows partition.
2. Depends whether your Mac meets those requirements!

Oops, forgot to post my system specs. Man I feel like a dumbarse.

2Ghz Dual-Core Intel Processor, 2GB RAM, 256MB VRAM.

The processor power and RAM I'm confident about, just not the graphics card. And thanks for putting up with me, guys.

Technically yes but no, at least not easily.

The only way you could do it would be to create two partitions from the partition that BootCamp made. Depending on the size of this partition you could be out of luck because Vista needs a minimum of 20Gb to install.

Install XP on one of the partitions created by BootCamp and Vista on the other. Now comes the tricky part. Vista will override the bootmenu and will not give you a menu to run either or. You will need to alter the boot.ini and create an entry for WinXP.

From then on it should be as easy as selecting which OS you want to boot from. You'll have to use Google to find out how to do this because I don't want to further your evil plan anymore.
