therat12 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have a Macbook. Not Pro. Boot Camp. How much space I should open up in my HD so I can install MVP 05 and MVP 07 with all the patches and mods and stuff.

ronmexico Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have a 120 gb macbook and I put off 16gb on my windows partition. I have MVP 94, 67 and 07 installed, along with Visual Studio (1.5gb) and Microsoft Office. I still have a little more then 5gb left, but I used "Tiny XP" which is only 1.8gb (only core files and no extras that XP comes with normally), as opposed to regular XP (3gb for XP Pro). Depending on if that's all you want, then 6gb should be enough, but just keep in mind those numbers above, depending on what you have installed. Also, Vista is a ***** to bootcamp with, so if it's that, then watch out, it's still in Beta for that, and won't be good until Leopard comes out.

therat12 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks Man, but my Macbook is 80 gigs and right now I just want MVP 07 on it and that would be it actually. And I've got Windows XP not Vista. Vista can go screw itself for all I care. But still thanks man. I'll see what I can do.

WatchdogXC Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Glad to see it runs well. I'm looking forward to trying it on my MacBook Pro. Does it affect it all if you have a FAT32 partition instead of NTFS? I have 28 GB of FAT32 so I can transfer back and forth from XP to OSX.

ronmexico Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 FAT32 is recommended because Mac can natively read and write FAT32 as opposed to NTFS which it can only read.
