Create, use, and share multiple Boot Camp partitions
Hate to be one of those posters that follow up a good, technically interesting hint with "but why?!"... but... why?! :P What's new here is using more than one partition for the Boot Camp install, but it seems like a lot of work to get yourself unsupported by everyone for the sake of a neater set of drive letters in Windows.

Why? Simple - if windows hoses itself (as is fairly likely in my experience) you can wipe the system partition and re-install windows completely clean, without loosing your data. If you save all your downloads on that data partition as well, you don't even have to re-download any utilities or the like you downloaded, or be left in the position of going "now what was that nifty program I liked so much?" Of course, this being windows, you still have to re-install all your apps as well as the OS, but at least all your data is intact, and you don't have to worry about potential problems from doing a non-clean re-install of windows.

Or you can just take the money you would spend on iPartition, buy MacDrive 7 instead and keep your data on your OS X partition.

MacDrive can be a mixed experience. |
