Make a dual-partitioned HFS+/FAT32 drive play nice with Windows
Authored by: cmac6126 on Apr 28, '11 02:04:02PM

Mine is GPT and I have the first 3 as NTFS formatted. After that it is HFS+.
After much experimentation I found that XP install could only see the first 3 partitions. Well, actually 4, but if you use a low level tool to look at the partition table you'll see there's a 200MB GPT partition first.
XP is actually on the 3rd. I found that it liked it that way, I'm not sure why, but it blue screens if it's earlier.
I use this setup with both Boot Camp and VMWare.
