10.5: Create a three-partition Boot Camp setup
I'd like to thank the contributors to this hint. I had Leopard and Boot Camp installed on a single drive in my MacBook. I replaced the drive with a 250GB HD and wanted to create 2 bootable OSX partitions and keep my Boot Camp partition. I did the following (using a combination of comments here):
10.5: Create a third NTFS partition with Boot Camp
Thankyou PWB for these simplified instructions. However I wanted my extra partition to be NTFS, which with MacFuse and NTFS_3G will be accessible from Leopard and XP.
To do this I did the following:
Something else I have learnt from this exercise, which involved an lot of trial-and-error and rebooting, is that it's not a good idea to create or change any partitions from within Windows using the Disk Management snap-in in Computer Management. This either fails, results in partitions that OSX cannot see, or causes Windows to fail to boot once the partitions are created. It may be possible to do this successfully using the extended options available from the command line in Windows, but I didn't try this. In summary only use OSX to mess around with the partitions.
10.5: Create a third NTFS partition with Boot Camp managed to get it to work on 10.4 too
Using this a great big thanks to these guys.
