I have a Macbook Pro and want to replace the hard drive on it. Right now I'm running a partition with the mac OS 10.5.5 on it and another partition with XP Pro SP2. I use VMware sometimes as well as boot camp.



I used Apple's disk utility to format and partition the new drive. I've made two partitions and the Mac side is easy using carbon copy cloner to create a copy. On the windows side I can't figure out how to format the partition in FAT-32. When I boot up in XP I cannot see the partition, probably because its formatted as MacOS extended. There must be a procedure for this but I haven't got a clue at this time. Anyone farmiliar?

It actually shouldn't matter what the partition is formatted in, as you can reformat it as NTFS in the XP installer. You can also format it in Disk Utility. Just click on the volume, select the "Erase" tab, and as the format, select "MS-DOS". Additionally, ?and this would be my recommendation? just use the Boot Camp Assistant to create the partition like you did originally.
