I have since decided not to run XP on this machine, and want to format the partition to be used for file storage, etc.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>My problem is that Disk Utility is not recognizing the drive as formattable (presumably because it was formatted as a FAT32 partition by BootCamp). Please let me know how I get my system to format the partition as a Mac based (usable) drive.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Looking forward to your response.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Cheers,</DIV><DIV>Kurt</DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
