mykelee is on a distinguished road
Back and defrag before installing BootCamp and XP?

I have a MacBook Pro and wondered if I should install the Bootcamp if I have been using my Laptop since March?

So far I have the following:
53Gb Utilised
39Gb Free

Do I need to find a way to defrag the data before I do any installation?
I also heard it requires a new partition. Will this cause loss of data when I create a new partition?

Many Thanks

Michael

No need to defrag.

Go ahead and install BootCamp. It will do it's thing for creating the Windows partition.

You might want to take a look at Parallels Desktop before installing BootCamp.
