Right now I have OSX Leopard installed on my Macbook Pro. I do NOT have a bootcamp partition, I loaded Windows XP through Parallels.
I recently found the need to boot into Windows natively, so I need to create a bootcamp partition for my XP OS.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to make this transition, while continuing to backup my system "completely". I'm just not sure what's the right way to do it.
I'm guessing that the best scenario would be to have both my internal and external drives partitioned into (1) journaled Mac partition and (1) NTFS Windows partition. But if I remember correctly from the last time I set up a bootcamp partition, NTFS is not an option (?) Or is it? Can I do this? Should I do this? How?
If I did do that, and I backed up the Mac partition with Superduper! and the Win partition with Winclone, would the restore of both partitions individually be seamless and ultimately work properly?
Is this NOT the right approach? Can someone please help set me straight?
