Two Questions about my partition

[davetronixx]

Hello to anyone-

I have two questions I'd appreciate some advice on. I use a new Macbook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and am running OS 10.5.5 and Windows XP.

1: Recently I made a partition on my hard drive and installed windows. Unfortunately I did not have my mac system disks with me at the time and thus could not complete the final step, installing the additional needed drivers and such. This was about three months ago. Now I have the disks- is it too late to do so now? Or will I need to start over again and reinstall windows? I am just concerned because it was my friend's copy, and he generously let me use one of his licences. Now I have moved to another continent and would rather not have to buy my own copy.

2: If I run into some problems and need to reinstall my Mac OS, does that erase my partition as well? I set it up as a FAT32 partition- would I need to change that to the other kind in order to reinstall Mac OS (sorry I can't remember what the other kind is called)?

Cool, thanks a lot. Cheers
David

You need to get ahold of a 10.5.x install disk because when you insert in into a Windows partition it will put Windows drivers for that particle machine.

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone.I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone.A very smart and diplomatic answer. It’s really appreciable and general.
