You'll notice that there's a 128MB unallocated space. Insert Windows 7 disk (if you haven't already) and then start the install sequence. Whilst FAT doesn't allow for any single files over 4096MB it's also writable natively with both OS's. Reduce OSX to 120GB and make the new (middle) partition MS-DOS FAT, call it SHARED. Select the OSX Partition, and '+' another partition. When your computer restarts you need to hold down the option (alt) key and boot back into Lion, then follow the steps below: You need to insert the Windows 7 disk and then proceed with the installation before the Bootcamp partition will be created. NOTE: On Lion 10.7.2, Bootcamp has changed a little. Load up Bootcamp Wizard, make Windows Partition 120GB whilst OSX has the remaining 380GB.īootcamp should be happy to start the install, but load up Disk Utility first Stretch OSX to the full available space using Disk Utility. Then check your partitions with the command 'diskutil list', you should now have: You should only have your OS X Partition and blank space. Then go into Disk Utility and delete the 'Blank' Partition. Type the following: diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ Blank /dev/disk0s4 What you originally have (factory settings): diskutil listĭisk0s4 needs to be deleted. There needs to be 'Blank' unallocated space available. Select your HDD and go to the Partition tab.ġGB is not actually needed, but it's just to be on the safe side, it'll get resized later. To do this go into Utilities and then into Disk Utility.
BOOT CAMP FOR MAC LION MAC OS X
Start off by resizing Mac OS X Partition so it's at least 1GB smaller than the full disk.
What I want to achieve is to have OS X Lion & Windows 7 installed, with a shared space too. This tutorial also assumes you have OS X Lion installed. I tried this on 2 MacBook Pros and it works perfectly on both.
4 partitions max, just like every other (bootable) hard-drive.
