Re: How to reinstall Windows XP on a 3 partition drive?
by Eric Carter on Oct 9, 2008 at 1:26:02 am

I haven't had the displeasure of having to do this yet. In fact, my friend's mac, on which I established this how-to, is no longer in my possession (so i can't test this theory). I expect, though, that you should be able to boot up using your Windows CD/DVD (insert Windows disc & hold c during startup to boot from it). Just be very careful to re-install XP SP3 to the correct (Boot Camp) partition, otherwise you'll be overwriting one of your other partitions. I don't imagine a reinstallation like this should cause any trouble with the OS X or Data partition.
