At the office one of the PC guys that, for some reason, was given a G5 upgraded to Leopard and had a hell of a time installing windows.
Now he is trying to install Adobe Production Premium CS2 on the windows partition and isn't having any luck. Has anyone had any issues with CS2? Can anybody suggest a work-around or fix?
Further, it seems to me that it would make more sense to run windows off its own hard drive, rather than just partitioning the single drive. Does that make any sense?

So if you have Windows installed on it's own drive in a Mac Pro, has anyone tried to move it from one Mac Pro w/leopard to another Mac Pro w/leopard? I'm guessing it would work, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks for all the feedback. It's definitely an intel mac. I'm not quite sure why it isn't installing correctly. The only issue that I can think of is that they installed windows incorrectly and, somehow, that's messing things up.
It's kind of a test run for an update to leopard for the office. They want to support premiere and final cut so they figure if they can get both running on the macs then they won't have to shell out cash for new pcs. I suggested they just upgrade to CS3 all around, problem solved, but nobody listens to us little guys.
Thanks again for all the info, you guys are the greatest.

It's very very common for PC users to go this route, both for support, and for editors who'd like to add FCP to their bag of tricks. We know it works, so please let us know if you get any more clues you can help solve.....

Just speculating, but if you were running VMware Fusion and had both operating systems going at once there could be a performance benefit by having each OS on its own hard drive.
