Vista and Bootcamp problems

...

I want to install Vista Ultimate on a fat32 drive.

it wont let me because Vista installer is a stubborn grumpy poo.

Now I cant access the Vista partition from within MacOSX, and that sux monkey.

MacDrive?... poo. i liked it the way it was, able to access my XP partition from within OSX.

Any other work arounds to make Vista install on a 32 drive?

have a 3rd small partition (<500mb) for that in fat32, don't install vista on it.

either that or use your ipod or a memory stick (if you have either), in the end ntfs will be better for the system, although its likely you'll never be able to write to it in osX

i bet you'll respond with an "i don't waaaannaaaaa", levi, you perfectionist : P

How about Parallels Desktop? It works with intel macs and any other OS including MS up to XP....I imagine that soon it will include Vista.
