Noob question about BootCamp


Recommended Posts

I have been given a nice new MacBook pro by work, and been told I can do with it what I want...

I have spent a fair while setting things up, etc.

I am interested in running BootCamp and dual booting a Windows environment, just out of interest.

But if I do this, will I need to reinstall the OSX and so on? Does it trash partitions etc?

Run bootcamp from the utilities folder (inside Applications) and it does everything for you (resize the partition and all)

btw where do you work? I wish I could get a macbook pro from work :p

Work for a CMS development company. It's my main computer for work, hence not wanting any downtime on the system.

So it will resize my existing partition, not trash it?

I have a "Time machine" running, so if it trashes it, will this be of use?
