Having played around with my 4530s I still want to keep windows on it. I will probably use that more. What I want to do is this:
1. Main harddisk: replace with 128GB SSD: install windows 7
2. Put my default 320GB in DVD tray. Install Mac osx on 100GB partition and leave a 220GB partition that windows can access as 128GB is not enough there (but for my docs I dont need SSD)
Just wanted to check beforehand what is the best way to do this. Win 7 on ssd is easy, but should I just install Mac on 320GB and can I later resize partition and create a new one that windows can still see, or would I have to do something at the installation of MacOsX? I know I mst format GUID and afraid windows will never see that so perhaps this is not feasible.
