I have 150GB assigned to windows on my MBP with a 750GB drive, but I run music software off OSX and really only use the windows side for IT work these days. like can I access the windows partition of the hard drive whilst running mac os lion, and vice versa? Sorry for all the questions, I'm new to mac, and I'm not familiar with the concept of a dual bot system and a partitioned hard drive. I'm also thinking of getting ableton for mac as well for new projects and projects where I don't need some windows specific vst's, will this create a clash? I guess what I want to know is if it's only software/plugins that needs to be saved in the windows partition for the windows ableton to run properly, or if everything needs to be saved there. What else? Would all project files and samples packs and such need to be saved there as well? In doing so, how much space should I partition on my hard drive for bootcamp? I'm assuming ableton and all my plugins will need to be installed in the windows partition of the hard drive. My pc recently broke down and I have just purchased a new macbook pro (October 2011 model)Īs I want to complete some of my unfinished projects that were on my old laptop, and all my vst's are for windows, I am thinking of running bootcamp, purely to use Ableton.
