Can you create a Boot Camp partition AFTER making a Fusion VM? and then re-install it using Boot Camp?

You actually have to wipe the windows partition, then re install windows. Im not sure how, but I was on apples website and there was a forum about how to delet boot camp partitions. and then restore them to the mac side so you can do it again.

You shouldn't have to. Snow Leopard will have new boot camp drivers, so after install, boot into windows with the DVD in the drive and the update installer should start...

I use "AOMEI Partition Assistant Home Edition 5.1" which is free. I've cloned several drives, XP and 7, never any problems.

No, you need to remove it and put it in the 'source' bay. You then need a drive at least as large as the original for the 'target' bay. If the 'target' drive is larger, you can tack on the additional space after you clone it, install it and boot into the OS (i.e. using disk management on Windows computers).

Will you be able to? Yes. Apple provides you with Boot Camp to allow you to install other OS's on the system. However, you might be stuck having a partition of the hard drive (partition meaning taking one harddrive and "sectioning" it into different slices that are viewed as different "virtual" drives) since Apple uses a different way of booting their system than standard PCs use. Also, you might not be able to use the "Arrow Glass" GUI features in Vista because of the embedded Intel graphics. If that's important to you, and you want to go with Apple hardware, you might want to look at the MacBook Pro as they have a dedicated graphics controller. Hope that helps. Will you be able to? Yes.

Easy easy easy yes you can on both. First you need a bootable USB with the operating system on it or a cloning program. Here, check out the clean install video I made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16m25etC3lo

It is backwards compatible. I'm not sure if you can use a boot source but I am sure with certain programs it is possible.

Doubt it. They don't really do that anymore, and it's not listed under the "What's in the box" section. More likely it comes with a restore partition.

Oung S., Yes, you can install an SSD into the unit and use it at the primary boot device after installing an O/S on it.

Yes you can. To properly use it in this manner, you need to create re-partition the drive into two partitions in a GUID partition table (GPT). It cannot be a basic master boot record (MBR) partition found on many Microsoft machines. Then format one as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and one as NTFS or if you're on an antiquated windows machine FAT 32 or FAT 16(which will not recognize drives larger than 2gb, but will work fine if you are partitioning one of the drives as less than 2gb). Once this is complete, you are done and ready to use on both Mac & Windows full time and simultaneously.

I am not an expert on the matter ... Don't know for sure but, I will doubt you can maintain the data as the Drobo needs to rewrite the disc to assure their structure... Not sure if will allow partitions either. Perhaps contacting Drobo directly you might find the right answer

I have an Intel Mac running XP on a partition using VMware Fusion. Has anyone tried this and how did it work?

Sorry to say the answer is NO. The system will not boot from CD/DVD or USB drive so no way to install any other Operating System

I'm sorry but I have my Copy of SmartSuite installed on a Windows 7 PC not a Mac and I really don't know what a Bootcamp partition is.

There would be no reason to re-install the DSM OS when changing RAID types. However you would lose all of the data on the RAID array when you switched.

I have a mac, but I have to run it on the windows application thru vmware fusion
