How to Switch Bootcamp Partitions
Bootcamp is a utility provided by Apple for their Intel-based Macintosh computers. Bootcamp allows the user to install Microsoft Windows on a separate partition on the Macintosh's hard drive. This ability eliminates the hurdle of any PC-user thinking of making the switch to the Mac OS X operating system due to incompatible software. The Intel-based Macs can run both. Once you've installed Windows on your Mac OS X computer, you must log out and reboot to launch into the second operating system.
