One last XP on Mac note

April 10th, 2006

Something I forgot about with installing XP on the Mac.  When I first ran the repartition utility it complained about my disk having errors and that I would need to fix it.  Listening to the TWiT podcast podcast it sounds like the same thing happened to everyone on the podcast who tried it. Boot camp gave detailed instructions which amounted to booting off the install cd, running a disk fixing utility, and rebooting back into OS X.  This took maybe 15 minutes and three mouse clicks so it was no big deal.  Still it would be nice if the disk repair utility got rolled into boot camp or (if rebooting into a utility mode is necessary) was performed in a more automated manner.

ps - The WYSIWIG interface of Wordpress 2 is nice, but it really needs a spell checker.  There’s probably a plugin for this, but I’m too lazy to look.
