I blogged earlier today about trying out Apple Boot Camp. The installation succeeded and I have WindowsXP running in full speed.

However, when the Boot Camp partitioner wanted to start the Windows installation, the OSX kernel crashed (with the gray screen) and I had to reboot manually. I think that something went wrong there since the MacOSX partition was no longer usable. I had to completely erase it with Disk Utility from the installation DVD (repairing it wouldn't work) and am now reinstalling MacOSX.

I'll blog later about WindowsXP itself, but I just wanted to warn people already that they have to backup their Mac partition before trying Boot Camp out.

Apple releases Boot Camp as a beta preview of their upcoming Leopard version of MacOSX.

Boot Camp allows you to run WindowsXP alongside MacOSX on your Intel Mac and provides you with all the necessary drivers to do so.

Just as I was about to go through it manually ... this announcement came through. Installation started, I'll report how it goes.

Update: Apple Boot Camp trashed my Mac partition, losing all my data
