So how do I move the files now? Where do I put the folder I want moved, in the Windows HD? I can't find it when I put it in Program Files. Am I not looking hard enough?

um... it should be ending up where you put it...
try creating a new folder beginning in a 1 on the root level of the windows HD... that way you should be able to find it pretty easily.
alternatively find the route to the desktop and drop things there...

those are just the default options... you can drag the slider around and set as much as you want really...
i did tell you to make sure...
ok, so um... i would.... either start over again, or get an external HDD, or use a little program called MacDrive which allows you to read HFS+ in windows.. unfortunately, all bar the first suggestion cost money.

I know you can drag it around. I took that into account. It still stops you at 10 GB. Am I wrong? (hopefully yes...)I didn't expect the os and the games to be so big.

the minimum would be 10Gb, yes, so that you can install the OS, have a small number of files and still have a bit of space left over for the swap...
then the maximum for FAT32 is 32, and that too is a default option so that you can drag and drop from OSX to the windows drive with minimum hassle.
but aside from that, drag it around to get your desired size. personally i have 120Gb for OSX and 28Gb for XP, and now an external HDD with 160 Gb in FAT32 (windows artificially limits you to 32Gb) which i can use in both.

Wow! you have a lot of space! I have a 500gb hd, but it works over the wifi, which means everything is slower... and with my integrated graphics I can't take any performance hits...

Awww.... Found why it limited me to 10gb. Because I didn't have enough space for my Mac HD. So I just needed to clear up some space on my mac hd for my windows hd...

ah, thats makes sense....
how big is your HDD in the first place? you could consider upgrading it for very little.

My wife will be playing 2nd tier mystery games like Scratches (approx 500MB install size) on her MacBook so I'm thinking that a 32MB partition will do the job.

This may have all ready been mentioned somewhere, but I want to verify for Windows running on your Intel Mac, that if you download a file to your Mac partition, Windows should be able to see the partition, the file, and read and write to it?
I've not done it lately, but as I recall my Windows box can see my Mac on the network. But for some reason when I upgraded to XP (from Win98) I lost the ability for my Mac to see my Windows box.
Thanks!

I need to check my network again. I could swear running XP, I could see my Mac drives and connect to them without any 3rd party software, but obviously it's been a while. Thanks for the pointer at MacDrive!

I was talking about Windows being able to mount your Mac partition, not network shares. Those should still work, I think.
On a Windows capable Mac, let's say your going to download a PC demo and you do that within the MacOS. Then you boot into Windows and it can see this file, could you launch the file and install it into your Windows partition? Or maybe it's a situation where you download stuff to your Mac partition for storage, but when you want to install it you copy over to your Windows partition, install it, then erase the install file on the Windows side? My goal it to keep my Windows partition of minimal size.
Thanks!

I've been using MacFUSE with NTFS-3G, but it seems to work intermittently. It often just won't mount the partition no matter what I do while other times it works fine. The data transfer rates are also pretty bad.

I've got Vista installed on my MBP and it definitely does not see the Mac partition. So the solution becomes find a Windows program allowing it to see the Mac drive or a Mac program that allows it to write to the Windows drive.
