[NFBCS] Disk partition map scheme question.

[Brian Buhrow]

	Hello Maurice.  I'm pretty sure that in order for Bootcamp to work
properly, you need to partition the disk using the MBR partitioning scheme.
In any case, since you've got a working Bootcamp installation on your
machine, you probably don't want to reformat the entire disk, including
the boot sectors.  Instead, you only want to format the partition that
you're setting up.  In that case, you wouldn't change the partitioning
type.  Just add a new partition to take up the unused space, format it with
the filesystem you plan to use and then install the OS you plan to use.
Doing anything else will cause you to have to rebuild your machine from the
blank disk up; I doubt that's what you really want to do.
