I am dual booting with XP on a 14GB partition. I noticed that I can right click the windows partition and choose to eject it.
Would that be perminant or would it come back after I restart?
I'm not planning on doing it on purpose or anything, but curious what would happen.

good question... i want to know the answer to that as well... !

try it and see what happens!!

I think ejecting the HD would just unmount it. Nothing would happen to the partition, it just wouldn't be accessed by OSX. It wouldn't come back immediately until you re-mount it using the Disk Utility in OSX.

Nothing will happen with the partition. It will just unmount it.
You can mount it back using Disk Utility. -
it will not permanently unmount the partition unfortunately, there are ways to go into terminal and keep the windows partition from mounting.
What happens if I eject a hard drive partition?
