Its literally a matter of updating firmware, and running the bootcamp app. it re-partitions your HD without erasing it, and burns the windows update CD. then you insert your XP disk and restart. Course, my xp disk is wonky, and windows hates me, but it DOES install. _________________________ Electricity tastes good. No, seriously.

JediJoker7169 Awesome Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 477	I wonder if Boot Camp also supports Linux distros... If it doesn't now, it ought to soon. I'd love to triple-boot an Intel Mac, if only just for the hell of it. _________________________ Cheers! :-) - JediJoker Current: - "ProBook:" 15.4" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz - Mac Classic II - Old PowerBook Moved On: - "The Book of Power:" 12.1" PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1.33 GHz - Purple iMac

Almost bought a macbook pro yesterday, i was sooo close pressing the buy button. But managed to convince myself into waiting for a intel ibook, don't know how long im able to do that :p edit.

modyourmac Registered: 08/16/04 Posts: 500 Loc: Portland, Oregon	The more I play with it, the more I'm convinced that an Intel machine needs to be in my near future. This all but killed my regular surfing on dell's refurb store. I no longer desire to have a Mac and a PC under my desk, when I can do everything with one unit. Just makes sense. _________________________ Electricity tastes good. No, seriously.
