Just a question

Is it possible to install an imaged (ghost) version of windows on a mac pro using bootcamp? Ive done it before using parallels but when i went to go put in the product key it would not recgonize it. Im pretty new when it comes to using bootcamp so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If the product key doesn't match the hardware it's assigned to (assuming it was an OEM installation originally), then no, you're pretty much being blocked by Windows' Product Activation and it's working exactly as Microsoft designed it to.

Thats what i was thinking. So if im wanting to run windows on my mac i would have to get an install disc thats not locked to a particular computer? What if i borrowed a disc from someone?

You just need to bite the bullet and purchase a copy of Windows.
