I installed Windows XP on my MacBook Pro (Late 2008 model) and everything seems to be running fine. I installed all of my drivers with no problem. Windows is installed on a 31GB partition.
I installed Windows for one reason and one reason only - to print W-2s at my job. There is a small program I need to install, and it comes on a disc that is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Whenever I go to install the program, I insert the disc into the drive and it just makes a noise like it is trying to load and then spits the disc back out.
I thought maybe it was just this program, but it's not - it does it with any disc I try to put in.
Is this a fixable problem? Can I even run PC discs on my Mac (with Windows)?
I'm pretty new to this whole thing so any insight would be appreciated!
