Looking for any advice I can get here.. recently bought Windows XP Professional OEM version with SP2. I'm running an Intel Mac with OS 10.5.5, and using bootcamp to create the partition and install.
When I go to install Windows, I get to the point where I choose the partition.. that works fine, I choose the CBOOTCAMP] one, then press enter, and it goes straight onto installing files without asking me how to format the drive (NTFS or FAT32). So I end up with a non-bootable partition (with Windows files all happily installed) formatted as FAT32, which seems no use to me at all.
I also don't get any questions in setup about agreeing to a license or having to entre my product key.
Any advice? Is there a reason why this copy of Windows behaves like this? Is there any way around - another means of formatting the drive as NTFS, or a way of using FAT32??
Help - and thanks!
