Thinking of finally boot-camping my MacBook.

I have a XP Pro Sp2 OEM disk.

I know I can install it easy.

what issues could I get when the XP install trys to update to SP3 ?

After successfully installing XP SP2 using Boot Camp, download the Boot Camp 2.1 update from Apple. Install the Boot Camp 2.1 update first and then download SP3 from MS and install. You should be fine.

Regards.

Just remember that BC 2.1 is a Windows file (not a Mac file), so do the download/install from within Windows. Then you'll be set when ready to update.

Cheers
