[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1002058, member: 24098"] In short, no. Boot Camp is not a feature of 10.4. It was released as a public beta toward the end of 10.4's life cycle. The full version of Boot Camp was released as a feature of 10.5 and later and the betas expired and are no longer usable. Your options are to either upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6, $29) or to try to manually install Windows by repartitioning your drive manually (which would mean formatting your drive and repartitioning, unless you buy a non-destructive partitioning utility like iPartition) and then using a third party boot loader like [URL="http://refit.sourceforge.net/"]rEFIt[/URL]. Even then, you're going to need drivers, which might be hard to come by. You could probably save yourself a whole lot of time and heartache by either upgrading to Snow Leopard, which has a number of benefits over 10.4, or running Windows in Parallels/VMWare Fusion. At the end of the day, support for 10.4 is now drawing to a close and you're best off upgrading just to keep up to date. [/QUOTE]
