[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 1108115, member: 48298"] Well, I'm already married and my wife is not that open-minded ... lol You might try installing Windows in a virtual machine instead of Boot Camp. Depending on what you need windows for, that is usually much simpler without mucking about installing drivers, etc. Try VirtualBox from Sun (it's free) and then reinstall Windows there. Very simple, works great and is (almost) foolproof. You really only need a Boot Camp installation if you want to do heavy Windows gaming or other applications that require hardware access to a discrete graphics adapter. That should get you started on Windows with a lot less brain damage. I'll let other respond on the BC issues. [/QUOTE]
