[QUOTE="Britanicus99, post: 926561, member: 127480"] I just installed windows xp-pro and found that following the instructions from apple is pretty good. One of the thing I ran into tho was about pressing the options key when restarting the computer to switch between OS's on boot up. I ttook me a long time to find that out because it is assumed that everyone knows this. Another is if you have a hard time ejecting the cd drive when in windows OS press command and E at same time. This should eject your disk because it seems that the eject button on your MBP doesn't work. Also you may want to get a bluetooth mouse as the touch pad on the MBP doesn't seem to let you right click. Finally read as much as you can, many handy tips and tricks can be found if you take the time to uncover them. Put the most up to date OS disk you have in and it will do the rest. Some glitches but I am working on it. I am still working on driver updates etc as where I am has no wireless atm. I bet that is not going to go smoothly but alas part of the charm of a MB is learning how to use it. [/QUOTE]
