[QUOTE="jamin, post: 327756, member: 5432"] Historia, In order to install Vista on your Mac as you described you will need to install Bootcamp. This utility will partition your harddrive giving you free space to install XP or Vista and a Driver Disk. It also adds a Bios Layer so the install Disks can boot correctly. Macs use EFI and not Bios. After you install Vista you will need to install the drivers from the Driver disk. You may need to download updated Drivers for the Video Card. Now if you didn't care about Aero or running 3D Games or Applications, installing Vista in Parallels or VMware fusion is much easier and doesn't require that you repartition your harddrive. [/QUOTE]
