[QUOTE="Noels, post: 681113, member: 49942"] Shoolie, Boffo machine and it should give you many happy hours of use and gaming when you finally get Windows installed. I'm afraid that 32 bit info is correct. If you go to your Applications/Utilities folders, there is a file "Boot Camp Assistant" which tells you what you need to install Windows in Boot Camp. On the first page there is a button, "Print Installation & Setup Guide" which is about 25 pages long. If you print it in pdf, you can read it without printing... it basically tells you everything you need to know and do to install, including what versions of Windows can be used, as follows: The Guide says you can install the following, "Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later, or Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate." It also has a note that says, "Important: You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc (Service Pack 2 is required for Windows XP installations). Do not use an upgrade version of Windows and do not install an earlier version of Windows XP and attempt to update it later to SP2. Use only 32-bit versions of Windows." Perhaps you could sell that copy of Windows... Sorry that you had that experience and I hope it turns out better on your next try. Maybe someone else on here has some better words to help you...
