[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1181389, member: 46727"] OK. Thanks for posting back. No, unfortunately Windows will not install from the SD card using the Boot Camp assistant as it will look for a CD. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that you can't do it with the Boot Camp assistant. If you have a legal copy of Windows XP and the SD card is bootable, you may be able to do it this way: Create a partition for XP with Disk Utility (boot from your install DVD) and then boot your machine with the SD card that has Windows on it. Direct the Windows XP installation to the partition you created. Windows will format it and proceed with the install. Just be careful not to install Windows over the top of OS X. As always.... backup, before! [/QUOTE]
