[QUOTE="RiDE, post: 418691, member: 20712"] If your only reason for installing XP on your macbook is to use Office 2007, then you should use [URL="http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/"]Parallels[/URL] instead of Bootcamp. [URL="http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/"]Parallels[/URL] alows you to run XP in a window (or full screen) WITHIN OS X... no rebooting, no closing OSX apps, etc... SP2 refers to Service Pack 2 (an update to XP)... if the disc says Service pack to or SP2, you have it... You do NOT need SP2 if you use [URL="http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/"]Parallels[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
