[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 962909, member: 24098"] Actually, Boot Camp has very specific requirements for which version of Windows you can use. If it's Windows XP, the disc must have SP2/3 integrated. It also must be a full version, not an upgrade edition. And finally, it can not be a system restore disc from another computer as they are frequently tailored to the machine they were sold with. Vista is also supported, but it can not be an upgrade or restore disc (same as with XP). Windows 7 runs, but you need to make sure you have Boot Camp 3.0 (the version that came with Snow Leopard). Additionally, it is not "officially" supported by Boot Camp, but Apple has publicly stated that the release should be out before year's end. All of that information and much more is in this thread: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/windows-classic-linux-other-os/114239-running-windows-mac-switchers-guide.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
