[QUOTE="Kash, post: 970329, member: 23444"] The only OEM version you're allowed to install is the one for System Builders. The OEM copies that come with retail machines like Dell and HP are tied to those specific machines and should not be used for anything else. Those discs contain machine specific drivers and programs that could cause all sorts of problems. If you want to install Windows, then I would suggest buying a copy of Windows that will work properly with Boot Camp. [/QUOTE]
