[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 745444, member: 24098"] You'll need either a retail version of Windows or an OEM edition for System Builders. Using a disc that came with another computer can be problematic for both legal and technical reasons. I'd recommend Windows XP with Service Pack 2 integrated. You can pick up an OEM version from NewEgg.com for about $100. Just don't expect to be able to play many high end games in Fusion - although it can run some, the performance would be weak at best. If gaming is what you're after, you'll want to install Windows via Boot Camp.
